Of Saturated Fat And The Non Stick Cooking Liner

By Young Lindsay


You might be very familiar with the cholesterol equals heart attack school of thought. But that has long been debunked and there is no correlation between cholesterol and heart disease. The real culprits are oxidative stress and inflammation.

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.

The animal fat ghee is rich in fat soluble vitamins such as A, D, and K2, and is a common ingredient in ayurvedic cuisine. Its milk solids are removed, so it can be safe for people who have dairy sensitivities. For that same reason, it can be used at higher temperature and has a smoke point of 425 to 480 degrees. It can also protect your body against heart disease, diabetes, and cancer as it has CLA or conjugated linoleic acid.

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.

Coconut fat is great whether it is unrefined, raw, or virgin. For weight conscious people, coconut oil does not only help with your heart but it also aids in weight loss. If you are doubtful, know that it contains substances that fix a messed up metabolism.

Pure olive oil is also a haven of anti inflammatory ingredients and antioxidants. It has a smoke range between 320 to 350 degrees, which is ideal for cold dishes or low heat cooking. Just make sure that your bottle of olive goodness is legit, as there are many fake labels screaming one hundred percent pure olive when it has actually been mixed with cheap vegetable oils. Get them from trustworthy sellers.

Another wonderful addition is palm fats, although deforestation has been a problem due to palm oil plantations, so give it a no if you are an environmentalist or buy sustainably sourced ones. Avocado fat can be beneficial if consumed just sparingly. And if there are healthy fats, there are also nasty ones.

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.

Other top of the worst fats are grapeseed and canola. Because they are created and marketed based on the false lipid hypothesis, you should expect that the positive advertising is simply not true. Instead, they cause autoimmune disorders, cancer, and heart disease directly as a result of the high amounts of omega 6 fatty acids they contain, the tendency to oxidate and become carcinogenic, and their genetically modified content.
