Fats and oils are essential for your health, and you need to consume enough of them, but when you cook with common seed oils like safflower, sunflower and canola, they may break down and become damaged. These damaged oils are highly oxidative and promote weight gain and insulin resistance. Better oils to use in cooking are olive oil, butter, ghee (clarified butter) and coconut oil which are very heat- resistant; also, use these and other oils like hemp seed, flax and macadamia on food after cooking and as a base for salad dressings. Use butter, ghee, coconut oil and olive oil for cooking and olive oil, macadamia oil and hempseed and flaxseed oil as salad dressings.
