Kosher cooking oil that won't make you fat!

I thought this was worth mentioning for all the health consience readers. Enova oil is a kosher (OU) cooking oil where most of that fat is not absorbed. How the heck does it do that, you ask? Well here is thier explanation:

Traditional cooking oils consist mostly of fat molecules called triacylglycerols, or TAGs, with a small amount of diacylglycerols, or DAGs. Enova™ oil consists mostly of DAGs. TAGs carry three fatty acids on a backbone molecule; DAGs carry two fatty acids in the first and second positions on the backbone (1,2 DAGs) or in the first and third positions (1,3 DAGs). Your body breaks down Enova™ oil and traditional TAG oils exactly the same way and absorbs the resulting fatty acids into the intestine.

Enova™ oil consists of at least 80% DAGs. Approximately seventy percent of these DAGs are the (1,3) form of diacylglycerol. Due to the shape of the (1,3) DAG molecules, enzymes in the intestine can't recombine most of the pieces of this fat into fat molecules, so less fat is passed into the bloodstream to be stored in the body. Less of the DAG in Enova™ Oil is stored in the body as fat.
