Oil Rancidity - Why You Must Stay Away From Polyunsaturated Oils

[FathomlessJoy]

Excellent vid. Thank you! As I learn how to cook, and eat more raw fruits and veggies, I see I don't need oil at all. I do use coconut occassionally, but very sparringly.

As to your question, we should be more mindful of using senthetic fertilizer on our lawns. Who knows what chemicals are *really* in that bag you bought from Home Depot?? I take vegetable rinds and trimmed fruit pieces (apple cores, banana peels, etc) and throw them out in my lawn in the fall/winter for TONS of real nutrients!

@FathomlessJoy thanks for sharing your thoughts :) sounds like you should check out my husband's channel on organic gardening - smilinggardener :)

from what ive learnt from dr.Ray peat Its a good idea to stay away from any polyunsaturated fats! best fats choices: coconut oil, cacao butter, butter, cream and raw organic dairy.. Thos fats do contains small amounts of polys but Are Maily Saturated so dont harm us! i know it sounds different from what most gurus advice.. but do your own readings.. u'll come to same conclusion! all d best!!

[tripudium17]

what about cold pressed vs. otherwise. I have heard talk that cold pressed virgin olive oil is better than other types.

[healthyvegan]

@tripudium17 cold pressed is good, but there's no regulation as to what it means exactly. some brands will tell you the temp they use, which is great

No mention of omega 3 from fish or seafood? It's a much better source.

[1sashacat]

Also, omega 3 from plant sources aren't as good as the omega 3 from seafood because of dha and ara.

The mainstream polyunsaturated oils are gross and add nothing to a dish. They taste awful and make the food taste greasy. What is the freaking point of them? I use olive oil for drizzling and fry in ghee, goose fat, dripping or butter. I have just bought some extra virgin coconut oil over the internet as you cannot get it in stores here. A shame as it has a beautiful taste.

[ganjaking187]

Peace

@ganjaking187 olive, coconut and sesame are ok - those are the only 3 I use, and I use them very sparingly :)

[jimmyjohnson691]

alot of chinese people cook in poly oil and they healthy

you have a boyfriend? crazy lady?

[healthyvegan]

@jimmyjohnson691 if someone's healthy overall, their body can handle some toxins. There also might be a difference in the amount, type and quality of polyunsaturated oils used in China. Health gets to be a very complicated topic ;) and I'm married - to someone almost as crazy as I am :)

[jimmyjohnson691]

dang

[cdnp4p]

@jimmyjohnson691 Chinese people are not as healthy as they once were. Their health is declining. Plus, they eat a hell of alot more REAL food than us. They eat organ meats, bone broths, eat alot of vegetables, eat less processed, refined garbage. They eat alot more meals at home etc.

[90Rush]

@jimmyjohnson691 We Chinese don't cook intensely with oil. A lot of our food is steamed or boiled; in fact, most pan-fried or stir fried food is actually braised (except for fried eggs).

Still, I had serious hair loss problem when using polyunsaturated oils. It's gone after I started using coconut oil and olive oil.

[Slatrelle]

Hemp oil is the best

[healthyvegan]

@Slatrelle definitely shouldn't be heated though :)

[Slatrelle]

@healthyvegan Thank you for the Info, I do keep mine in the fridge so I guess I'm good! I also subbed!

[healthyvegan]

@Slatrelle sweet, thanks! :)

[ganjaking187]

@Slatrelle yeah thats what i use hemp is always the way to go, hard to find though.

I've been using Grapeseed oil for 'bout five months and I've noticed a decrease in my physical health because I found out that my oil has gone rancid (after buying a new bottle and finding a taste differential).

Which oils would you recommend? I've been looking online and researching different oils to consume, and I'm leaning to buy some cold pressed avocado oil. (I consume freshly ground flaxseed oil and linseed oil daily). I'd be using it to stir fry my rice in the evening, eggs in morning.

[healthyvegan]

@Circle4 I go with coconut, olive or sesame (the untoasted for cooking) - all extra-virgin, unrefined and cold-pressed if possible. If you sign up for the 7 lessons I put together (free sign up with email), one of the 7 lessons is dedicated entirely to oils - which types to choose, why, and how to minimize the toxic effects when cooking. healthy eating starts here dot com slash success. Avocado oil would be fine I think, I choose the others because they're easier to find & cheaper ;)

[Circle4]

@healthyvegan Haha I do have to admit the healthy avocado oil was a bit hard to find here in Ontario. Additionally, because I do enjoy your videos I've decided to finally join an email subscription, thanks again!

[healthyvegan]

@Circle4 awesome, thanks for subscribing :)

[lizsy775]

I have extra virgin coconut oil and on the bottle it says its raw and cold-pressed is that good or should I avoid it ?

[healthyvegan]

@lizsy775 coconut oil is a saturated fat - not polyunsaturated - so it's a much better choice for oil. It's still an oil, so you should keep it in moderation, but when I do use a bit of oil I use extra-virgin unrefined coconut or olive or sesame oil. Doesn't mean you have to totally avoid oils, just choose the right ones and use them mindfully :)

[thestreetsempty]

I read that olive oil is mostly monosaturated fat, but contains 2g polyunsatured. Some people say to eat oil raw and it will be fine. But it's important to remember that oil technically does "cook" in your body. Soy oil is typically called vegetable oil. Just stay away from non-fermented soy as a rule when consuming soy products. And try to use more of the food's natural juice than oils.

[veganheart1]

So would olive oil be a polyunsaturated oil as well? I think if I remember correctly it is a monounsaturated oil but I could be wrong.

[healthyvegan]

@veganheart1 @thestreetsempty Yes, olive oil is mostly monounsaturated - some poly. Most fats (and oils) are a mix of poly, mono and saturated fats, but they're classified on what the majority of the fat type is. In my opinion, it's always better to use whole foods than oils (for rancidity as well as balance). After that, go with as close to whole as possible, even with saturated or monoun. Minimize the heat, light and air your fats see - through processing, storing & in cooking.

[veganheart1]

@healthyvegan Oh okay, thanks for all the info! :) One more thing, so do oils go rancid before the expiration date then? (I'm assuming they do?)

[healthyvegan]

@veganheart1 yeah, the rancidity happens right away when the oil is exposed to heat, light & air - so during the processing stage. It will get more rancid after that, the longer it sits as an oil. I'm not sure what the expiration date means exactly ;)

[rui27marne]

shelled nuts and seeds are rancid too!!

[healthyvegan]

@rui27marne very true, they can be, and often are

Thanks for the video.
