What is the role unsaturated fats in heart health?
Unsaturated fats are found primarily in plant foods, and when consumed in moderation, can help maintain good heart health. Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are the two types of unsaturated fats. Studies suggest that replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats such replacing butter with Promise soft spread made from nutritious plant oils including soybean and canola is beneficial in preventing heart disease risk.
