Of Saturated Fat And The Non Stick Cooking Liner

By Young Lindsay


Everyone is very well acquainted with the diet heart hypothesis, and if centuries before people have believed our planet is flat only to realize it is actually round, it is now time to bust that myth. Cholesterol has no correlation in causing heart disease. In fact, cholesterol is needed in brain functioning and using cholesterol reducing drugs can severely harm your brain and cause memory loss.

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.

Virgin, raw, or unrefined coconut fat does not only give your grubs a wonderful flavor, but it is also very healthy. It helps in weight loss, enhances your skin, and aid cardiovascular health. It is also known to aid in repairing your metabolism, and has a smoke point of 280 to 365 degrees.

The renowned olive oil will always be the classic good girl of fats. Not only does it have anti inflammatory substances, but it is also a great source of antioxidants and keeps the heart happy. The problem is that you have to examine if your olive oil is one hundred percent pure, as there are a lot of faux labels claiming such but they have actually been combined with vegetable fats. Make sure you get your olive fix from trustworthy markets.

Sustainably sourced palm oils are also great for the body, although you should be aware of the controversy surrounding the fact that a lot of palm oil plantations have been blamed for the obliteration of rainforests. Avocado fat can be used sparingly if you want its health benefits. But if you are asking which fats you should avoid, the list of bad oils is also surprising.

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.
