Mustard oil is good or bad for health ?

Several years ago, mustard oil was banished from the kitchen with a 'heart-harmful' image. But whether this is true or false, there is a lot of research in the interim. So it is known that mustard oil contains only eight percent saturated fatty acids. The remaining 92 percent are unsaturated fatty acids. Every 100 grams of mustard oil contains 10 grams of alpha-linolenic acid (Omega 3). And linoleic acid (omega 6) 12 grams. Omega 6 fatty acids help prevent heart disease. The ratio of Omega 3 and Omega 6 in mustard oil is roughly 1:1. In fact, mustard oil is not harmful to the heart at all due to the presence of high levels of alpha-linolenic acid. Another thing is that because of the presence of a fatty acid called uric acid in mustard oil, mustard oil increases the risk of heart attack. However, studies have shown such notions to be completely wrong.
