Russia (bbabo.net), - After 45 years, researchers from the University of Barcelona (UB) suggest using olive or any other cold-pressed vegetable oil as the main source of healthy fats the body needs.

As previously noted by American cardiologists, the use of vegetable oil is associated with a lower risk of premature death from various causes, reports La Vanguardia with reference to the Journals of the American College of Cardiology.

Martha Gouache-Ferret, senior research scientist in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health and study leader, explained that the results of the latest medical work confirmed early recommendations for increasing consumption of vegetable oil after 45 years.

Earlier, a cardiologist, candidate of medical sciences Anna Korenevich said that in the absence of widely available sea fish, vegetable oil is an indispensable product for Russians. The doctor especially singled out linseed and hemp oils, noting that in terms of their properties these products not only compete with the popular olive oil, but also surpass it.

However, it is clarified that it is optimal to add oil to food - to salads, pastries, cereals. Consuming the product on an empty stomach as a treatment or prevention of disease is an unsafe practice.

“If a person, for example, has stones in the body or something else, then in this way he can arrange an unplanned attack of hepatic colic,” warned dietitian Elena Motova.
