Of Saturated Fat And 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.

World renowned cardiologists and scientists have been voicing out that there are a lot of healthy oils, just not the ones we used to know. Whether we should use a non stick cooking liner or not depends on which kinds of fat we are using for cooking. Not all oils are created equal for the vegetarians and vegans, but there are vegan friendly stuff in this list as well.

Ghee, an animal fat, is used for ayurvedic cooking. Rich in vitamins A, K2, and D, it also contains conjugated linoleic acid that protects us against diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. If you are sensitive to dairy products, this might be your best friend because the milk solids in ghee have already been removed, depending on how sensitive you are.

Not surprising for the already enlightened, but the deal with grassfed butter is that we learned the wrong things about it. That means that yes, butter is good for the health, as it has already been disproven that saturated fats, poor cardiovascular health, and cholesterol have anything to do with each other. With a smoke point ranging from 325 to 375 degrees, butter is best cooked under low heat.

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.

Of course, the famous olive oil is probably the king of good fats. It does not only keep your heart fine and dandy but also has loads of antioxidants and contains anti inflammatory properties. The catch is that so many opportunistic vendors mix olive oil with cheap vegetable fats, so just make sure you buy from reliable 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.

Contrary to the popular notion, soybean and vegetable oils are actually harmful. Because they contain more than fifty percent of omega 6, it can cause inflammation and health problems. They are also high in trypsin inhibitors and phytic acid, blocking the absorption of minerals, proteins, and vitamins our body needs. Furthermore, it can cause hormonal imbalance and increase the risk of cancer.

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.
