I was recently watching a reality show and on the kitchen counter I noticed there was vegetable oil. It reminded me that I often see olive oil being used in healthy recipes even when baking at high temperatures. I have come to the conclusion that some use bad oils and some misuse good oils.
Some oils can be really harmful to your health. Canola oil is being used by most restaurants, but people are becoming more and more aware that it is damaging to the immune system. 90% of canola oil is genetically modified and it can lead to inflammation, heart disease, liver and kidney issues.
Every oil has a heating point. Olive oil produces carcinogens when heated beyond it’s smoking point of 325 degrees. Coconut oil is not recommended to be used beyond 350 degrees. Avocado oil can be used up to 500 degree high heat which makes it a versatile all purpose cooking oil.
Avoid using vegetable oils and opt for healthier options like olive oil, coconut oil and avocado oil, but do not use them beyond their heating point.
