High Cholesterol, Saturated or unstaturated oil for cooking?

Hate to break this to you but all this time, cooking with vegetable oil was a fallacy the general public was fed. Let's explore this a little! Saturated fat, a solid fat, is the most stable fat therefore it does not break down as easily. For cooking, this is a great feature to look for. The best saturated fat is the animal fat from a pasture raised mammal that eats the type of food nature intended for it! If that is not an option, then coconut oil is the next best option. As for olive oil or grape seed oil, they are great over your salad or when cooked at a super low temperatures.

Seek the right advice from the right expert- your PCP is an MD trained in medication and not nutrition. What you hear in the media has gone through many filters most of which is not intended to check for the accuracy of information but rather some company or entity's gain. Use the internet to educate and empower yourself and question all that you hear.

Next time you go shopping, look for the solid oil to cook and start seeing an improvement in your over health soon after.
