Choosing the right cooking oil matters for your health. Learn which oils reduce inflammation, support heart health, and which ones to avoid in your kitchen.
In this episode, Dr. Alicia Newsome breaks down everything you need to know about healthy cooking oils and cooking fats. She explains which oils are best for high-heat cooking, which ones to use as finishing oils, and which common cooking oils may be harming your health. Learn about smoke points, the difference between refined and unrefined oils, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and how to choose the healthiest cooking oils for your family.
Dr. Newsome shares specific temperature guidelines for popular oils like avocado oil (up to 520°F refined), coconut oil, and olive oil—plus why she recommends keeping extra virgin olive oil under 120°F for maximum health benefits. She also reveals the shocking truth about omega-6 to omega-3 ratios in the typical Western diet (20:1 versus the ideal 1:1 to 4:1) and how this chronic imbalance fuels inflammation and disease.
