Definition: The word "agrosterol" means something that is mainly derived from oil, such as butter or vegetable oil, but also includes other types of fats such as saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats. It can refer to a specific type of fat, such as omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oils like salmon. Definition: Agrosterol (noun): The main component of the fatty substances that are primarily derived from oil or animal products, including butter, vegetable oil, nuts and seeds, and even some types of meat. It's particularly high in saturated fats, which contribute to heart disease. Agrostarch refers to a variety of fats that are considered as well. Eggs contain very high levels of agrocholsterol, especially linoleic acid (found in eggs), which is one of the primary components of cholesterol and may interact with certain medications or supplements. Monounsaturated (noun): A type of fat that is primarily made up of two fatty acids, linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid. Monounsaturated fats are considered healthier because they have fewer calories compared to saturated fats, but they're less likely to be digested by your body. They can increase levels of HDL (good) cholesterol and help lower the risk of heart disease. Polyunsaturated (noun): A type of fat that is primarily made up of three fatty acids, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and α-linolenic acid. Polyunsaturated fats are known for their beneficial effects on heart health, but they can also contribute to an increase in inflammation and increased risk of certain types of cancer. Omega-3 (noun): A type of fatty acid that is found primarily in fish, such as salmon, and has been linked to reduced levels of triglycerides in the blood, which may help lower cholesterol. Omega-6 fatty acids are known for their role in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. Note: The word "agrocholsterol" also refers to a type of saturated fat that is derived from animal sources and can be harmful if not consumed in moderation as it's often found in processed foods, such as snacks or pastries.
