I think you will be surprised at what I tell you in this video. Many people have a precise cooking oil that they use on a daily basis and I can guarantee you that the majority of people reading this post are using an oil that is harmful to their health. My video will tell exactly which ones are safe, which ones are not and why that is the case. I am currently studying to become a nutritional therapist and I thought this information was too important not to pass on.
The FAST TRACK to an IBS-Free Life
Good video. Avocado oil is really expensive here, and not always easy to find, so I don’t use it. Olive oil is my main oil, and of course butter is wonderful. I also use some coconut oil. Like lard a lot too. Haven’t used palm oil — really should try it, although as you point out there are issues with it. Anyway, good stuff — thanks.
Yes, lard is another good fat we can cook with.
Hi Suzanne, what about organic Canola oil which I use sometimes in baking recipes, but not for frying…is that suitable?
Canola oil is well above the polyunsaturated threshold at 32%, unfortunately.
Thanks, Suzanne (and it’s great to touch base with you again!). It’s great to hear you are studying nutritional therapy!
Unfortunately for me the video stopped working mid-way so I couldn’t see the whole thing. I think it’s my computer, not the video.
Anyway, this topic is also of great interest to me, and it’s something I have been reading a lot about lately. I found this helpful and wanted to share it with you:

Scroll down to get a list of smoke points and type of fat (but % is not given, unfortunately).
I use (cold pressed) avocado oil when frying – it’s a bit more expensive than the others, but not by much (in South Australia). I think it’s worth the investment in my health.
Hi Donna. Try re-freshing and then maybe it will play right through or watch it on a different computer. Thanks for the link but unfortunately we do need to know the amount of polyunsaturated fat as well as the smoke point. Avocado oil is a good one.
