Oils are a slippery subject so here is a little cheat sheet to have on hand
High Heat
Olive Oil
Coconut Oil
Tallow
Ghee
Medium Heat
Avocado Oil-honestly this oil gets mixed with canola oil a lot and its not on the bottle so I skip this one.
Low Heat
Butter
Oils to never use ever because they cause inflammation, dementia....
Canola, Corn, Cottonseed, Soy, Sunflower, Safflower, Grapeseed, and Rice bran
Why?
The consumption of industrial seed oils represents an evolutionary mismatch.
Eating industrial seed oils raises our omega-6-to-omega-3 fatty acid ratios which triggers the body to produce pro-inflammatory chemicals.
Industrial seed oils are unstable and oxidize easily.
They contain harmful additives.
They’re derived from genetically modified crops.
When industrial seed oils are repeatedly heated (as restaurants do in fryers), even more toxic byproducts are created.
Some side effects of eating seed oils are here but not limited to:
Asthma
Autoimmune disease
Cognitive and mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, cognitive decline, dementia, and even Alzheimer’s disease.
Diabetes and obesity
Heart disease (they are far from being heart healthy!)
Gut health issues such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
Inflammation
Infertility
Macular degeneration
Osteoarthritis
Your friendly neighborhood fast food restaurants all cook in these oils. Throw these oils out of your house and drive right past Chick Fil A. Yes, I said it. Chick Fil A is not healthy fast food. Tell me why a chicken sandwich has 52 ingredients, one of them being a non foaming agent. This is for another blog post....
