Here I wish to get myself sued! I will name products that are giving false impression of being nutritious.
Oh sue me please "Big Evil Food Companies" I want publicity!!
But I don't wish to be just a cynic, I want to applaud the products that can't get endorsement by nutritionists because they contain natural amounts of fat. These products are the unrewarded health products that bravely fight for space on your supermarket shelves so dominated by highly processed low fat high sugar counterfeits!
NB: No money changed hands creating this list!

Philip: you like things black and white!
All vegetable oils and animal fats have a place in our diet, but obviously it is how these oils are used, prepared and consumed that is crucial.
The best advice I can give is stick to stable oils like butter, gee, tallow and virgin olive oil for cooking. These oils are generally unprocessed, and contain many natural nutrients.
Unsaturated oils which are low in antioxidants should never be used for cooking, these include flax-seed oil, canola oil etc.
Some oils I suggest you avoid are:
Sunflower oil, canola oil and soybean oil from supermarket shelves. These oils are usually deodorised, and may be rancid, and also contain traces of hexane from the extraction process.
It is OK however to use expeller extracted versions of these oils if they are unprocessed and kept in opaque containers to reduce rancidity, however these oils are totally unsuitable for cooking, and should be consumed in moderation.
Avoid all margarines as these are also highly refined, and contain many unnatural chemicals.
Generally avoid highly unsaturated oils that contain high levels of Omega 6 (linoleic acid). This generally means soybean oil and corn oil. However expeller extracted sesame oil is an exception as it is so high in antioxidants.
To answer your question exactly:
Good Cooking Oils
Gee
Tallow/Dripping
Virgin Olive Oil (shallow frying only)
Coconut oil (not hydrogenated/hardened)
Palm oil (not hydrogenated/hardened)
Moderately OK in cooking (mix with above)
Peanut oil (expeller extracted)
Sesame Oil (expeller extracted)
Bad Cooking Oils
Canola oil
Soybean oil
grapeseed oil
corn oil
margarine
light olive oil
Good Salad oils (all expeller extracted)
Virgin Olive oil
Avocado Oil
The following oils can be used/added in moderation to salad dressings:
unrefined canola oil
unrefined sunflower oil
Flax-seed oil
Bad Salad oils (most supermarket oils)
refined canola oil
refined sunflower oil
refined soybean oil
light olive oil
any refined unsaturated vegetable oil
Good Omega 3 supplements
Cod Liver oil (non fortified) - 1 tablespoon daily
Expeller extracted Flax-seed oil - 1 teaspoon daily
Expeller extracted Almond oil - 1-2 teaspoons daily
Good Spreads on bread
Butter
Ripe Avocado
Virgin Coconut oil
Virgin Olive oil (mix with butter or coconut oil to make a solid spread) |
