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.

Because lipids are needed by the body for the brain to function well, it has now become confusing as to what type of oil is actually harmful. People have been avoiding cooking with oil and using non stick cooking liner. But there are many oils that are actually great for your body, it is just that we got it all wrong when the mainstream media fed us with the cholesterol myth.

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.

There is controversy surrounding the destruction of rainforests due to palm fat plantations, but palm oils are great for your health. Make sure that your sources of palm butter are sustainable so you do not support deforestation. Avocado fats are also beneficial if they are used to the minimum.

Surprise, surprise, but vegetable, corn, and soybean fats are the culprits in health issues. Ninety four percent of them are genetically modified, but even if they are non GMO, more than half of its content is omega 6, which is the leading cause of inflammation and further health issues. They are also concentrated in phytic adcid and trypsin inhibitors, which can cause a disturbance in normal hormone levels.

Grapeseed oil is another shocker when it comes to bad fats. The supposed benefits of grapeseed based on the cholesterol myth, so expect it to be unhealthy instead of the proclaimed opposite. It has seventy percent omega 6 fatty acids and can lead to autoimmune illnesses, not just heart disease and cancer. Canola and rapeseed should also be avoided as it is genetically modified and are prone to oxidation when heated, and can be carcinogenic.
