Safflower

Safflower oil is rich in monounsaturated fat, which may help protect against heart disease. Unlike saturated fats from meat and dairy, which are linked to unhealthy cholesterol levels, monounsaturated fat may help reduce "bad" ldl cholesterol in your bloodstream that can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, narrowing the passageway.
Sometimes, the plaque can break open, causing a blood clot that completely blocks the artery. This may cause a heart attack or stroke, which is why cholesterol management is vital for your cardiovascular health. The monounsaturated safflower oil is commonly used as cooking oil that is suitable for high temperatures; such as use in a deep fryer.
The monounsaturated oil is shelf-stable and can be stored in a cool, dark, and dry place.
The monounsaturated oils are often advertised for their durability in cooking at high temperatures.
The polyunsaturated safflower oil is high in linoleic acid and is used as cold oil such as mixed into salad dressings.
The polyunsaturated oil is not shelf stable and must be kept in the refrigerator or in a cool location.
Polyunsaturated safflower oils cannot be used in cooking as they will become rancid.
Many bottles will specify what type of safflower oil it contains so there is no confusion.

Diabetes
The omega-6 fatty acid has also been shown to manage blood sugar levels, thereby helping those people who suffer from diabetes to keep their blood sugar even.
This can also prevent people from developing diabetes.

Pms
For women going through menstruation, it can be a painful and uncomfortable time.
Safflower oilas linoleic acid regulates the prostaglandins in the body, which can cause such dramatic hormonal fluctuations and symptoms during menstruation.
Therefore, safflower oil can decrease the severity of the pms symptoms and can also regulate menstrual cycles, just like hormonal supplements, without the dangerous side effects.

Immune system health
Although they regulate the function of prostaglandins, safflower oil also contributes the omega-6 fatty acids that create prostglandins.
These are hormone-like substances that help the body to function normally, including the processes of the immune system, therefore leaving our body more protected.

Obesity
This has long been known as a good choice for those people who are trying their best to lose weight.
Omega-6 fatty acids, of which safflower oil is rich, helps the body to burn fat, rather than store it.
This makes safflower oil very valuable, since vegetable oil is used in so many cooking preparations, and it can be used by people suffering from obesity to lose weight without having to make too many changes to their diet.

Vitamin-e
Safflower oil is also an excellent source of vitamin e, as each tablespoon provides 4.6 milligrams of this nutrient, one-fourth of the daily value.
Vitamin e is an antioxidant that helps protect your cells from free-radical damage from sun exposure, cigarette smoke and other pollutants.
You also need vitamin e for a healthy immune system and cell signaling, and the nutrient may even play a role in maintaining plaque-free arteries, according to the office of dietary supplements.
Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats both help to reduce levels of ldl, or "bad" cholesterol and increase levels of hdl, or "good" cholesterol.

As a higher hdl-to-total cholesterol level reduces your risk of heart disease, heart attack, stroke and hardened arteries, both safflower and grape seed oils have cardiovascular benefits.

Warning:
*if you have a problem with blood clotting, donat use safflower oil, because it can dramatically slow down blood clotting, since it is a blood thinner.
Also, if you have an allergy to ragweed and others in that family, avoid safflower oil, since it is that botanical family and can cause allergic reactions of varying severity.
