Seed oils are really bad for you!

Recently I found out that fried foods can spike up blood sugar. Never knew that as a pre diabetic I was only avoiding sugary and sweet foods.

Low in omega 6, corn oil, soy oil, vegetable oil,Canola oil, seseme oil, shortening, crisco inflammatory and very bad for you. So most oils we use to cook are not good for us. Olive oil is good but not heated

Better to cook in natural oil like coconut oil, lard, good quality avacado oil.

Coconut oil is high in saturated fat. I think it’s misleading that it’s now being treated like a health food. Any fat that is solid at room temperature is bad for cardiovascular health.

@SW-User That would be same for lard too right? Umm I don't know about health , isn't it warm inside our bodies?

@SW-User the unhealthyness of saturated fats on their own is actually highly debateable these days.

@MethDozer I mean, sometimes it seems like astrology is more of a science than nutrition. Things that were unhealthy a few years ago now aren’t (and vice versa) and it’s always in flux. Seed oils are the big bad right now but I don’t expect that to remain. Keto is very popular right now but I’ve read all kinds of conflicting studies about the healthiness of that diet.

I think our bodies are very different and this affects the ability to make objective statements about the healthiness of food. When my dad was diagnosed with heart disease and high cholesterol, he cut out saturated fats (and most oils as well) and his cholesterol plummeted to the extent that his doctor prescribed a lower dosage of cholesterol lowering medication because it wasn’t even necessary. This effect might not be repeatable in others.
