Pulse Mix 09:00 - 13 October 2020

Comedian <strong>MC Lively</strong>’s new skit, “OIL IS NOT OIL O!” is a familiar story of how many Nigerians endanger their lives through consumption of unbranded oil which The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and the Nigerian Heart Foundation (NHF) have continued to campaign against.

The skit captures how many of Nigerian food consumers buy unbranded oils because they are cheap and ‘plenty’ in quantity without knowledge about the source of the oil or the process it has passed through before getting through to them.

In his usual comic manner, MC Lively tells his friend who just gave birth to a twin that unbranded oil could cause Cardiac Arrest, Hypertension and many other heart diseases, a statement that has been corroborated by NAFDAC, NHF and the Nutrition Society of Nigeria.

Similarly, Aproko Doctor, a popular online influencer who is known for supporting Healthy Living and lifestyle took to his Twitter page to caution Nigerians over consumption of unbranded oil.

According to the health expert, most unbranded cooking oil contain high amounts of saturated fat which raises bad fat, narrows blood vessels and can lead to a heart attack.

If you have parents with hypertension or diabetes, be careful the cooking oil they use
As they get older, there is risk of high cholesterol, because their bodies can’t clear cholesterol from the blood as well as they could when they were younger

There are two kinds of fats in the blood

Good fat and bad fat

Good fat is called HDL, while the bad fat is called LDL
The good fat absorbs cholesterol and carries it back to the liver, which then removes it from the body
Bad fat just accumulates in your vessels

When you go the market and get cooking oils from unknown sources, you might be raising your bad fat
How?
Some of these sellers add things like shea butter, bleached palm oil that contain saturated fat that increase your bad fat and deposit in your vessels #SayNoToUnbrandedOil

Most of these unbranded oils become solid when left for a while.
When this happens, it simply means that they contain high amounts of saturated fat which raises your LDL, narrows your blood vessels and can lead to a heart attack.
What oils do you use?#LessIsMore
