Which is healthier, animal oil or vegetable oil?

It has been argued that eating animal oil or vegetable oil is healthier. Later, it was even said that cooking with vegetable oil would cause cancer, which made people question these two oils. In fact, animal oil and vegetable oil can provide a lot of nutrition for human body.

Both vegetable oil and animal oil are oil compounds. It's just that animal oil and vegetable oil contain different nutrients, and the oil components in animal oil are mainly saturated fatty acids. These saturated fatty acids have high melting points, so animal oil is solid at room temperature. The fatty acid of vegetable oil is unsaturated fatty acid, and the melting point of unsaturated fatty acid is generally very low, so vegetable oil is generally liquid at room temperature.

Although animal oil and vegetable oil contain different kinds of fatty acids, they are the main sources of fat-soluble vitamins. It is closely related to the transport and function of fat-soluble vitamins. The difference is that animal oil and vegetable oil contain different main vitamins. The fat-soluble vitamins contained in animal oil are vitamin A and vitamin D; The types of vitamins contained in vegetable oil are vitamin E and vitamin K; Different kinds of vitamins contained in animal oil and vegetable oil are destined to have different physiological effects on human body.

In that case, why do some people think that animal oil is not as good as vegetable oil, or vegetable oil is not as good as animal oil? This is because some people look at the problem from a single level. Because animal oil contains a lot of cholesterol, if young people ingest the cholesterol in animal oil, there will be no problem. However, the blood cholesterol content of some middle-aged and elderly people is already very high, and taking more cholesterol in animal oil will lead to many diseases.

The uprising against vegetable oil is because some vegetable oils contain a lot of nitrogen. So some people say that these nitrogen elements in vegetable oil will produce a certain amount of toxic substances under the action of high temperature. Eventually lead to cancer. So many people think that eating vegetable oil will cause cancer, but this statement is irrational. Nitrogen in organic matter becomes toxic, and the required reaction conditions are very harsh. It is impossible to say that it can become a toxic substance as long as it is heated, which is very illogical. So vegetable oil can cause cancer, which is wrong.

Finally, whether it is animal oil or vegetable oil, as long as it is not more than 30 grams per day, it is very beneficial to the human body.
