Beyond the Bottle: The Truth About Cooking Oils

Everyone knows the foods to eat that improve health, but how we cook the food can be just as 


important. With so many oils and butter products claiming to be the best, it can be difficult to know which ones to use and which ones to avoid.


Canola Oil

Canola oil is a popular oil, and many physicians claim that it can lower the risk of heart disease. The oil is low in saturated fat, high in monounsaturated fat, and offers the best fatty acid composition when compared to other oils.


You can use canola oil for sautéing, as a marinade, and even in low-temperature stir-frying. It has a bland flavor, which makes it a great oil for foods that contain many spices. Unlike other oils, this one won't interfere with the taste of your meal.   


Olive Oil

Olive oil offers a very distinct flavor with plenty of heart-healthy ingredients. The oil is rich in monounsaturated fat, helps lower cholesterol levels, and reduces the risk of cancer. It's also rich in antioxidants and has a very long storage life.
