To Oil Or Not To Oil With The Non Stick Cooking Liner

By Young Lindsay


Mainstream media are still advertising the alleged dangers of cholesterol and doctors are still pushing statin controlling drugs. But it is high time to pass on the information that the diet heart hypothesis is wrong, very wrong. It is not cholesterol that causes heart diseases. In fact, we rely on cholesterol to have a properly working brain and a healthy cardiovascular system.

Unless you are are chicken or a rabbit, saturated fat is okay. We have been taught for so long to fear it that we have even abandoned oil itself and opted for the non stick cooking liner. But fear no more and know which oils are good or evil.

Ghee, an animal fat, is used for ayurvedic cooking. Rich in vitamins A, K2, and D, it also contains conjugated linoleic acid that protects us against diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. If you are sensitive to dairy products, this might be your best friend because the milk solids in ghee have already been removed, depending on how sensitive you are.

Grassfed butter is also good for you. We need cholesterol in our diet to have properly functioning body. Your best options would be organic raw grassfed butter, and has a smoke point between 325 to 375 degrees, which means it is best used in low temperature.

Virgin, raw, or unrefined coconut fat does not only give your grubs a wonderful flavor, but it is also very healthy. It helps in weight loss, enhances your skin, and aid cardiovascular health. It is also known to aid in repairing your metabolism, and has a smoke point of 280 to 365 degrees.

Of course, the famous olive oil is probably the king of good fats. It does not only keep your heart fine and dandy but also has loads of antioxidants and contains anti inflammatory properties. The catch is that so many opportunistic vendors mix olive oil with cheap vegetable fats, so just make sure you buy from reliable sellers.

There is controversy surrounding the destruction of rainforests due to palm fat plantations, but palm oils are great for your health. Make sure that your sources of palm butter are sustainable so you do not support deforestation. Avocado fats are also beneficial if they are used to the minimum.

Prepare to avoid the most commercialized ones because most of them are the ones advertised based on the lipid myth. That means that soybean and vegetable fats are foes, not friends. Omega 6 is the culprit behind inflammation and heart problems, and these oils are rich with such substances. Vegetable fats, including corn and soybean, have high levels of phytic acid and trypsin inhibitors that may block nutrition absorption and cause hormonal disorders.

Grapeseed oil is another shocker when it comes to bad fats. The supposed benefits of grapeseed based on the cholesterol myth, so expect it to be unhealthy instead of the proclaimed opposite. It has seventy percent omega 6 fatty acids and can lead to autoimmune illnesses, not just heart disease and cancer. Canola and rapeseed should also be avoided as it is genetically modified and are prone to oxidation when heated, and can be carcinogenic.
