Revision as of 16:27, 8 June 2024

Which oil is healthiest? Is canola oil bad? Is olive oil good? What other options are good?

Factors:

  • Smoke Point
    • Higher smoke point means less risk of introducing toxins and carcinogens during cooking. Or, from a different angle, allows a wider range of cooking temperatures without introducing toxins or carcinogens.
  • Omega Ratio (3, 6, 9)
    • Omega 3 is good, Omega 6 is bad, Omega 9 is good.
  • GMO
    • Genetic modification of crops poses various risks, from altering agriculture processes to nutrient and toxin content in the final product.
