If you use it you may want to switch to something else....

I really hate these knee jerk 'studies'.

Two tablespoons per mouse per day for six months. That's a ton of oil for the size of the subject. Just about anything in large enough doses is going to be bad for us.

Like everything else, moderation, consideration, and definitely more studies needed for this particular new food crisis.

I made the mistake of buying it once, wasn't really paying attention to what I was grabbing off the store shelf. I used it once - I couldn't stand the smell of it once it started to heat up, threw the whole container away.

Unfortunately, to be healthy...there is no substitute.

All processed oils are extremely bad for us.

Even those oils from extra virgins (giggle).

Mic.The Vegan has a study/research based channel.

It’s a light-humored approach to food stuffs...and

he just released his oil video recently. Good stuff.

Really! A 6 month study on mice and a maze? Heck, I get lost in our big home, and I am a 17 year study living right here.

This makes a joke out money wasted on studies, 6 months on mice correlates to other studies done for decades on over a million humans. A LAUGHER TO ME!

I remember, way back, when canola oil was deemed to be the very best, healthy, choice.

Then it wasn't.

Now, I guess it is again.

I was never drawn to canola oil and avoided it all along. Something about it just never felt right to me jpersonally. Plus, it seemed kind of gross.

Wow- I use canola oil all the time. I make salad dressing that uses 2 cups of it. I am doomed. I always thought it was better for me than vegetable oil. Thanks for the info.

@TribestersWith all the good oils out there makes sense to switch....why take the risk .....even if some posters on this thread throw caution to the wind and make fun of it. Have a great night!🙂

I feel Oil Corp. has the same marketing team as Protein, Inc.

Oil is 100% fat...the most dense source of food calories.

Stunning to see how the Public has bought into this marketing.

Bottled oil is like refined table sugar.

Do people really think it’s a good idea to consume?

@sidsmom I understand what you are saying about oils VS the whole food source to get the good fats. I do not think America is ready to give up their OIL. Americans like their fried foods....😩. and when DR, OZ is pushing olive oil and other oils on his show, that does not help. That is why America is so fat. We eat terrible diets. I do not see this changing any time soon. 🙁 Sad but true.

An oil free low fat diet tastes like cardboard. Flavor is in the fat. So you increase the carbohydrates , increase your insulin and up goes your weight. There are two LDL's Type A LDL which accounts for about 80% . It has a neutral impact on heart disease. Small dense Type B LDL accounts for the other 20% which is driven by carbohydrates. Type B contributes to heart disease. We need to eat certain dietary fats for our nervous system and immune systems, cell membranes and to make hormones. So the choice is eat good fats in your diet or make bad ones in your liver.

@SeaMaiden

Sing it, sister!

I hope I don’t overstep but...along with the Oil Corp & Protein, Inc.

this marketing team has a new client...The “Good Fat” Firm.

With 40% of Americans being obese, we don’t need to add ‘good fats’.

Those fats are the major cause of diabetes, heart disease and

many other modern day ailments. It’s like trying to put out a house fire

with gasoline...and in this case, the house is our body. It confuses and

frustrates the Public when we try sooo hard to lose the fat but then

someone chirps in our ear to eat more ‘good’ fat.

Doesn’t make sense.

I know many people really want to get healthy...and trying so hard

without results....but just can’t get over this wall of mis-information.

@SeaMaiden@I hate all these studies..it’s good it’s bad.I never know what is in or out anymore.You think you are doing the best healthy cooking and you find out that you have been contributing to some horrible disease for your family.I really don’t think there is much left on the planet that is pure and healthy.

@Trinity11 Not a fat free diet... What @sidsmom and I are saying is just get your good nut and seed oils from the FOOD... not food made into oil. Eat the Avocado... eat the raw nuts.... eat the olives... get all those good fats.... just not eat the concentrated fats made into oil from the food... lacking all the fiber and antioxidants found in the flesh of the food....

Like drinking the juice of the fruit and not eating the fruit with all of its fiber, and antioxidates etc in the flesh of the whole food.

People have gotten away from food eaten the way our bodies know how to break it down.... when you consume these highly concentrated oils and juices rather than consume the FOOD source to get these nutrients... the body can not handle it well and problems arise.

Sidsmom posted there is fat in lettuce. I don't debate nutrition with her because she is a disciple of guru doctors that I fundamentally disagree with. One claims a 300 fasting blood sugar is fine and don't test because it might upset the patient.

I believe in individualized nutritition. Telling anyone that they should avoid eg. Olive oil without knowing their health history is reckless at best.

Every day...I’m amazed of the lack of knowledge so many

people have regarding nutrition. The one thing that can

literally keep you alive...or kill you.

How do people not know this information?

Every food have carbohydrate, fat, protein.

There is no such thing as a fat-free diet.

And yes, a head of iceberg lettuce is 8% fat & has 5 grams of protein.

And yes, oil is 100% fatty-fat....with no fiber or nutrition.

This information is out there for anyone to see.

It’s not rocket science.

Open a book.

So I put my lunch salad ingredients into Cronometer -

4 cups romaine (yes, I eat a large salad!)

red bell pepper

carrot

celery

Fuji apple

fat free mango coconut pepper dressing

Huh, just from this salad I got 20% of my Omega 3 requirement for the entire day.

After I put in my early morning smoothie (before gym)

1/2 banana

1/2 cup blueberries

1/4 mango

1 tbspn. flaxseed

1 cup spinach

1 cup almond/cashew milk

and, my breakfast (after gym)

2 cups steel cut oats

1/2 cup blueberries

1 tpsn. flaxseed

4 walnuts

1/2 cup almond/cashew milk

Total 473% of my Omega 3 requirement for the day

85% of my Omega 6 requirement for the day

That's an excellent ratio

Not to mention OH, there's no added oil anywhere.

How could that be?

P.S. The romaine alone has a very nice nutritional profile and contains 5% fat (of the omega 3 variety)

Plus, it all tasted really good.
