In the mid-20th century, Americans were increasingly concerned about the growing rate of heart disease and were told to ditch saturated fats - such as butter and cream - in favor of vegetable oil.
20世纪中叶，美国人越来越关注心脏病的增长率，并被告知弃用诸如黄油和奶油等含有的饱和脂肪酸，倾向于用植物油。
But Dr Catherine Shanahan, a nutritionist and family physician, says this was a serious mistake.
但是，营养学家和家庭医生凯瑟琳博士说，这是一个严重的错误。
Dr Shanahan explains that in the 1950s, consumers were told to stop eating saturated fats and turn to products like vegetable oil, which soon became a pantry staple. But there was another factor to its popularity.
凯瑟琳博士说，20世纪50年代时，消费者们被告知停止食用饱和脂肪酸，转向蔬菜油之类的产品，这很快便成为一种厨房主食。但是促成它人气的还有另一个因素。
She told Daily Mail Online: ’Restaurants and other establishments turned to vegetable oil because of the cost and availability. Olive oil is 10 to 50 times more expensive than vegetable oil.
她告诉《线上每日邮报》：“餐厅和其它机构出于对成本和可用性的考虑，转向蔬菜油。橄榄油比蔬菜油贵10-50倍。”
’Also, it’s very easy to use in cooking because there’s not a high smoke point and it doesn’t have a flavor like olive oil. So it has a one-size-fits-all factor.’
“同样地，做饭时使用蔬菜油也很方便，因为它烟点低，没有橄榄油的那种味道。所以它是厨房的万全之策。”
