February is Heart Health Month! Really, shouldn't every month be?

About Mazola® Corn Oil

I easily found Mazola® Corn Oil in the oil and dressings aisle at the grocery store. Mazola Corn Oil is an all-purpose, cholesterol-free cooking oil that is a smart heart-healthy* choice for your family. *See Mazola.com for more information on the relationship between corn oil and heart health.

It has a variety of uses including baking, grilling, sautéing, stir-frying, or mixing up a marinade or dressing.​

I learned that Mazola Corn Oil has more cholesterol-blocking plant sterols than other cooking oils – four times more than olive oil and one and a half times more than canola oil and that clinical studies indicate that when consumed as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, plant sterols can help reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the gut.

A clinical study showed Mazola Corn Oil reduces cholesterol 2x more than extra virgin olive oil.

Did you know that Mazola has a high smoke point of 450°F and performs well in a variety of cooking applications, including grilling and stir-frying many home cooks may not realize that all cooking oils have a smoke point that, once exceeded, not only negatively affect the food’s flavor and nutritional value?

I learned that the American Heart Association recently issued a new presidential advisory on dietary fats and cardiovascular disease (CVD) that strongly advised replacing saturated fat, like that found in coconut oil, with polyunsaturated fat, like corn oil, to reduce the risk of CVD by 30 percent.

I learned that the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans no longer emphasize a “low-fat” diet, but rather choose quality, “good” fats.

This includes replacing saturated fats that are known to contribute to heart disease with unsaturated fats, especially polyunsaturated fats, like those in Mazola Corn Oil. And, according to the USDA, corn oil has more than five times the amount of polyunsaturated fats compared to olive oil.

Reduce saturated fats and cholesterol in your meals easily with simple swaps, such as substituting butter with Mazola Corn Oil. A clinical study showed Mazola Corn Oil reduces cholesterol 2x more than extra virgin olive oil. To learn more about this claim, visit Mazola.com
