Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / November 2007Extract Omega-6 content from USDA SR Reports?
Hi Experts, I have a copy of the USDA SR18 Search Prog and am trying to find out the Omega-6 content of canola oil. It has listed various Fatty Acids, saturated, etc and 4:0, ......24:0.... 16:1 undifferentiated etc etc. How to extract the Omega-6 amount per tbsp or whatever? TIA RF I found info. at: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/cgi-bin/list_nut_edit.pl Looks like it's approximately 19% omega 6 PUFAs. Keep in mind that what's probably much more important (relative to other highly unsaturated fat sources) is how susceptible it is to lipid peroxidation. You can do some searches for canola rancimat and see what kind of studies have been done on this subject. > I found info. at: > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > peroxidation.

The link you gave has no data. RF A few of us (clearly non-expert) who are committed to a slow and lingering death by PUFicide and Canolicide, also take at least small comfort in the the (natural) Alpha and Gamma Tocopherol antioxidant and vitamin K content. :-) Regards MikeV > Hi Experts, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > RF Yes, Mike.

I myself sometimes dream of the pinnacles of good health I may have missed, by committing myself to dietary self-destruction more than ten years ago. I had anticipated that by now I would have made my small contribution to saving the planet from over-population. :-( MikeV > Yes, Mike. > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> >> > Hi Experts, |
