Do not heat Olive oil as it has a low smoke point…add olive oil to foods immediately after cooking.

One of my favorites to cook with is Sesame Seed Oil as it has a high ‘smoke point’ making it good oil to cook with.

The Myth about Coconut Oil. For decades it was considered bad because it is saturated oil which is said to raise blood cholesterol and cause heart disease. This idea was based on a study done 40 years ago that used ‘hydrogenated coconut oil.’

In tropical climates like Polynesia, Sri Lanka and the Yucatan where they have a diet high in coconut oil, the people are healthier, have less heart disease, cancer and colon problems than unsaturated fat eaters. It is now accepted that there is good cholesterol and there are good saturated fats.

The above is from a article I wrote for ‘Feeling Great’ magazine. http://www.holistic-health-solutions.com or

Yes I agree! Omega 3 is a great antioxidant that wards off things that makes your health rusty and unclean. So enjoy a food rich in Omega-3! Things will never be the same again!

Too many web sites are promoting coconut oil, palm oil and soy bean oil. All of these oils will eventually harm you. I only use olive and grape seed oil. I do not use saturated oils, butters, margarines, Trans fats (hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils), any processed soy product, and vegetable oils like cotton seed, corn, and canola. Three years ago I switched to olive and grape seed oil. It has made such a change to my body, it lowered my total cholesterol over 100 points and I do not eat oat meal or take meds. My blood pressure is now 60 over 105 it was 90 over 135. I now have a pulse of 58. I am over 40 years old. My doctor is baffled how I achieved this with out meds. I mostly eat egg whites, chicken, turkey, lean pork, some fish – not too much because of mercury, vegetables, fruits, rice, home made bread, and my favorite chocolate peanut butter muffins only sweetened with apple sauce! I avoid eating out, you cannot control what’s in that food. I do not eat deli meats, hot dogs, and bacon, all have high sodium and nitrates that can cause colon and prostate cancers. I do not eat soy products because they cause hormone issues and inflammation of arteries around the heart. I also do not drink tap water because it contains chlorine and high amounts of iron which can be harmful if you have hemochromotosis – genetic disorder that goes undetected by most doctors in the U.S. that makes the body store too much iron and will eventually kill you by the time your in your 50’s and is usually misdiagnosed as either a heart attach or liver cancer

Great post. Fat (not the bad kind is vital for good health – certain vitamins can’t even be absorbed without it.
