October 2011/NutraSolutions -- Although close to two decades of clinical studies have identified negative impacts of saturated (SFA) and trans fats on cardiovascular disease (CVD), no single oil free of these “bad” fats has been available to food manufacturers.
Now, Dow AgroSciences has unveiled an “industry-first,” trans- and SFA- (<3.5%) free Omega-9 Sunflower Oil. Omega-9 Sunflower Oil is also uniquely high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fat (MUFA, >90%), which, in combination with its trans- and SFA-free profile, provides an exceptionally healthy product.
