Re: Cooking Oils
Hi Gloria,
Coconut Oil is not for cooking oil consumption. I would be interested in seeing any web information that says it is. It is extremely saturated fat, that would clog your arteries today, and kill you tomorrow. At room temperature it looks like Crisco. It has the consistency of Shortening.
I have several bottles of it with shampoos and skin cream as I was using it formerly as a topical skin beauty treatment. It is a very pure product made by Spectrum Naturals.
The best oils to use for cooking are those that wash very easily off your fingers and hands. Sesame Oil is the best. I also like Virgin Olive Oil that is actually good for you.
I use natural Sesame Oil (it never turns rancid), Toasted Sesame Oil (delicious flavor),
and 100% Pure Extra Virgin Olive Oil regularly. I also have Corn Oil on hand, but it is thicker and sticks to the fingers more.
An oil that doesn't cling or build up is best outside and inside.
Don't go along with any fads, but think independently.
Hope this helps,
Nancy
