Hoʻolaha ʻia ka ʻaila niu ma ke ʻano he meaʻai olakino. Ua ʻike mākou aia nā mea momona polyunsaturated koʻikoʻi ʻaʻole i synthesized e ke kino kanaka. ʻO ia hoʻi, hiki ke loaʻa mai waho wale nō. ʻO ka aila niu i hoʻomaʻemaʻeʻoleʻia he kumu ia o kēia mau momona momona, e like me lauric, oleic, stearic, caprylic, a me nā mea'ē aʻe. I ka wā wela, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻokuʻu i nā carcinogens, e mālama ana i nā huaora pono āpau a me nā waikawa amino, e hiki ai ke hoʻohana nui ʻia i ka kuke ʻana.
Eia nō naʻe, ʻōlelo ka poʻe ʻepekema ʻAmelika e haʻalele i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka aila niu ma ke ʻano he analogue i nā aila mea kanu ʻē aʻe a me nā momona holoholona. ʻIke ʻia he ʻeono manawa ʻoi aku ka momona ma mua o ka ʻaila ʻoliva. ʻO nā momona momona, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, manaʻo ʻia he maikaʻi ʻole no ka mea hiki iā lākou ke hoʻonui i nā pae cholesterol maikaʻi ʻole, e hoʻonui ana i ka pilikia o ka maʻi puʻuwai.
Wahi a kekahi ʻatikala i paʻi ʻia, aia ka ʻaila niu he 82% ka momona momona, ʻoiai he 39% ka momona o ka momona, he 50% ka momona pipi, a he 63% ka momona.
Ua hōʻike ʻia nā noiʻi i nā makahiki 1950 i kahi loulou ma waena o ka momona momona a me ka cholesterol LDL (ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo "bad" cholesterol). Hiki ke alakaʻi i ke koko a alakaʻi i ka maʻi puʻuwai a me ka hahau.
ʻO ka HDL-cholesterol, ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, pale i ka maʻi puʻuwai. Hoʻopili ia i ka cholesterol a hoʻihoʻi i ke ake, kahi e hoʻokuʻu aku ai i waho o ke kino. Loaʻa i nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o ka "maikaʻi" cholesterol ka hopena kūpono.
Manaʻo ka AHA e hoʻololi i nā meaʻai kiʻekiʻe i nā momona momona, e like me ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula, nā meaʻai palai, a, auwe, ka aila niu, me nā kumu o nā momona unsaturated e like me nā nati, legumes, avocados, nā aila mea kanu non-tropical (olive, flaxseed, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe) .
Wahi a ka Public Health England, ʻaʻole pono e ʻai ke kanaka waena ma mua o 30 grams o ka momona momona i kēlā me kēia lā, a ʻaʻole pono ka wahine ma mua o 20 grams. Manaʻo ka AHA e hoʻemi i ka momona momona i 5-6% o ka nui o nā calorie, ʻo ia hoʻi ma kahi o 13 grams no ka meaʻai 2000 calorie i kēlā me kēia lā.
