Some pointers from us on which fats to avoid and which which fats are beneficial. The skinny is, avoid highly processed and industrial oils (agricultural and industrial process wastes that have been turned into "food" product). Most of them are Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that are easily damaged (by exposure to light, heat and exposure to air), which then cause oxidative stress and inflammation in our bodies. In addition they are often heavily sprayed with herbicides and pesticides, processed with high heat, high pressure, and solvents. Focus instead on consuming virgin oils that are prepared without solvents, heat, or high pressure. Saturated fats will be more stable for cooking. AVOID:
Processed seed, grain and legume oils:
Canola oil
Soybean oil
Corn oil
Peanut oil
Sunflower oil
Safflower oil
Cotton oil
Rice bran oil
CONSUME:
For low heat/no heat - Extra virgin cold pressed organic monounsaturated oils such as avocado and olive oil.
Ok to use with heat - Saturated fats such as macadamia oil, butter, ghee.
