Stay Away from These Fats & Oils-Transformation TV-Episode

Dr. Josh Axe tells you exactly which oils to stay away from and why. And he gives you healthy alternatives for cooking and making your own salad dressings. Find more recipes for healthy alternatives at www.draxe.com
Unhealthy Oils:
1. Vegetable
2. Canola
3. Cottonseed
4. Hydrogenated
5. Trans fats
•Different oils have different heat thresholds.
•Most oils, when heated, change molecular structure. This process, called oxidation, causes the oils to turn rancid and converts good fats into bad fats.
•Every cell in the body is composed of fat, called a lipid bilayer. Therefore, in order to be healthy, it’s essential to consume good, healthy fats.
Healthy Oils:
1.Olive Oil (Organic, Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin)
•Olive oil is not healthy to cook with or heat at high temperatures because it oxidizes at high temperatures.
•Olive oil contains healthy Omega-9, monounsaturated fats, which help balance hormones.
2. Grapeseed Oil (Organic)
•Grapeseed oil is a healthy oil to cook with because it has a higher heat threshold. It does not oxidize at high temperatures.
•Grapeseed oil contains healthy Omega-9 monounsaturated fats, which help balance hormones.
3. Coconut Oil (Unrefined, Expeller-Pressed)
•Coconut oil is a healthy saturated fat that contains lauric acid, which is a medium-chain triglyceride that helps the body burn fat and lose weight.
•Coconut oil is a healthy oil to cook with because it has a high heat threshold and does not oxidize at high temperatures.
4. Organic/Raw Butter (Grass-Fed )
•Organic butter is a healthy saturated fat that contains CLA, conjugated linoleic acid, which helps the body burn fat and lose weight.
5. Ghee (Organic, Grass-Fed)
•Ghee is a clarified butter derived from India.
◦The protein is removed, so it is often more tolerated by those who are casein intolerant.
Action Steps:

You forgot avocado oil!! I deep fry and bake with it!!! Awesome flavor and high smoke point 500 degree

[@Kate-hm7cj]

this is a 10 year old video - back then they pushed coconut oil - wasn't much avocado oil on the shelves yet - i agree - much better for cooking - and no funky fishy taste like canola oil!!!!

[@d11xox]

Any body interested, you can make your own ghee from Organic butter! Just heat a lump of butter in a stainless steel container( or any container that evenly distributes heat) over medium heat! Do not stir, allow the butter to melt and gradually separate in to fat and milk solids! At this point reduce heat, stir and take it off the hob! Filter the fat through a sieve and allow it to cool and solidify! You have made your own ghee! The aroma is to die for! Hope this helped

[@LucieSalat]

Dee Nambiar thank you! Organic butter is the best and I love to use ghee in the kitchen 😘

[@time-pass5897]

Dee Nambiar lovely❤️

[@normaruiz8217]

thank you!

[@admin8446]

That's clarified butter. Ghee is made from cultured milk or curd.

[@Gunzee]

Heat butter then You skim the whey plz don't mix. Which gives you clarified butter. Keep heating and the clarified butter colour and smell changes. Then you have ghee. Keep the whey is great on skin, burns, bites & sun stings. Great on food too, parantha, saag or any food that benefits from salt and rich buttery tastes

[@Smokey.Tackle]

Nutrition experts noted that coconut oil is high in saturated fat (92 percent), and recommended using it only sparingly. In fact, coconut oil has more saturated fat than the same amount of butter or lard. There is also limited science to back up claims that coconut oil is much better for the heart than butter is. After evaluating all of the studies available, a 2016 review published in the journal Nutrition Reviews found that people who consumed coconut oil had higher total and LDL cholesterol levels than those who consumed unsaturated fats, although the levels were a bit lower than in the people who used butter.

[@BigGollum1]

I have heard that it is a saturated fat that it is not stored in your body cause it is a medium chain fat....

[@bigbawlr79]

This an old video and maybe out of date. I've heard grape seed oil has a 600-1 omega 6-3 ratio which would mean it's garbage. For cooking at high heat advacodo oil is a good one and at medium heat coconut oil is good.

[@charleenhopkins3590]

yes my hair falls out if i have canola , i stopped having it.

[@lucasboden]

Hi Dr Axe, I would also recommend doing a skin test with oils as well as all soaps are made with oil base. I had strange skin allergies to most soaps and doing a skin test with olive oil and vegetable oils gave me same itchy reactions and outbreaks. Once I switched to coconut oil based soap (NutriBiotic Coconut Oil Soap Peppermint & Bergamot), no outbreaks and my skin heals faster than ever and feels completely soft even in harsh dry winters.

[@vinsaurus]

my grandmother has had always cooked on either goose or pork fat. She is 87 now

[@ZubinB]

What a badass

[@BigGollum1]

lol thats true!!!

[@keithwilson6060]

You left out avocado oil. Also has a very high smoke point, so good for cooking.

[@corinnebousmans2261]

hé Dr Axe, i listened to several of your videos ..i have studied medicine myself ..and I find your knowledge and explanations excellent. You give life to the people. Really awesome. Thanks, Yeshué Bellefroid

[@ValerieCamina]

I have heard that avacado oil is great for cooking also because it has a high smoke point and is a good source of onega 3's.

[@Altamisal]

Good for making mayo too...whew, we get to have mayo!

[@ClearlyPlatonic]

I've heard so many bad things about grapeseed oil when it comes to keto. This video really cleared a lot of my questions and provided great information. Thank you!

[@chopjockey]

0:28 I've got news for you, there is no oil in vegetables... it's called vegetable oil because it sounds healthier than "Toxic seed oil".

[@megsrock]

What your opinion about mustard oil? Generally it is use in Indian cooking, kind of first opinion than refined oils!!! Ghee is best I believe for cooking!! It is made of two types from cow( lighter ghee, yellowish color) and from buffalo( heavy ghee, off white color), Indian sweet dishes are made generally with ghee due to its taste.

[@jewelsforthedome1672]

Megha Clouds forever the mustard oil sold by Indian shosp is heat processed it's fake too...unless you got cold pressed raw..

[@ZubinB]

@@jewelsforthedome1672 Not the 'kachi ghani', aka extra virgin ones.

[@jadedmastermind]

I recommend virgin red palm oil. It's THE richest source of vitamin E and among the richest sources of vitamin A, which is what gives the oil its deep red-orange color. It has a high smoke point and a fantastic aroma and flavor.

[@cedb3360]

Yeah lets destroy even more the rain forest!

[@kout31]

All you dumb asses, read the labels. Get the red palm oil from Africa or South America, NOT Asia!!! Nutiva and Juka's brands are from Ecucador and West Africa respectively.

[@rhondakay5869]

jadedmastermind Red palm stinks tho

[@jmikegreg]

One could assume that the path to that kind of disease results from consuming the animal fats, oils, etc etc, that lead to the clinical manifestations of arterial diseases and infarctions that result. He cites all the usual parameters, including discussions of LDL, HDL, total serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and inflammatory markers as irrefutable proof.

[@michaelhills8516]

Looking towards rice oil . peanut seasame oil what do you think of them.

[@shoban5037]

I have not experienced a high heat threshold for EV coconut oil at all. It's really more like olive oil or butter and should be used on a gentle heat.

[@smokeweed9463]

In southern part of india they use pure cold compress coconut oil and ghee which they make at home. Coconut oil and ghee is the best for cooking. I use it a lot. I even make my own at home. Supermarket i wouldn't trust for purity. Home made is natural and safe. I avoid supermarkets.

[@cgarvin4637]

Thank you very much for clearing this up. I have recently begun to make my own GHEE. Love it ! Especially when frying eggs.

[@dmm3124]

Regular olive oil is used for heat. Not extra virgin.

[@zealous.y]

Olive oil is perfectly suitable for cooking. So long as you're not using very high heat, it will not oxidize, and remain healthy and delicious. If it's not smoking - it's perfect!

[@vikkysoni7838]

we indian put ghee on chapati and after we boil rice we put little ghee in it to make it more soft........ and we eat ghee everyday... its the most important cooking item in our kitchen...

[@dearmeagan]

Hi Dr Axe, I was told Brown Rice oil which has a high smoke point is good for frying. Is this a healthy oil or what else can I use besides coconut oil for frying?

[@myappleaccount7267]

Been watched from other youtube channels that refined coconut oil is good as unrefined. Like my case i dont like coconut taste and smell so i use refined coconut oil.

[@erikabravo9114]

Thank God for you ❤

[@deepika7647]

what about the omega 6 to 3 ratio of grape seed oil, and also what do u think about sesame oil?

[@jenadjo5315]

What about palm oil .ty

[@Gabriel21733]

Extra virgin is a most important characteristic?? Hmm...cold pressed maybe, unrefined, yes, organic/no. GMO of course, but extra virgin??

[@PreciousRareFind]

The 100% LouAna Organic Coconut Oil I use is Non-Hydrogenated 0g. Trans Fat and the Pompeian 100% Grapeseed Oil 0g. Trans Fat seems healthy; however, they don't say First Cold Press or Unrefined like my Organic Olive Oil. Should that be a concern? Thanks much.

[@cynshim673]

Hi, what about groundnut oil ? It has a lovely aroma and nutty taste 😊

[@jessbarone2107]

What about high heat stable olive oil? In Aus “Red island” makes a high heat stable oil? Would that be beneficial ?

[@AlohaRobertTravelShow]

I started to use grapeseed oil for cooking chicken tenders everyday. Is that good or bad for me if I use grapeseed oil for cooking?

[@gabrielmendez4349]

What about foods that are contain hydrogenated oils but zero grams of trans fat?

[@MaksudaKhatunMohua]

Hi doctor! Recently I have my gallbladder surgery. Can I use rice bran oil or sunflower oil for cooking?

[@Enrique-ez7je]

Sunflower oil is healthy when it's expeller pressed and high oleic.

[@nandiux20]

Im losing a lot of nutrients by buying refined?... Dont like the taste of coconut everyday. Also, how long until oil in a bottle gets oxidized?... Everytime you pour, oxigen gets in there.

[@jmikegreg]

Dr. Axe, how do you feel about Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn's work, and his famous "NO OIL" comments in his KZbin vids and on tv interviews. His claim is based on clinical evidence, etc.

[@jimbrausky]

I bought coconut oil to cook my eggs and the flavor was so bad I threw out the breakfast and the coconut butter too. Maybe I bought the wrong kind, the one that's hard in a bowl, like butter.

[@MaZEEZaM]

This is Awesome, just the info I wanted to know. THANKS I do wonder about Peanut and sunflower oils though?

[@divineunion]

Thank you.. i use grapeseed oil to make a vegan mayo and it is perfect..

[@letyourlightshine2727]

Can I cook with sunflower oil once in a while?

[@cookiecutter5162]

What are 'Mono- and Di-Glycerides of Fatty Acids' ? Are they healthy?

[@WM-km1wr]

I am very happy to hear from you all these great info that we really need in our life, may I know what oil I can use to fries potato..

[@Viv8ldi]

What if it is organic sunfloweroil and no "hydrated" or "transfat" is mentioned, is it okay to go then? Please answer Dr. Axe

[@RaviRamaRamdial]

such good info... especially the bit about heating the olive oil and substituting grapeseed oil.... that is a switch i will definitely make from tomoro :) ty

[@mikeyunovapix7181]

I'd like to make french fries using peanut oil and beef tallow.

[@jamieleeredwood8011]

Sustainable palm oil .. Is this OK?I got gavy with it un?

[@jayanthivittal2428]

Thank you very much for the expert information.

[@prathvirajsharanappa3965]

Sesame oil?

[@magicdaveable]

Only Col Pressed Organic Grape Seed Oil is a healthy choice. Most Grape Seed Oil is extracted with solvents. You need to clarify that for your followers. Come on Doc you know better.

[@Gatsbyesque]

David Bennett I’ve read that cold-pressed grapeseed oil is a myth. Expeller is the standard for grape seed oil. You want to avoid solvent extracted, as you stated.

[@peterjensen7533]

4:00: What does it mean that a coconut oil is "organic". Is there anything from a coconut (or from any other living things for that matter), that is not organic?

[@RachelReaiah]

Is black seed oil ok?

[@jewelsforthedome1672]

rachel hendrickson that's great for health...to take orally or rub on skin..

[@ernsala79]

What about peanut and sunflower oil?

[@Enrique-ez7je]

Sunflower oil is healthy when it's expeller pressed and high oleic.

[@hgc1581]

What about palm oil?

[@HBFREEWORLD]

Palm oil , I hear it’s bad for health too .

[@drjoshaxe]

[@quatasisperry8615]

What a good grapeseed oil for skin

[@Luke-Emmanuel]

Why do I see everywhere grape seed oil omega 6 to 3 ratio is 646 to 1🤕🧐😳

[@yaelmarkman103]

AMAZING INFORMATION! Thank you! Exactly the information i was looking for! Wonderful and i just subscribed!

[@davidval7188]

Thanks for getting to the point.

[@mrmaxpowers2]

How about whether there are chemical and physiological differences between canola and rapeseed oil?

[@kout31]

Same thing.

[@dJ.kNiGhT23]

I cant find no organic butter in my city do they sale it at Target Walmart Walgreens but still I can't find it there

[@vitaleonis1196]

Thank you, this was extremely helpful

[@Stgfre]

What about peanut oil?

[@fadisalem5961]

High in omega 6 which means pro flammatory. So no it's no good.

[@dianneanderson731]

Dr. Axe, I am surprised you did not mention 100% peanut oil. Isn't it a safe oil for consuming, too?

[@horatiopardee5696]

Dianne Anderson lol Peanut oil can kill you if you have a peanut allergy.

[@youwhatmadeidk]

Horatio Pardee duh

[@FreddieSn]

Too much omega 6 , which is inflammatory and it also has estrogenic effect I have think

[@ZubinB]

@@FreddieSn Do you have any credible links/sources to that info? Would like to know since I've been using peanut oil the past couple years.

[@emmanuelhompanera3186]

I use Olive oil and coco oil 👌👌

[@birovsky83]

10 minutes ago i use to watching ,, IS OLIVE OIL HEALTHY? / DR. NEAL BARNARD,, AND THAT HAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT RECOMMENDATION . 🤔🤔

[@johnscott1948]

It is my understanding that Coconut Oil is one of the worst oils to use because its all saturated fat.

[@chiptom6461]

You typically cook with grape seed oil (@ 2:53) !! Are you kidding? With a Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio of 676:1, why aren't you throwing it out?

[@gayatri555]

what about mustard oil and groundnut oil

[@Naila897]

what about the sunflower oil ??

[@admin8446]

That's loaded with omega 6 fatty acids. No bueno

[@savetheenvironment.savethe5652]

Thanks

[@stupidshygirl6151]

Oh, Hi Mark

[@rayhanes1347]

man this sucks...I cook eggs everyday and am running out of options.

[@mustafaibnabdullah6392]

Reading THE comments sometimes is really depressing xD one says coconut oil is bad the other says organic butter is bad, I mean common. People have used coconuts for thousands of years, they call it the tree of life because it gives you great filtered water, it gives you oil it gives you milk and cream it even can give you bread people use the leaves for manny things. And if you look on KZbin the people who live this natural way of life they are healthy. Look up the Polynesian culture videos on KZbin. Same story with butter, let's take the example of sheep, it gives you milk, it gives you yoghurt it gives you variety of cheese, it gives you butter, it gives you its wool with it you can do all kinds of stuffs with make beds, clothes blankets. . It gives you great meat and companionship. Oh not to forget, it gives you great manure that you can reuse on your garden. These are the blessings and mercy of God appearing in these forms like sheeps, goats, vegetables and fruits. How could a milk be bad when it comes from a animal that grazes on a lush beautiful grass? Or its meat being not good for you. If such animal is given the right pure food and love and environment that animal is pure, and the one who consumes, consumes those things. Everything that is natural is good and pure. Same case with sunflower oil, grow the sunflower with good soil, make oil out of that. It will be the best oil in the world. Don't blame the sunflower if humans are polluting it.

[@sarab2312]

Thank you for the helping us 💕🌹👌

[@rronak95]

Dr.Axe, what is your opinion on natural (grassfed), tallow and lard (cow and pig fat). Before vegetale shortenings/oils, America used them for baked goods and fried foods. I have heard they contain many of the same vitamins and minerals found in coconut oil and butter.

[@F52xxx]

Is organic and non gmo canola oil healthy ?

[@sunshine-le6tu]

I love ghee.. 🤗

[@jmikegreg]

My point really is that after hours of careful reading and listening to good people, like you, on this very important subject [and the related diabetes issue], one could conclude that none of you really knows. what do you think?

[@zuzu5683]

but asian ppl use vegetable oil all the time and are way healther. Avoid is too extreme cause every ingredient on this planet has its pros and cons. Change it up sometimes, some soy bean oil won't harm you.

[@FreddieSn]

zuzu I think they use more nut oils like sesame oils.

[@carvingsonthewall5468]

You summed up in one small video. Thank you so much
