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.

Oils aren't what you need to worry about as pre-diabetic. Fried foods spike blood sugar because of the carbohydrates. Carbs are what make sugary foods so dangerous as well. It's not sugar diabetics need to worry about - it's carbs in the form of sugar and other things. A number of studies have shown that consumption of vegetable oils may improve diabetes complications including inflammatory response and oxidative stress, but no study has been done on the effects of canola oil and olive oil consumption in patients with type 2 diabetes.

There are healthier oils that others (olive oil is actually a fine cooking oil. In fact, extra virgin olive oil is the most stable oil to cook with and can be heated as high as 400℉). But the oils we use are in tiny amounts - nothing in that quantity is going to do much harm or good. Carbs are essential to healthy human life, but not all carbs are created equal.
