Foodie Friday is here!!!
Let's continue talking about oils and our health.
Evidence is pointing more and more towards refined oils for our epidemic levels of heart disease, not animal fats.
Refined oils, including vegetable oil, canola oil, soybean oil, margarine (including Earth Balance) and corn oil, use chemicals to process them which are harmful to us.
Furthermore, they do not hold up well to heat so they oxidize upon cooking.
This may not seem so bad in your home, where many people choose coconut or olive oils, but it's significant when eating out or buying packaged foods.
Read your labels, friends. And ask about oils when dining out. Your heart will thank you.
