Mix of olive oil and sunflower

[Iandelav]

Recently they started tosell in a mall near my home a mix of Olive oil and Sunflower oil. Itis considerably cheaper than plain olive oil, and I have readsomewhere that sunflower oil also has its benefits. Do you think itwould be a good mix to use in cooking?

any time of oil is very fat dense and calorie dense

if your goals are losing weight it is a horrible idea. each tablespoon is 120-150 calories

I would recommend switching to a cooking spray. It will save a ton of calories. Look for a coconut oil cooking spray.

Sunflower oil is not healthy at all. It has way too many omega 6s and very little omega 3s.

Part of the reason we are all so sick in North America is from the over consumption of vegetable oils like sunflower oil.

The best oils to include in your diet are extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil and macadamia nut oil.

But the sunflower oil has lots of vitamin E - would not that be a good thing?

That sounds like an interesting combo, but I would go looking for a different source of vitamin E. The olive oil you will find in such a mix will be surely a refined one, and you need to get the extra virgin, as it is the most natural and it has not been altered.
