PEANUT OIL HEALTH BENEFITS

• Peanut oil is one of the healthiest oils. It is a vegetable oil that is naturally trans fat-free, cholesterol free, and low in saturated fats. Peanut oil is high in unsaturated fats, especially monounsaturated fat, like the one found in olive oil. It is also a source of the antioxidant vitamin E and phytosterols, which benefit heart health.

Peanut Oil Nutrition Studies

The health benefits of peanut oil on blood lipids and heart health were looked at in a controlled human study conducted at Penn State University. The study assigned subjects to one of four diets: 1. Moderate-fat – 1/2 fat from peanut oil (PO) 2. Moderate-fat – 1/2 fat from olive oil (OO) 3. Moderate-fat – 1/2 fat from peanuts and peanut butter (PPB) 4. Low-fat Step II diet (American Heart Association/National Cholesterol Education Program) 5. Average American diet – (AAD) The PO and PPB diets significantly improved total and “bad” LDL cholesterol levels, similar to olive oil, when compared to an AAD. Cardiovascular disease risk was also significantly reduced by the PO and PPB diets, similar to the OO diet. In another human study, weight loss was measured in those on a moderate-fat diet versus a low-fat diet. Peanut oil was substituted for half of the fat in the moderate fat diet. Subjects on the diet including peanut oil lost weight and had improved cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
