I stick to olive oil 95%.

Well, I have commented that I shifted my diet about six months ago to the paleo type, as much as possible, to 90 percent oils and proteins, and 10 percent carbs (hard to enforce because they put so much sugar in everything processed). No more canola (or margarine), only olive oil, no refined wheat, and of course, no cookies, candies, cakes, pies, etc. etc, only unsweetened yogurt. Any sugar is from fruits and vegetables. Avoid all pricessed foods, maybe a bit of cracked wheat bread, sourdough, small corn tortilla, dirty rice or wheat pasta at dinner.

Along with melatonin a couple of times a week and 10K units of Vit. D per day, I have lost about 3 pounds a month. I don't diet at all in the sense of depriving myself of portions or amounts. My raw caloric intake is not that low. However, my appetite for food does seem to have gone an a more even keel, I just eat and stop after a modest portion, don't just keep eating.

I also started growing denser hair, and hair in places where it had been lost. My conclusion is the diet paranoids are correct in at least some things, because some food or food combinations that I gave up inhibited hormones and caused fat accumulation. I don't have a differential on which items are responsible, i am just glad I found out at least a partial path through the 'food fuck' that is leveled at the populace.

My conclusion has been there is definitely fuckaceousness going on with the food supplies. It makes sense, because how would a psychopath attack with passive non resistance except in food, water and air. Death Vaxes are just a less messy covert form of bullets.

My friend who does study diet stuff says Canola is bad, and seed oils mostly bad. The three oils that are supposed to be best are olive, avocado, and coconut, with olive being the least expensive.

The Olive Oil Scam: If 80% Is Fake, Why Do You Keep Buying It?
“Much of the extra virgin Italian olive oil flooding the world’s market shelves is neither Italian, nor virgin,” the New York Times warns.
So unless you bought it directly from a producer or a certified distributor, the olive oil in your kitchen marked “Italian extra virgin” is very probably a fake. Either it's low quality falsely marked as virgin or extra-virgin - and not even from Italy - or it's been mixed with other oils of dubious provenance. At worst, it's not olive oil at all but a vegetable oil disguised with coloring and aroma.

Yet, you bought it despite the fact that its low price should have tipped you off.

I saw a post - didn't save - that a brand marketed as using Peanut Oil had "Cottonseed and/or Peanut Oil" on the ingredient list.

Seed Oils exploded 90% in the 1990s.

I'm so old I remember when they insisted Margarine was healthier than Butter.

People were thinner when the top oils/fats were butter and lard.

More olive farms coming. As US-based Olive Oil, they are required to be 100% pure. It's the European shit that's adulterated because EU rules created by Italy and Spain allow them to blend oils, including from North Africa, and both those countries are infamous for adulterated olive oil.

Be sure it's single source and not a "Blend".

Also, don't buy EU Butter. There's special secret treatment for certain countries that makes their higher-cost-of-operation butter cheaper after being shipped to the US from the EU, something like the way Electronics were more expensive in Japan than in the US for many decades.

From what I understand, never cook with oils, cook with fats (butter, lard, bacon grease).

Learn about MUFA vs. PUFA oils. The only good oil is olive (extra virgin) from Italy, but don't cook with it just put it in salads. Beware, most olive oils contain a large amount of canola.

I've done the Gundry eating diet. He's a little weird, but I think he's on to something. Basically bail on everything derived from seeds and sugar.

People are like chickens

I'd recommend you pick up some ghee.

It's clarified butter. Basically, if you take butter, heat it up, on the bottom you end up with water, and at the top you end up with some other stuff (not sure what it is..) and the center of it is just pure milk fat.

It's about the same price as butter, and a little goes a long way. I keep mine in the fridge and have to scrape it out - it's like wax. You CAN just store this in a cupboard. but I have an OCD condition (I guess) that anything I open goes into the fridge - barring things like spices.

You're joking I know, but you can seriously cook food in engine oil (clean engine oil) and not die or even get sick!

I'm not recommending you do this, I'm just letting you know, because I found that interesting.

I'd also caution you about doing this, because who knows what additives were placed into the oil, but petroleum is edible. Isn't that amazing?

I no longer have any faith that the FDA enforces any rule, certainly not any rule which actually benefits the public.

The FDA is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Pfizer-mafia cartel and acts solely to maximize profits for its owners by recommending or even mandating that you use their products.

I saw somebody on youtube deep frying chicken with it.

Don't do it though. Petroleum is edible, but don't do it.

They also didn't find the chicken to be entirely pleasant either. It was edible, but I'd stick to more common fats and oils.

Patrick says

The FDA is controlled by the corporate interests in both the food and drug industries. It's the FDA that approves all the carcinogenic
chemicals in our foods, along with excessive amounts of fat, salt and sugar, all of which contributes greatly to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc.

If the FDA 'approves' something, you can bet your bottom dollar that their approval is based upon 'studies' that were paid for by the very industries that they are supposed to be regulating.

All 'oil' should be used in very limited quantities (including butter, which is very high in fat). It has been proven through non-FDA, corporate corrupted sponsored studies that oil contributes to the formation of plaque in arteries, leading to heart disease, strokes, etc.

However, if you are going to use oils, the worst are soy, sunflower, safflower, canola, corn, cottonseed, refined palm, hydrogenated, ricebran & grapeseed. Also stay away from REFINED peanut, coconut & avocado oils.

AmericanKulak says

You actually believe that? That they have teams of enforcers inspecting all olive oil? BTW, the links you posted show olive oil that costs about $50 qt? Is this the olive oil that you think most people are using in their kitchens? I think its far, far, more common that they are using GREAT VALUE or MEMBERS MARK olive oil at less than $20 qt.

It’s actually not technically “edible” since that term implies that the body can digest it and gain sustenance from it. Petroleum-based oils are opposite chirality from organic oils. They are like mirror images of those oils, and so the enzymes we have to break down those oils into usable compounds don’t work.
Also the impurities in petroleum are toxic compounds like benzenes which are some of the most carcinogenic compounds we know about.

Don’t eat petroleum or any sort. You can survive eating it in small quantities, but it’s REALLY not good for you!

Oh and to weigh in on the OP, I use butter, lard, olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil. Of those, supposedly olive and avocado are the “healthiest.” But a healthy person without heart disease should feel comfortable eating any of those without trouble. I avoid canola oil in everything I can, but still get some in certain pre-made foods I occasionally eat, or in restaurant food. Restaurants almost always use the least expensive ingredients, and canola is super cheap, especially now that so many people are waking up to the fact that it is quite harmful to one’s cardiovascular health!

To date I haven't seen any study that suggests oils or fats per se are bad for the arteries. What is bad is resulting inflammation from certain oils (vegetable oils high in omega 6) which then causes oxidized cholesterol and plaque buildup. Also they aren't necessarily good or great for the heart, more like neutral. I also doubt that adulterated vs virgin olive oil has a significant impact on arteries. Sure virgin olive oil is likey overall healthier and tastes better, but the studies around oil have been inconclusive so far, with the exception of promotion of inflammation of many vegetables oils, which seems to be established at this point. The benefit of oils and fats lies more in preventing obesity by reducing appetite. The question is if occasional cooking with small amounts of vegetable oil or consuming processed food made with small amounts of vegetable oil has a significant impact. If you eat enough fresh food every day such as fruits and raw vegetables your intake of vegetable oils should not be that high.

I prefer a neutral flavored oil for cooking, one with no flavor at all.

Which one for example? Virgin olive oil can be quite flavorful (pugnant for those who don't like it, I like it). Also when it comes to cooking, if you use meat or other food containing fat, you hardly ever have to use oils, you can just use the fat. I guess I'm questioning how somebody can get a lot of harmful oils into their body without ordering Chinese take out or fried foods 24/7. How much oil is left in roasted nuts or chips? Can't be that much.

Also there is recent research that indicates that tricaprin, contained in/derived from mct/coconut oil, can significantly prevent and even reverse heart disease:

Read the labels on prepared, processed foods. That could be an enlightening experience. As far as restaurant foods, they do not have to disclose what the ingredients are. Also, all processed foods, including restaurants foods, typically have one thing in common; they contain a mixture of fat, salt and sugar which allows them to make a 'tasty' product with cheap ingredients. Fast food restaurants are notorious for this.

Right. Also it depends on the level of physical activity. If you are working a hards ass job or run 5-10 miles per day, maybe paired with hiit or strength work, then carbs vs fats and a lot of other nutritional stuff changes. Why? Simply because if you deplete all the carbs you ingest they can't be unhealthy as they are converted into atp/energy fairly soon after consumption (in fact you need more carbs then). Carbs are not bad per se, excess carbs are.

That is why a true auto mechanic reaches for a quart of the 10W40 rather than the 20 ounce Coke.

I also suspect that the news cycles about "this food is good" and "this food is bad" is just the various industries fighting it out via their PR agencies and their agents within the FDA.

Whatever the corporate news tells you should be assumed to have some large financial interest behind it.

When red wine was good for you, for example, it may have just been paid PR for the wine industry, which has quite a bit of money.

@Patrick palm kernel oil contains tricaprin, which according to latest studies not only protects, but reverses coronary artery / heart disease! It's not that easy to vilify all vegetable/fruit/seed oils. The science is always changing! In general palm, palm kernel, mct and coconut oils are considered heart healthy now.

I don't know that I trust any studies anymore though. If so many were rigged by pharma, a lot are probably rigged by some other industries too.

My brother knew a woman that totally avoided oil. She died of a heart attack in her early 50's. She was a marathon runner.

Your body tells you what to avoid. Listen to it.

Almost every positive 'study' that is produced is financed by corporations. It works in a similar way to the prosecution and the defense calling "experts" in order to testify in a trial. Both experts are hired by the different sides in order to provide the testimony that fits with their side. That's precisely why we keep seeing conflicting reports, all based upon 'independent studies.'

Trust NOTHING by the FDA, which is loaded with political appointments from the corporations.

Patrick says

I'm undecided about these:

- soybean oil
- sunflower seed oil
- avocado oil
- coconut oil
- peanut oil

Soy sauce as fine as long as it comes from a good source. Like most fermented foods. Sunflower is still a seed oil, avoid. Avocado is one of the best due to the higher cooking temp(doesn't hydrogenate so easily). Coconut has lots of good fat, and taste's great for cooking popcorn, or pancakes. I do use peanut for Asian dishes, only organic.

Olive oil should be extra virgin, and local, or not from Italy unless you know the distributor.

EVOO is not a do-it-all oil. If imported it is quite possibly adulterated so I only buy California grown. Olive oil also does not stand up to high heat so is not good for searing etc. I am using tallow and lard and some bacon fat for this purpose which I now think are healthy fats. I am convinced that whatever the Govt. is recommending is likely very dangerous and a safe bet is to do the opposite.

It depends on what the oils hydrogenation temperature is. As long as you stay under that, the oil will not get sludgy at room temp. That's why Avocado is one of the best.

Sure but this research is not FDA related or corporation sponsored, also medium chain fatty acids have been deemed healthy for quite a long time now.
