Re: I have a question about oil!!

[Guest guest]

There is a lot of confusion and mis information about oils. Canola is

bad...there is no such plant as a " canola " , so the term " vegetable oil " is

misleading. Canola stands for " Canada Oil " , not a plant. It is made from a

variety of genetically modified things. Peanut and corn oil are ALL GMO. I

press my own sunflower oil, but use even very little of that-I have lost my

taste for oily things over time. If I sautee, I do it in a small amount of

homemade raw milk butter, or my sunflower oil (which is healthy and available at

health food stores) Coconut oil is great stuff-it has long chain fatty acids,

and the " saturated " fat in it is easily assimilated by the body. The biggest

issue with most oils is that they are usually manufacted in the same factories

that process the GMO stuff, so getting a non contaminated one is next to

impossible. Olive oil is great in moderation if it virgin, cold FIRST pressed,

and comes from a facility that does JUST that type of oil. I use a Piteba press

to make oil-very messy, very little yield for the work, but a lovely oil. If I

couldn't make my own, I would buy sunflower oil.

I always go for extra virgin olive oil though that is probably a waste as

regular olive oil would probably do well for sauteeing.  The extra virgin is

more expensive and should be used on salad dressings where it is eaten in a more

pure state.  I just can't see having several kinds of olive oil on hand.  I do

have grape seed oil and canola oil on hand.  I don't use the coconut because it

is saturated.  It may be one of those things where first this is not healthy

and then it is or vice versa.  I just don't go for saturated or trans fats.

 

Many cooks use peanut oil for deep frying, which I don't really do anymore.  So

I don't have that.  For frying, it is the heat that affects the oils and some

won't hold up and can be worse for you, like using olive oil to fry above a

certain temperature.

 

I realize that many on here use the coconut oil but I don't understand at this

point since it has saturated fats.  Even my margarine is made from oil and has

fatty fish oils in it.  But it is certainly processed and who knows what else

it has in it.

Subject: I have a question about oil!!

 

HI all.

I have read that the best oil for frying (regardless what the norm is) is extra

virgin coconut oil. It's a saturated fat but it's healthy. That's what I read.

There is also the red oil (Palm Fruit Oil). NOT Palm Kernel oil. Which I was

once given. It's supposed to be the healthiest oil on the planet.

So here is my question. If one has the money of Trump, and one likes to

cook, what is the absolutely best oil that money could buy (for sauteeing, etc.)

Anyone know the definite answer?

Thanks, Melody

I read someplace that even EVO can't be relied on as being first pressed.  They

get more money for EVO and most comes from Italy.  I read that Italians laugh

at us as there isn't much of real EVO and they keep it for themselves.  Our

palate isn't good enough to be able to taste the difference in what they give

us.  That was discouraging.  If it is not expensive, then it isn't EVO, even

if it says it is. 

 

Your home pressed sunflower oil sounds fantastic.  With how little you get is

why the real EVO is so expensive, it, too, is precious and little of it. 

 

I sure didn't know Canola oil was Canadian oil from various plants.  Maybe

Safflower oil is better.  What don't I know about that? 

 

Is brown sugar just as bad as white sugar?  What about turbinado?

I know people like Dr. Ox tout safflower oil, but I haven't ever used it or

researched it, so I don't know much about it, except that it is probably

processed in the same facility as other oils, such as soy and corn (this is not

likely an issue for anyone unless you have allergies like I do-cross

contamination is a huge issue for us) As for sugar, I use evaporated cane

juice, which although it is called " juice " is actually in crystal form and

readily available where regular sugar is sold. I rarely use ANY sugar, but I

keep that on hand for when my mother is here and likes sugar in her coffee. It

is less processed than bleached white sugar, and retains a few more minerals

from the molasses that is left in it, giving it its pale blond color.

Yes, I don't think saturated fat is necessarily bad for one – see, so that

affects my opinion. I do think GMOs are not healthy. That also affects my

opinion.

Coconut oil has a high percent of medium chain fatty acids, is easily

absorbed and a good source of energy. It has been used in alzheimer

treatments - http://www.coconutketones.com/ - this is the website of the

woman doctor who actually treated her husband with it – you can see the

changes in his mental status in his drawings – and there are some good

videos, and you can heat it without creating trans-fats. Canola has

trans-fats – but others may not worry about trans-fats.

I agree, everyone should do their own research, and what is right for one

person is certainly not necessarily right for another. <G>

I copied and pasted some info on neem and how to use it.... you can get 35

pounds of neem seed oil for 185 dollars...or 2 pounds for 12 bucks... shipping

not included at camdengrey.com they're in in miami if you want to pick it up...

shipping it might be expensive.... They have many nice products there reasonably

priced...

 

Neem

This is a thick, dark colored oil. Neem Seed Oil, Azadirachta indica. The neem

seed kernel is very rich in fatty acids, often up to 50 % of the kernel's

weight. Neem seed oil is very bitter with a garlic/sulfur smell; it contains

vitamin E and other essential amino acids. Neem oil is an excellent moisturizing

oil that contains compounds with historical and scientific validity as

medicinals.

Neem is also known as Nimba, Margosa or Indian Tulip Tree Oil, which is a

traditional treatment for severely damaged skin. Neem seed oil is not an

essential oil. Our Neem oil is cold pressed, no solvents are used in its

processing and its origin is from India.

The concentrated essential fatty acids help to restore moisture and elasticity

to the skin while it disinfects and heals. Apply sparingly several times a day

to affected areas. You may also add 20 to 25 drops of Neem Oil to 8 ounces of

your favorite shampoo, massage oil or lotion.

As a natural pesticide: Using neem derivatives for managing pests is a

non-violent approach to controlling pests. Neem products work by intervening at

several stages of the insect's life. They may not kill the pest instantaneously

but incapacitate it in several ways. Neem very subtly employs effects such as

repellence, feeding and ovipositional deterrence, growth inhibition, mating

disruption, chemo-sterilization, etc..

Extracts from neem have shown incredible success with not only battling fungus

problems but also many forms of root rot. Neem biodegrades in a matter of weeks

when exposed to the sunlight. Pure Neem oil will retain its potency much longer

if stored in a cool place away from strong light. Here are some tips on using

Neem oil: (1) Don�t mix any more than you need. (2) Add water and a little

soap to the plant before spraying. (3) Spray the complete plant including the

potting media. (4) Mix 1 oz. in 1 gallon of water. A weaker solution may be used

for maintenance. INCI: Azadirachta indica.

Do you spray Neem oil diluted on your outdoor plants to keep away bugs or do you

just share with them.  I wouldn't mind but they take a bit of this one and that

one.  They should eat it all and leave the rest alone.
