Fat, Oil and Cooking Oil |
Are all saturated fats bad for you? Is it dangerous to heat olive oil? Which is better: polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fat? What type of cooking oil should we use?Fat, Oil and Cooking OilAre all saturated fats unhealthy? There is clear evidence that not all saturated fatty acids are created equal. However, that doesn’t mean you should start doubling up on the oil intake. “Some saturated fatty acids are still very much implicated, in particular, palmitic and myristic acid. So red meat is still a concern; choosing meats that are lean, with relatively low saturated fat content is the way to go.But still, what oil should we use to cook our food? One good option is Cocounut oil. Coconut oil has a unique role in the diet as an important physiologically functional food. The health and nutritional benefits that can be derived from consuming coconut oil have been recognized in many parts of the world for centuries. According to a researcher "Fife", Coconut oil is a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) while most other fats, such as vegetable oils and animal fat, are long-chain triglycerides (LCTs). This can help lose weight. But coconut oil got a bad reputation. Why? Initially, the significance of those changes that occurred during animal feeding studies were misunderstood. The wrong interpretation was then repeated until ultimately the misinformation and disinformation took on a life of its own. According to Western A Price, the problems for coconut oil started 4 decades ago when researchers fed animals hydrogenated coconut oil that was purposefully altered to make it completely devoid of any essential fatty acids. The hydrogenated coconut oil was selected instead of hydrogenated cottonseed, corn or soybean oil because it was a soft enough fat for blending into diets due to the presence of the lower melting medium chain saturated fatty acids. Well, other cooking oils that are good to use are Sesame Seed Oil and Olive Oil. Forget Mazola or Sunflower Seed oil. Those are modified and unnatural. Most people think they are healthy because they do not have the fatty saturated acids, but then again, our natural human bodies can process saturated fat but cannot process the modified fats found in Mazola and Sunflower Seed oil...
