That is the primary argument against increasing the amount of PUFAs in
your diet.

Contrary to what the former study says the importance of PUFA for
cholesterol lowering is laughable. The natural method of controlling
cholesterol is with fiber from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
along with regular exercise.

NuSun sunflower oil, however, might be interested in the commerical
market as an alternative to the hydrogenation of oil. I wouldn't object
to the commerical use of NuSun sunflower oil if it means less trans fat.
