To Oil Or Not To Oil With 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.

Ghee is an animal oil that is rich in conjugated linoleic acid that serves as protection against type two diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Common in ayurvedic dishes, it is also loaded with vitamins D, A, and K. Because of the removal of its milk solids, it is usually well tolerated by people who have lactose sensitivities.

Say yes to butter again as it provides the cholesterol needed for our brain to work well and to protect against inflammation. Lack of cholesterol can cause memory loss and other problems with the brain. Organic raw grassfed butter is best, and is recommended to be heated in low temperature as it has a smoke point of 325 to 375 degrees.

Coconut fat does not only give your food its sweet disposition and flavor, it also fixes the faulty metabolism. If you want to lose weight and boost the health of your skin, this could be your best choice. You can have virgin, unrefined, refined, or raw coconut fat.

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.

Canola and grapeseed fats must be avoided. With seventy percent level of omega 6, they lead to inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and of course, coronary heart disease. Most of them are also genetically modified and have higher oxidation levels when they are heated, and that means a higher risk of cancer.
