Cooking oils

lauragirl · July 2015

Hi everyone!

Its been about a month since my cancer diagnosis. Im looking for information on cooking oils. We use cooking oils everyday lunch dinner and breakfast. What is a healthy cooking oil? Currently I use pure olive oil at home but I'm looking to change from olive oil after reading about the low smoke point. Ive been researching since yesterday and am still confused. Any information on canola or sunflower oil?

Any advice will be appreciated!

Thank you

Canola good, sunflower bad. It has to do with the ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 in our diet. Foodforbreastcancer web site has discussion and links to research studies.

This article includes info on oils and recommends the following: Olive should not be heated. Coconut can be used for higher temps. Veggie, sunflower, canola, etc. should be avoided.

I would never cook with canola oil. Here's a great article on why polyunsaturated vegetable oils are not healthy:

Here's a bit on healthy cooking oils:

I'd use ghee or coconut oil, and avocado oil sounds really (good) interesting as kayb mentioned!
