My previous post was about healthy oils but the content was about fats. So how is this related to the title?
Well, in my research, I wanted to see how the fats in the oil helps in maintaining good health. So what is the judgement?
Olive oil - good for salads, pan fry or light cooking with medium to low heat. Low poly-unsaturated fat content. High mono-unsaturated fat. So low to medium heat will not change the fat into trans fat. But high heat will.
Virgin Coconut oil - good for salad, light cooking to deep frying. The hight saturated fat content doesn't make it turn into trans fat.
Canola oil - light cooking to deep frying. High mono-unsaturated fat, low poly-unsaturated. So good for cooking.
Flaxseed oil - high poly-unsaturated fat, low mono-unsaturated fat. Not recommended for cooking or any type of heat. Salad or directly taken only.
Safflower oil - high poly-unsaturated fat, low mono-unsaturated fat. Not recommended for cooking or any type of heat. Salad or directly taken only.
Grapeseed oil - high poly-unsaturated fat, low mono-unsaturated fat. Not recommended for cooking or any type of heat. Salad or directly taken only.
Palm oil - light cooking to deep frying. High mono-unsaturated fat, low poly-unsaturated. So good for cooking.
