Guest guest Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Hi, I am very new to all this healthy diet and nutrition so please bear with me. I was explaining some of what I've learned to my dad and one of my sisters yesterday and the subject of oils came up. My dad said he'd seen a report on the news the other day about grapeseed oil and that it was supposedly very good for you. I've looked online and read a bit and it does seem to be but I'm wary of all I read anymore. Does anyone know anything about grapeseed? I've searched the messages for this topic and haven't found any messages regarding grapeseed so I apologize if it's already been covered. Thanks Belinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 I think grapeseed oil is mostly polyunsaturated and therefore not a good idea to consume. I did buy a bottle for massage and it went rancid at room temp. fairly quickly. I'd also bet that most grapeseed oils on the market are extracted by using nasty chemicals and high heat--another reason to avoid them. Lastly, I've never read about a traditional culture using this oil. My guess is that it is now being marketed as a super healthy oil because there's nothing better to do with all the leftover grapeseeds from winemaking (much like canola and soybean oil.)

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Belinda -- Grapeseed oil is mostly PUFA (polyunsaturated) and has a very high smoke point, which implies that it is highly processed. It is a typical refined vegetable oil - the kind we need to avoid. For cooking oils, you don't have a wide choice really - you can use coconut oil, ghee, butter (for light sauteeing) or animal fats like lard. -Pratick --- Belinda <abeautifulmind2@...> wrote: > > > Hi, I am very new to all this healthy diet and nutrition so please > bear with me.

Primarily because peanuts are just about the most contaminated in terms of pesticides. And also because of the high-heat, chemicals based oil extraction process (which is common among all vegetable oils). I guess, if you can get cold-pressed, organic peanut oil, it may be considered better, but it is still an inferior oil as compared to butter, ghee, VCO, lard, etc. -Pratick __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
