Question

Hailey, a local registered dietitian, frequently joins Aaron during his cooking classes at the local community hospital. Hailey often points out the common food sources of soluble fiber during Aaron's one hour cooking class. When working with patients and their families in their hospital rooms, she often explains to how common foods containing soluble fiber can play a major role in reducing the risk of having another heart attack. For this evening's cooking class, Hailey set up a display of five common items on a table and asked for a volunteer to select the ones which provide soluble fiber. During the cooking class, Jeff offered to try his hand at choosing the items which provide soluble fiber. Jeff should select all of the following items except: a b. C d e cat bran muffin canola oil fresh apple pinto beans sliced pear

Answer 1

Ans: Jeff should select all of the following items except canola oil because it contains fat and no fiber of any kind.Being a fat, canola oil is high in energy; 100 g of oil provides 884 calories.It is one of the cooking oils with a high smoke point; 450 °F. This property can be exploited in setting oil temperature high while deep-frying food items. Canola oil has very good lipid profile. It has good distribution of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated (SFA: MUFA: PUFA= 8: 61: 31) fats in healthy proportions.It contains linoleic (omega-6) and a-linolenic acid (omega-3) essential fatty acids at 2:1 ratio, marking it as one of the healthiest cooking oils.
