9. Reducing Cholesterol
A recent study found subjects who consumed emu oil experienced significantly reduced cholesterol levels. More research is likely to confirm emu oil's role in the reduction of cholesterol levels but is promising. The oil has high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which can have a cholesterol-lowering effect. One study followed animals fed a high cholesterol diet for two weeks, then subsequently fed emu oil. The subjects showed a 30 percent reduction in cholesterol levels after the secondary stage.
