Today I want to share with you my take on a confusing subject:
... why some oils and fats you may use in cooking, baking, or
other food use are actually harmful to your body, and why
some are healthful (http://alturl.com/bciz).

Here's the deal...

A lot of people seem to think that anything labeled as
"vegetable oil" is good for you. NOT A SHOT!

Most of what is labeled as "vegetable oil" is simply heavily
refined soybean oil (processed under high heat, pressure, and
industrial solvents)... sometimes perhaps it may also be heavily
refined cottonseed, safflower, corn, grapeseed, or other oils too.

In most instances, almost all of these processed oils are
NOT HEALTHY for us.

The problem with soybean oil, cottonseed oil, corn oil,
grapeseed oil, safflower oil, and other similar oils is that
they are mostly composed of polyunsaturated fats which leaves
them prone to oxidation and free radical production when exposed
to heat and light.

Here's something that mainstream health professionals will never
tell you...

Saturated ...
... fats are actually the healthiest oils to cook with!

Why? Because they are much more stable and less inflammatory than
polyunsaturated oils.

This is why tropical oils such as palm and coconut oils are best for
cooking... they have very little polyunsaturates and are mostly
composed of natural saturated fats which are the least reactive
to heat/light and therefore the least inflammatory in your body
from cooking use.

That's also why natural butter (NOT margarine) is one of the best
fats for cooking.

To summarize... your best cooking or baking fats are generally
butter or tropical oils such as palm or coconut oil. Olive oil
(extra virgin preferably) is ok for lower cooking temps as it's
mostly monounsaturated, so moderately stable.
The mostly polyunsaturated oils such as soybean, grapeseed,
cottonseed, safflower, etc, are the least healthy for cooking or
baking.
