The oils they tolds us not to use turned out to be the healthiest. Becuase less proccesing is involved and they are either nuetrel or actually beneificial to good health. example extra virgen olive oil and butter are two example of healthy oils.

Your Cooking Oils - Healthy vs Unhealthy (the truth may surprise you!)
Today, I wanted to give you my take on a confusing subject to most people:
...why some oils you may use in cooking, baking, or other food use are actually harmful to your body, and why some are healthful.
Here's the deal...
A lot of people seem to think that anything labeled as "vegetable oil" is good for you. NOT A SHOT!
Most of what is labeled as "vegetable oil" is simply heavily refined soybean oil (processed under high heat, pressure, and industrial solvents)... sometimes perhaps it may also be heavily refined cottonseed, safflower, grapeseed, or other oils too.
In most instances, almost all of these processed oils are NOT HEALTHY for you.

If you buy processed food or deep fried food, you can usually be certain that these unhealthy oils are used to prepare your foods (or worse, it may use hydrogenated versions of these oils... aka - trans fats!).
You may have even bought some of these oils for your own cooking or baking at home.
The problem with soybean oil, cottonseed oil, grapeseed oil, safflower oil, and other similar oils is that they are mostly composed of polyunsaturated fats which leaves them prone to oxidation and free radical production when exposed to heat and light.
Processed polyunsaturated oils are the most inflammatory inside our bodies because of their high reactivity to heat and light. This inflammation is what causes many of our internal problems such as heart disease, diabetes, and other degenerative diseases.
Note: It's ok if a polyunsaturated fat isn't processed such as in whole foods like various nuts and seeds... In that case it's not inflammatory, and is a great source of healthy polyunsaturated fats for you. By the way, omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are both polyunsaturates.
However, all of the vegetable oils listed above are generally heavily refined during processing, so that makes them already inflammatory before you even cook with them (which does even more damage).
Here's the actual order of stability of a type of fat under heat and light (from least stable to most stable):
1. polyunsaturated
2. monounsaturated
3. saturated
Here's something that mainstream health professionals will never tell you...
Saturated fats are actually the healthiest oils to cook with!
Why? Because they are much more stable and less inflammatory than polyunsaturated oils.
This is why tropical oils such as palm and coconut oils are best for cooking... they have very little polyunsaturates and are mostly composed of natural saturated fats which are the least reactive to heat/light and therefore the least inflammatory in your body from cooking use.
That's also why natural butter (NOT margarine) is one of the best fats for cooking. This all goes directly against what you hear in mainstream health talk... because most health professionals don't truly understand the biochemistry of fats, and falsely believe that saturated fats are bad for you... when in fact, they are actually neutral in most instances... and saturated fats from tropical oils are actually good for you as they contain mostly medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) which are lacking in most people's diets.
In fact, lauric acid is one of the abundant MCTs in tropical oils and is known to strengthen the immune system. Lauric acid is even being studied currently in medical studies for controlling contagious diseases.
To summarize... your best cooking or baking fats are generally butter or tropical oils. Olive oil is ok for lower cooking temps as it's mostly monounsaturated, so moderately stable. The polyunsaturated oils like soybean, grapeseed, cottonseed, safflower, etc, are the least healthy for cooking.
My choices for top oils that I use:
-Virgin Coconut Oil
-Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-Real Butter (grass fed if possible)
Of course, with all of that said... we should keep in mind that trying minimize our cooking with oils can help to reduce overall calories. Cooking with oils in moderation is ok and can actually help satisfy your appetite more, but be careful not to overdo it as the calories can add up fast.
Here's a related article about good trans fats vs. bad trans fats that I did previously (an eye opener to most people)...
I'll be back soon with more Lean-Body Secrets. Til then...
Don't be lazy... be lean.

Very interesting. I try and make sure I stay away from hydrogenated oils, but sometimes the foods with those just tast better.

[kingpole]

Healthy oils make your dick bigger, I have no proof of this, but I bet it is true. Imflamation from these bad (vegtable oils, margerine,trana fat hydrogenated) cooking oils get lodged in the blood vessels and tissues of your dick. One of the many solutions to ED is anti oxcidants, anti oxidants clear the dibre from the tiny arterioles and capilaries. These oils the healthy ones, Extra virgen olive oil, real unsalted butter, virgin cocnutt oil, raw olives, natural peanut butter, raw nuts are anti oxidants and lower cholesterol. High cholesterol clogs your dick causing ED and perhaps even keeping it from growing properly due to sclerosing and clogging.

If these healthy oils are un clogging your dick they are also unclogging the small arteries of your heart, this is good news.

I cook eggs in the morning with a pat of butter would that eventually affect my erections? I drink a lot of green and black tea too. Would the anti-oxidants in the tea offset that?

Oh what about peanut oil? I fry food every once in while with peanut oil.

As long as you don't eat a whole cube of butter you should be fine. It is the vegtable oils and crisco, margerines you got to watch out for. Green tea and black tea offset a lot of harmful things.

Awsome!! I love tea!

No advertising telemarketing on the gym please.

I've always used either olive oil, or coconut oil as my preferred cooking oil. They make roasted veggies taste amazing...

but yeah, all those hydrogenated oils are full of trans fats...which are not good for you at al.

I mix virgen olive oil with organic coconut oil. Also like to use chili sesseme oil.
