Diacylglycerol (Diglyceride) Oil Reduces Obesity
Diacylglycerols (also known as diglycerides) are dietary fatty acids that are found, in small concentrations, in many vegetable-based cooking oils, including canola and soybean oils. However, triacylglycerols, known more commonly as triglycerides, make up the vast majority of the fat content in vegetable-based cooking oils. Triglycerides, which are the most common sources of dietary fat, are rapidly absorbed by the body and are easily converted into body fat. (High levels of triglycerides in the blood have also been linked to obesity and cardiovascular disease.)
