Healthy Cooking Oils that Don't Easily Rot
|
The healthy cooking oils that won't easily rot are composed mainly of Saturated Fatty Acids (SaFA). That's a fact! And in the world of cooking oils, nothing can match the greatness of highly saturated coconut oil.
If you're cooking with polyunsaturated vegetable oils such as soy and corn, then you are exposing your health to disaster.
Cooking oils primarily made of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) are extremely prone to oxidation (getting rancid) and free-radical formation.
Polyunsaturated oils are so sensitive, they rot just sitting around in your kitchen.
Don't Cook with Unsaturated Oils
As they rot just like that, polyunsaturated oils generate huge quantities of harmful free radicals that weaken your cells. Researchers have identified several dozens of common health problems associated with free-radical degeneration like stroke, diabetes, kidney stones, heart disease, arthritis and cancer, just to name a few.
Even olive oil, a good monounsaturated fat well-known for its health benefits is notably perishable. It's not as weak as polyunsaturated fats. But due to its vast amounts of Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA), cooking makes extra virgin olive oil vulnerable to decomposition. In fact, even when used cold, it's still exceedingly unstable.
Coconut Oil: The Best for Cooking
Saturated fats such as coconut oil are the healthy cooking oils you should cook with. Soybean oil, canola oil, sunflower oil and all other unsaturated fats pale in comparison to the durability and reliability of saturated fats.
Coconut oil can withstand oxidative damage pretty well. Simply put, it will not rot easily! Not at all. Unlike most all other oils, it can be heated and re-heated without creating destructive free radicals. It's so stable, coconut oil acts as an antioxidant!
Dr. Rudi Moerck, a drug industry insider and an expert on fats and oils, has this to say:
Cook and Heal
Plus, you also get to benefit from the awesome antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic and antiprotozoal properties of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) richly present in coconut oil.
With MCFA-packed coconut oil, you get to greatly minimize, if not eliminate, unnecessary free-radical production. And you also get to boost your immune system, capable of killing even the AIDS and SARS viruses. What other cooking oil can do that?
