Re:Getting used to WAP eating (oils for cooking/frying)

[Guest guest]

I would not use grapeseed oil. from the WAPF website:

Question: Is grapeseed oil a good choice? We hear so much about it. I have read

that grape seed oil has a very high smoke point so it is a good oil to use for

cooking.

Answer: Grapeseed oil contains phenols that raise the smoke point. However it is

very high in omega-6 fatty acids, so it not a good choice for our diets--we need

to avoid excess omega-6 fatty acids as much as possible. Also, grapeseed oil is

industrially processed with hexane and other carcinogenic solvents, and traces

will remain in the oil.

Q: Do you recommend hemp oil or grape seed oil?

A: We do not recommend either of these oils. Hemp seed oil contains

cannabanoids that have caused people consuming the oil to flunk their urine

tests for drugs; and both hemp oil and grape seed oil are high in omega-6 fatty

acids--we already have too much of these in our diets.

cooking and I just found Spectrum Naturals Organic all vegetable shortening.

It's made from organic palm oil and supposed to work like crisco in baking. I

had a pie crust recipe that called for half butter and half crisco, and now I

can try it!  I've had a grain mill for years and just love it. Do read some

reviews first as they vary. :-)
