Olive Oil:

A key component of the healthy Mediterranean diet.

It is the oil richest in monounsaturated fats, which lower blood cholesterol.

If you don't like olive oil, try canola oil, it is almost as high in monounsaturates, with even less saturated fat. Other oil sources of monounsaturated fats are Peanut oil, Sesame oil, Walnut oil, Soybean oil, Flaxseed oil and Grape seed oil.
A recent study found that you can cut LDL cholesterol by 7 to 10 percent if you substitute olive or canola oil for margarine even more if you're replacing butter.

But do not go overboard on any oil, they all contain 14 grams of fat and 120 calories per tablespoon.

Flaxseed Oil:

Flaxseed oil comes from flax and is an oilseed. It is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids and also contains lignans. Research has shown that a diet that contains lignans can reduce the risk of several types of cancer as well as heart disease and osteoporosis
