Weight Loss and Health Benefits of Safflower Oil

At one point, dieters were scared to consume any type of fat because it was believed that eating fat made you fat. Now we know there is a difference between good fats and bad fats. No, you can't go eat a tub of ice cream and expect to lose weight, but you can have a small amount of healthy fats found in some oils, nuts, avocados and the like.
One easy switch can make a big difference. Swap the canola, vegetable or olive oil you normally use for safflower oil. An Ohio State University study found that women reduced their belly fat by 6.3 % in just 16 weeks with safflower.
