Saturated fatty acids are mainly present in animal fats such as lard and butter. Saturated fatty acids can provide energy for the human body, but excessive intake can induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, atherosclerosis, etc. Due to modern people already consuming enough meat every day, nutritionists recommend low levels of saturated fatty acids in edible oils. According to the definition of international nutritional standards; Saturated fatty acids should be less than 12%. In 2013, the Chinese Journal of Cereals and Oils published an analysis of the main chemical components in Camellia oleifera seed oil and olive oil; This article evaluates 17 types of olive oil and 17 types of tea oil in the domestic market, with an average content of saturated fatty acids in olive oil of 14.11% and tea oil of 10.37%< Br/> From the book "Behind Tea Oil"

Oleic acid is an essential nutrient for animals and plants. The International Nutrition Society argues that the nutritional value of edible oil mainly depends on its oleic acid content. The higher the oleic acid content, the higher the nutritional value. Olive oil is known as the "queen of vegetable oil" in the West precisely because it contains a large amount of oleic acid. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA); The announcement on November 1, 2004 said that the daily intake of 23 grams of oleic acid can significantly reduce the incidence rate of coronary heart disease. According to Chinese national standards, the oleic acid content in olive oil is 55%; Between 83%, tea oil is at 74%; Between 87%& Nbsp; According to the Chinese Journal of Cereals and Oils; According to the evaluation results on, the average oleic acid content in olive oil is 76.16%, and tea oil is 80.64%

The surface of the human skin is covered by a layer of fat film, which can lock in water in the body, block harmful substances, and have a moisturizing effect. It can also keep the skin weakly acidic and inhibit the proliferation of various bacteria. What specific type of fatty acid is this layer of fat film? More than 40% is oleic acid. Camellia oil contains over 80% oleic acid, making it very compatible with the skin and easy to penetrate
Camellia oil has the ability to absorb harmful ultraviolet rays (UVB), so British botanist Dr. Daniels Jia said that applying camellia oil can prevent serious sunburn and maintain healthy skin tone
From "The Incredible Tea Oil"

In China, camellia oil is a designated tribute of the royal family and is known as the royal cooking oil. Numerous ancient books have recorded the benefits of camellia oil:
According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, "Tea oil has the effects of brightening the eyes, moisturizing the intestines, promoting bowel movements, clearing heat and dampness, killing insects, and detoxifying tea seeds."
"Tea oil can treat hemorrhoids, reduce dampness and heat..."
"Tea oil can moisten the intestines, clear the stomach, detoxify, and kill bacteria."
The "Nongxiju Dietary Manual" records: "Tea oil can moisten dryness, clear heat, calm the wind, and benefit the head... Tea oil is suitable for cooking dishes, and is suitable for daily use. When steamed and cooked, it is responsible for producing light. Among all oils, this is the lightest and clearest, so all diseases should not be avoided."
The Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine states: "Runchang Tongbian, also used for hernia, abdominal pain, and burns caused by scalding"
Tiangong Kaiwu praised "the oil taste is very beautiful"
Chinese Medicine Sea: It can resist ultraviolet rays, prevent sunburn and wrinkles, and is very effective in eliminating melasma and sunburn
In Japan, tea oil is an officially recognized beauty oil and is used in many beauty products. In Taiwan, tea oil is used as a dietary remedy for postpartum health and recovery
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has designated tea oil as a key health premium food oil for promotion.

Oleic acid belongs to monounsaturated fatty acids. A large number of medical experiments have shown that consuming oils mainly composed of monounsaturated fatty acids can reduce the content of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the body, while maintaining or even increasing the content of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The content of oleic acid in tea oil is generally between 74% and 87%, which is basically stable at around 80%, and is currently the highest among various major edible oils. Therefore, consuming tea oil is beneficial for lowering cholesterol in blood lipids, reducing the deposition of cholesterol on blood vessel walls, and thus preventing arteriosclerosis and increased blood pressure. According to epidemiological investigations abroad, there is a significant negative correlation between monounsaturated fatty acids in the diet and the mortality rate of coronary heart disease.

Misconception: Eat less fat to avoid obesity
Correct concept: Consuming good fats, increasing good cholesterol, and reducing bad cholesterol
Oil is one of the essential nutrients for human health. It is not only an important source of energy for human activities along with carbohydrates, but also an important component of cell membranes. Visceral fat and skin oil can also serve as protective layers to provide protection for the human body
In addition to providing essential unsaturated fatty acids that the human body cannot synthesize on its own, fats can also promote the absorption of fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Low fat can even affect endocrine balance, leading to menstrual disorders in women. Eating the right amount of oil can help soften blood vessels and reduce the three highs.
