WE USE SUNFLOWER OIL -August-2009

'Clean and sustainable sunflower oil:
The Vege Chip Company has always been forward thinking in ways to produce a healthier product for you the consumer.  We earnestly looked at what was the best oil to cook our chips in and concluded that Sunflower oil ticked all the good boxes.
High in vitamin E, it has a light clean taste. It is a premium oil that is low in saturated fat but with monounsaturated levels of 80% and above. The sunflower oil we also use is also a GMO free oil.

Sunflower oil of any kind has been shown to have cardiovascular benefits. Diets combined with a low fat content and high levels of oleic acid have been suggested to lower cholesterol which, in turn, results in a smaller risk of heart disease.
Studies of adults suggested that a balanced diet in which small quantities of saturated fats are replaced with sunflower oil has detectable cholesterol-reducing benefits. Research suggests that lower cholesterol levels can be caused by balances of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Sunflower oil may help with this balance.'
