What's the best oil for you to use on a daily basis?

[JKurz1]

extra virgin olive? Flax? Sawflower? Peanut?

 

[sawastea]

I use flax seed oil and virgin oil daily...I also use Borlean's/UDO's and Labrada's as well...Many choices, too little time

If I'd vote on the best oil, I'd have to say fish oil and then flax

Sawastea is right, Fish oil is probably the best, but Flax oil is a close second. Flax is much cheaper too!

Basically you want to look for sources that are high in monounsaturated fats (also known as EFA's…Omega-6 & Omega-3). Because most of the EFA's we all eat come from predominately Omega-6’s, the very best fats are those with a high ratio of Omega-3's to Omega-6's. That basically comes down to Fish and Flax oils.

THEN extra virgin? How about a tb of olive, tb of peanut butter and tb of flax a day? Sound about right?

 

[desman]

sounds good, use udo's oil also

 

[cbs]

Udo's oil blend!

 

[JKurz1]

cook with udos?

 

[desman]

no u dont want to cook with udo's oil, bad move. You can add to a salad dressing, throw in a pro. shake, make a veggie dip with it, just be creative but get it into your diet

 

[anthrax]

cook with udos?

no !

You should not heat fish or flax seed oil (or any poly unsaturated fats)

For cooking, you'd rather use olive oil
