Between Oils And The Non Stick Cooking Liner

You might be very familiar with the cholesterol equals heart attack school of thought. But that has long been debunked and there is no correlation between cholesterol and heart disease. The real culprits are oxidative stress and inflammation.

World renowned cardiologists and scientists have been voicing out that there are a lot of healthy oils, just not the ones we used to know. Whether we should use a non stick cooking liner or not depends on which kinds of fat we are using for cooking. Not all oils are created equal for the vegetarians and vegans, but there are vegan friendly stuff in this list as well.

Ghee, an animal fat, is used for ayurvedic cooking. Rich in vitamins A, K2, and D, it also contains conjugated linoleic acid that protects us against diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. If you are sensitive to dairy products, this might be your best friend because the milk solids in ghee have already been removed, depending on how sensitive you are.

Say yes to butter again as it provides the cholesterol needed for our brain to work well and to protect against inflammation. Lack of cholesterol can cause memory loss and other problems with the brain. Organic raw grassfed butter is best, and is recommended to be heated in low temperature as it has a smoke point of 325 to 375 degrees.

Coconut fat is great whether it is unrefined, raw, or virgin. For weight conscious people, coconut oil does not only help with your heart but it also aids in weight loss. If you are doubtful, know that it contains substances that fix a messed up metabolism.

Of course, the famous olive oil is probably the king of good fats. It does not only keep your heart fine and dandy but also has loads of antioxidants and contains anti inflammatory properties. The catch is that so many opportunistic vendors mix olive oil with cheap vegetable fats, so just make sure you buy from reliable sellers.

Another wonderful addition is palm fats, although deforestation has been a problem due to palm oil plantations, so give it a no if you are an environmentalist or buy sustainably sourced ones. Avocado fat can be beneficial if consumed just sparingly. And if there are healthy fats, there are also nasty ones.

Contrary to the popular notion, soybean and vegetable oils are actually harmful. Because they contain more than fifty percent of omega 6, it can cause inflammation and health problems. They are also high in trypsin inhibitors and phytic acid, blocking the absorption of minerals, proteins, and vitamins our body needs. Furthermore, it can cause hormonal imbalance and increase the risk of cancer.

Grapeseed oil is another shocker when it comes to bad fats. The supposed benefits of grapeseed based on the cholesterol myth, so expect it to be unhealthy instead of the proclaimed opposite. It has seventy percent omega 6 fatty acids and can lead to autoimmune illnesses, not just heart disease and cancer. Canola and rapeseed should also be avoided as it is genetically modified and are prone to oxidation when heated, and can be carcinogenic.
