cooking oils are included in the fat sources in our diets. the recommendation is to keep fats at no more than 20% to 35% of your total calories from fat per day. the majority of this fat should be monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. foods that are high in monounsaturated fats include vegetable oils (olive oil canola oil peanut oil sunflower oil and sesame oil) avocados peanut butter and many nuts and seeds.
if i use oil when i cook does it really matter what kinds i use?
