This margarine is high in polyunsaturates.
Quavers contain a mixture of fats (4.9g): saturated fat 0.4g, polyunsaturated fat 0.6g and monounsaturated fat 3.8g.
The most highly polyunsaturated dietary fats were found to be the most carcinogenic.
Although both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats can replace saturated fat in the diet, trans unsaturated fats should be avoided.
These three major strains differ greatly in their levels of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
There is little evidence that dietary saturated fat or polyunsaturated fat intake affects risk.
Unsaturated fats may be further classified as monounsaturated (one double-bond) or polyunsaturated (many double-bonds).
Worries that cancer might be caused by polyunsaturates have been shown to be unfounded.
