From the article: Tips for Using Cooking Oils in a Cholesterol-Lowering Diet
Oils high in unsaturated
fats, which include olive, soybean, and sunflower oils, are healthier
alternatives to using butter, margarine, or creams in your cooking endeavors.
Not only do these oils help keep your heart healthy, they can also help keep
your cholesterol
levels in check. But if you’re used to cooking with fattier ingredients,
making the switch to cooking with healthier oils can be a little difficult. How did you make the change? What was easiest about it? Hardest? Got any favorite dishes? And, have you noticed a change in your cholesterol levels since making the switch? Share Your Tips With Us
Olive Oil
- I have started using olive oil for lowering cholesterol. I've been using it in all of my cooking, and have been making dressings based in olive oil. I was really surprised how easy this switch was and how easy it is to cook with olive oil. I usually purchase the extra virgin olive oil. I haven't had my cholesterol checked, but will let you know if this helps.
