mustard oils

Mustard oil 

Oil extracted from seeds of mustard which are harvested from different regions . It is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, from a chemical standpoint, these are simple fat molecules that have one-unsaturated carbon bond in the molecule, this is also called double bond, which appear to reduce the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease. However, cooking with the oil may pose a serious risk, especially for children.People have long used mustard oil in cooking and alternative medicine. It is common in Asian, notably Indian, cuisines. The oil’s strong taste comes from a compound that is also present in horseradish and wasabi.Mustard oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, which could mean that it benefits cardiovascular health. It also contains a compound that may have anti- inflammatory properties.However, the use of mustard oil is controversial, and the potential risks are so great that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have prohibited its use in cooking.

Cardiovascular benefits

One  systematic review  found that people with diets rich in monounsaturated fatty acids had lower blood pressure and less body fat than others who consumed fewer of these acids. A high proportion of body fat and high blood pressure increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.While mustard oil contains high levels of these fatty acids, avocados and olive oil contain more.It is important to note that these potential benefits are likely to be very small, compared with other factors that influence cardiovascular risk. Consuming mustard oil will not compensate for a broadly unhealthful diet or a lack of physical activity.
