Oil is typically easy to cook with, and it’s used in a wide variety of sweet and savory recipes. But is cooking with oil healthy for us? Have you ever wondered if it presents any risks?
Some oils are advertised as health foods. But no oil is really healthy, not even coconut oil, flaxseed oil, or olive oil. Oil is purely fat (with all other nutrients stripped away) and contains more calories per gram than any other food.
It’s completely acceptable to use oil every once in a while and consume it in small amounts. But if you’re aiming to create a healthier diet and lifestyle, reducing your oil intake may be something to consider.
