Corn oil

Corn oil is a kind of vegetable oil extracted from the germ of corn. It contains a high level of unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, and polyphenols. The fatty acids content of corn oil contains 15% of saturated fatty acids, and 85% of unsaturated fatty acids. The main content of unsaturated fatty acids is oleic acid and glyceric acid. Corn oil is generally recognized as the safest edible oil. It can be well digested (the digestibility by the human body is more than 97%), and is highly stable. Meanwhile, its glyceric acid content can reduce the cholesterol build-up in arteries and veins, thereby lowering blood pressure, and preventing atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). This can in turn, lower the occurrence of heart attack.
