[@goodbher9244]

Oil's oil. Cooking oils shouldn't have strong flavor, and once you heat oil it's less nutrient rich anyway. Just use less oil if you can, the smallest amount in your pan as possible is a great way to go. Any topping of oil should be olive oil, since it tastes better, and is relatively healthy when uncooked. Once you heat the oil its no longer "extra virgin" so using it as cooking oil doesn't really add too much nutrients to your dish (obviously it's still got healthier fats but a lot of those nutrients are now damaged and you'll get less)

[@michaelgeary9370]

The main thing you should worry about with cooking oils is smoke point in relation to the level of heat you wish to apply for extremely practical reasons.

[@levonschaftin3676]

oil that is extracted from seeds which reaches high temperatures in that process and as a result, oxidizes. oxidation can then create free radicals which promote inflammation which is the cause of a number of different ailments. it's no secret that heart and cardiovascular disease saw massive increases in occurrence with the advent of crisco. it should not be a stretch to believe that the food companies selling you this garbage don't have your best interests in mind.

[@million_unalived_CEOs]

commercial kitchens don't typically cook on non-stick. it can't handle high heat or mechanical abuse (both of which are constant) and wears out quickly. most places use aluminum pans because they're very cheap, durable, and work pretty well. a higher end place might use stainless. and a grill surface (flat top or broiler) is probably carbon steel. sticking really isn't a problem with sufficient oil (which they are _definitely_ using plenty of) and a bit of heat control, and is sometimes even desirable to a degree. (the packaging is probably cheap crap though)

Good analysis as always, one minor complaint, some viewers might come away from the aside on cutting boards thinking wood boards harbor bacteria. UC Davis Food Safety Lab in the 1990s repeatedly and convincingly showed wood boards are more sanitary than plastic with meat residues and bacteria like salmonella. Wood is porous, but if washed with regular dish soap and towel dried, the pores don't harbor any residual live bacteria, they kill them by drawing them in where they dry out, stop multiplying, and gradually die. Worn (knife-marked) wood boards have an even greater cleanliness advantage over worn plastic ones, because the same washing action is much less effective at disinfecting a cut-up plastic board and the bacteria do multiply in the crevices, where a well-used wood board works basically the same as a new one. This research led USDA to reverse their vibes-based advice against using wood cutting boards at home, but unfortunately the "wood harbors bacteria" myth mostly persists with the public.

[@m.f.3347]

I agree with everything you said, but I think what Shaq was getting at is less that "wood boards are bad because XYZ" and more that no matter what choice you make, somebody is going to yell at you about it (even if they're wrong)

@@m.f.3347 yes, I think the framing there was kinda ambiguous but most viewers who don't know the research on wood board sanitation would come away from it thinking he'd endorsed the misconception they harbor bacteria more than plastic

How was the point ambiguous at all? Microplastics haven't been proven to cause problems yet and we don't have numbers on glass board injuries. All 3 can be fine technically. And why defend wood over the other 2 choices?

If somebody avoids seed oils because they think that consuming them in any quantity will lead to serious health problems for no better reason than because they saw a tiktok of a shirtless dude in a grocery store saying that it would, then I'd rather help them get past that irrational fear. It's about the fear and stress being disproportionate to the actual issue at hand. I don't want people, especially family members, stressing out unnecessarily. And to be clear, I personally do not consume nearly any seed oils, nor do I recommend people go out of their way to include them in their diets. I cook 95% of my own meals from single ingredient foods and prefer to use extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil when I do so. It's one thing to say "don't use seed oils because there are better options out there", but another thing to say "don't use seed oils because they will cause X/Y/Z major health problem". I think people greatly over exaggerate the potential health effects they have, none of which to my knowledge have really been proven in human research.

It’s because in recent years there have been more and more studies investigating and questioning the cholesterol theory of atherosclerosis. We’ve had statins for 20+ years now and the average diet has shifted from saturated fats to polyunsaturated fats which was supposed to prevent heart disease but heart disease is only on the rise. It’s caused a lot of researchers and doctors cognitive dissonance in terms of what they were told would happen and what actually is happening in their practices/datasets. Everyone agrees that French fries are bad, but if you ask most people why they don’t really know. “Because it’s fried”. Okay, but potatoes are perfectly fine as long as you’re not diabetic. There’s something about the frying process itself that’s unhealthy. In my opinion, it’s the “seed oils”, which oxidize easily, especially in the presence of heat. There is an interesting new narrative review, just a couple years old, which explores a specific kind of “seed oil” called Lineolic Acid as a theoretical mechanism of causing heart disease.

Actual nutrition research is insanely difficult to do and rarely happens. Not to mention there are a lot of, for a lack of a better term, mercenary researchers out there that will give you whatever finding you're looking for if you pay them. This is why the Vegan Vs. Carnivore (or any other nutritive debate) will never end. There are people on both sides throwing huge amounts into research to support their positions. This is also why you can seemingly never find a straight answer on these sorts of questions.

I'm a pharmacist from Romania. Back in college, the department of Botany used to publish dozens of scientific papers on what chemical compounds different plants contained. That's good, sounds like what a department of pharmaceutical botany should be writing about. The kicker was, every article also included health claims such as "This plants contains anthocyanins. Anthocyanins have health benefits because they're in this plant. This plant is good for you because it's been used in traditional Anatolian medicine and it contains anthocyanins." You may notice some circular logic. The reason they did this was because a local nutritional supplements factory would sponsor the department. They would quote the university papers and say "look, our pills contain anthocyanins, they're good because studies show they're good for you!" In the end, no one really knew what the compounds did or how good the plants were for you. What did happen was the supplements factory got more credibility and sold more stuff. Yay.

Shaq this is outrageous, I need the foodtuber I have a parasocial relationship with to force feed opinions of food safety to me

[@PetarWD]

Off topic but kinda on topic thoughts from a pharmaceutical chemist working in R&D in the petroleum industry. It's more similar than you think. First we have divide oils into two categories, saturated and unsaturated. Saturated fatty acids have straight carbon chains with no obvious place for other molecules to attack. Meaning higher resistance to oxidative degradation, think synthetic motor oil. This is also why tallow and ghee have high smoke points. The nice straight carbon chains stack nicely, hence solid at room temp. Unsaturated on the other hand have double bonds which introduces kinks and bends into the carbon chain. The increase of electron density at the double bonds facilitates cleavage of chain by either oxygen or water (hydrolysis). This makes them better for use in biodegradable lubricants but for the same reason more prone to oxidation and radical formation in high heat searing. If you were to send both types of fats for biological testing in bacterial inoculum and daphnia the immediate result is that the saturated fatty acids will bioaccumulate until the subjects die. Meanwhile the unsaturated fats are more easily degradable by both chemical (water) and enzymatic hydrolysis. You are not daphnia(!) but the enzymes in your body are the same. They hold the water molecule in a position so that it can more easily react with the carbon chain. Saturated=high heat, unsaturated= easier breakdown. Where my knowledge ends is US production of vegetable oils as I am based on northern Europe. I've seen first hand how responsible rapeseed oil is produced here and I genuinely do not know if US actually uses solvent extraction. I'm by no means an expert but I would be careful with trusting any "doctor" giving advice on nutrition. Look for dietitians, MD's and chemist doing research in the field of nutrition. Also, while on the topic. Natural does not automatically mean better. If anyone got this far, well done nerd. You take what you want from this, I'm just a chemist that likes all his fatty acids equally.

I have eaten out at restaurants/fast food probably less than 15 times in the last 5 years. This is not out of any health consciousness or anything, just because I'm a cheapass and cooking at home is so much cheaper. I also very frequently don't eat red meat or any meat at all over the course of a week, not because I'm vegan or vegetarian, just because It's cheaper to buy a bunch of produce, cheese, eggs, etc. than it is to buy a steak every week. If you wish you had more disposable income, try being a home cook! It might make you healthier too as an added bonus. However, if eating out often is a value-add to your life, follow your bliss.

While I love olive oil for some cooking, I''ve always stuck to canola for most general cooking because of the higher smoke point and neutral flavor. When I recently started getting into deep frying, I realized that the peanut oil which is best for that is what I should've been using instead of canola all along.

[@michaelgeary9370]

man I fucking love peanut oil but I've been getting priced outta that shit these last couple years

[@northcoastcopper]

I made the same switch years ago when I realized canola actually isn't neutral when heated near its smoke point, it adds a rancid fishy note that's actually pretty disgusting. Then when peanut started getting expensive, I found tallow (rendered from beef suet from the butcher, which is $2/lb for me in the upper midwest and yields about 80%) is cheaper, tastier, plenty neutral for frying fish and roasting veg etc, and can be reused more times in deep frying before it goes off. Unfortunately since then tallow has become a dumb culture war thing, it remains delicious and highly useful though.

Meanwhile, my younger brother probably couldn't tell you the last time he cooked a meal. All raised by the same parents. But it's possible that my parents changed their parenting style as they got older. I remember a lot of home cooked meals but also a lot of fast food. It's possible that there was a trend toward fast food over time that my brother was the primary victim of.

Talking about what works well for you, I have randomly started getting massive stomach pain, and IBS symptoms, went to the doctor who said to keep a Journal of everything I ate, then selectively eliminated what caused the issue, I was eating ramen so much because I knew that wasn't causing my issues. Then one day where I just needed to eat I had Ramen and added some Broccoli to make it "healthier", BAMM I now know what has suddenly started causing my IBS. I have no idea why it started so quickly as I have always eaten lots of the stuff, but, when I went back through my food diary, there it was clear as day IBS symptoms within 24 hours of eating Broccoli. The annoying thing is Broccoli was 50% of the veggies I ate, so now I miss, I need another Veggie, worried to try "green" veggies.

[@Mentro140]

I'd try cauliflower if you haven't

[@TheGreektrojan]

If you haven't already, search low fodmap diets and specific find the types broccoli has. That should give you a decent idea of what foods might potentially trigger your IBS and which ones should not. You don't need to eliminate all of them, just a good place to start with the potentially most problematic.

[@alcs-ir1ev]

Maybe after you are done with the elimination phase you can see if you can add back small amounts of broccoli progressively? Keep in mind that the broccoli stems are extremely fibrous and it's not the kind of fiber IBS bellies are good at handling. If you add it back to your diet then eat only the "flower"/ the upper part of it. For the time being you could see if you can eat "leafier" greens like kale, black cabbage and bok choy. They are often easier to handle for those with IBS.

[@alcs-ir1ev]

But keep in mind that this doesn't mean that you can't eat broccoli again ever. I have IBS and I was sad when I thought I wouldn't be able to eat bread again. But after the elimination phase I started adding back small amounts of sourdough spelt bread. And now I am usually able to eat 2 regular small sandwiches a day without any stomach issues! The idea is to progressively start adding back higher fodmap ingredients in very small amounts after you have had the elimination phase and kept a food diary to see what causes pain for you. In the future you may be able to eat broccoli again

[@mafiacat88]

Maybe Brussels sprouts? I find they've got a similar flavour and similar-ish texture if cooked well. I mean it's all brassica all the way down for like half the veggies we eat, so it might be close enough that it just does the same thing. But it could be worth a shot.
