We take organic butter and gently heat it to melt and separate it and turn it into ghee to remove the milk proteins. It's a pretty simple process and doesn't change the flavor. We chill it in silicone forms and turn it into sticks. It's great!

[@reccocon3442]

[@TruBlu65]

How to separate, and how long to heat? It sounds fab!!!

[@johnatyoutube]

@@TruBlu65 You put it in a glass bowl in gently simmering water in a large saucepan - a double boiler. If you get the right size bowl for your pan, it will just perfectly sit in it. You have to keep the water at a very low temperature for this method at just the melting point of the butter, but it's the simplest. Other methods involve filtering. Don't boil the water, be patient, and you'll be fine. Once all the butter melts, wait for it to separate (solids will be on the bottom), then you skim the clarified butter (oil) off the top with a shallow ladle and put it into a large pyrex measuring cup. It takes about 30-60 minutes for the entire process. You'll know when it's ready when you see two distinct layers in the bowl with the oil at the top. After you've ladled off all the oil into the measuring cup, pour it slowly into silicone butter stick molds that you can buy online and put them in the refrigerator. Put them on a firm tray like a cookie sheet as you fill them so that they don't collapse and spill when you move them. (Don't throw the solids down the drain - they will clog your pipes. Put them into a separate jar that you can throw away after it hardens.) Once the oil hardens into butter sticks in the molds, you remove the now clarified butter sticks from the molds and store them in a container and use them just like butter. We put each stick we make in a butter dish. You'd never know the difference. It tastes MUCH better and is cheaper than store bought ghee. And, if you make a lot, you can freeze some. It's really easy.

Frying is what creates a problem with coconut oil. To get the health benefits you say it has, you have to cold press it to get VCO or centrifuge coco milk to get the oil. This method does not rid the oil of its coconut smell and taste. So if you fry anything with virgin coconut oil it will leave a coconut flavor/smell. To get the coconut smell/taste out of this VCO we'd have to refine it; i.e, use steam/heat w/c would destroy the healthy nutrients in it or use chemical solvents w/c will destroy the healthy nutrients in it and introduce chemicals into the oil. Ergo, its almost the same as the seed oils if you want your fried food to have a neutral taste. However VCO ingested as a tonic or VCO used as a butter substitute in baking I absolutely agree is the healthiest plant oil.

[@drekberg]

Thank you Ron Bunggo. You're exactly right. In order to get a flavor neutral oil, you have to refine it and "ruin" it.

Avocado oil is by far the healthiest oil among that bunch with its super high smoke point and infinitely healthier than coconut oil which is oxidative at high temperatures.

[@_trismegistus]

He goes into more detail in another video about oils where he talks about the super high smoke point being something to watch out for because it means it has been processed to get there, or something. Dont remember exactly. I think any oil that burns is oxidative, it is not specific to coconut oil, right? It's smoke point seems no lower than butter or olive oil.

[@_trismegistus]

@SplayMnBoss my understanding is that oxidation is related to oxygen containing molecules with an uneven number of electrons, and that allows them to react more readily in your body and it's not always a good result. It can cause cellular and DNA damage over time. That's why things called antioxidants are beneficial because they neutralize the free radicals that cause the oxidative stress

[@_trismegistus]

@SplayMnBoss does the plastic packaging contaminate the food product? You can buy refined coconut oil which does not have much of a flavor. Not sure if the refining process is bad though... God I hate how ambiguous all of our food safety is. Also, where I live, much of the olive oils available come in glass bottles

[@_trismegistus]

@SplayMnBoss I just did a bit of research and it turns out that refined coconut oil is pretty processed. It has a higher smoke point than virgin coconut oil but it may not be as good for you because of the processing done to it. It really does seem like virgin coconut oil, Olive oils, unrefined avocado oil, and butter / lard are the best cooking oils and fats to use. This guy talks about the high heat avocado oils still being somewhat of a better choice than the vegetable and seed oils, so I guess just keep doing your own research?

Entire coastal region of south India (currently a quarter billion population) have been using Coconut oil for centuries. During 1990-2000s a non- internet-age; a massive mis-information campaign was started by learned and medical professionals saying that Coconut oil is bad for health and causes heart attack when compared to refined oils. This coincided with arrival of several MNC companies selling Sunflower oil and Vegetable oil. Thanks for recommending Coconut oil.

[@JEP-Tech]

The other point to make is that it's better to buy oils that are stored in glass and not plastic (aluminum/can foods usually have plastic wax coating as well), generally true for most foods. Definitely worth the cost if you will be storing the food or oils for an extended period of time. The chemicals in the plastic can leach overtime into foods that are stored in plastic, especially if exposed to sunlight. BPA free doesn't mean much when there are literally over 50 other common chemicals used in food-grade plastics that react with acids and bases and are not stable when exposed to heat or UV rays from sunlight. If you must store food in plastic, make sure it is not heated above room temperature and is kept in dry place away from direct sunlight or UV rays, even if the plastic says “microwave” or “dishwasher” safe.

Really informative. There's so much controversy over the fat topic. You make it clear. thank you!

[@TrudiTrahanupchanOKRA]

Your video is the first one to not recommend Canola, since it caused my Parkinsonism and destroyed my lucrative career and made me an invalid for 30 years - thank you.

[@andrewrivera4609]

Great vídeo Sten, thank YOU, another good oil for cooking is sesame oil, it supports up to 240 centigrades grades of heat.We use it home. And yes coconut oil is TOP

[@mkshffr4936]

Would love to get more information on how avocado oil is processed specifically.

[@danielkramer8586]

Isn't there an unrefined version? What's wrong with consuming it, either raw or cooked?

Great video it’s nice to see a video with somebody that knows what they’re talking about and tells the truth. The American Heart Association will tell you exactly the opposite.

[@0anant0]

AHA will tell u the opposite, not only about oils, but also about carbs, sugar, fats, ... They should publicly admit & apologize when their pervious recommendations were just plain wrong!

I have been using olive 🫒 oil my whole life, growing up we had olive trees, almond , nuts, fruit, vegetable, legumes just to name a few. I use the Mediterranean diet , because I know is the best ,and I grew up with that. I am almost 82, health, exercise , have a positive look on life, even on low day's. Been taking vitamins and minerals for the past 55years. I know very well what I am doing.

Yes, mediterranean diet is the best!

I use unfiltered organic extra virgin olive oil for dressings and cauliflower mash. I also use the avocado oil for mayonnaise. Organic coconut oil for everything else. I try not to brown anything so the smoke point is not an issue. Can't do dairy, it makes my heart go into atrial fibrillation.

[@the1stmbbsteacher381]

Great info doc. I have been binge watching your videos since I stumbled upon them 4 or 5 days back. I am 51 and my wt had plateaued at 67. I used the keto info in your videos and since then I am losing 300 gm each day. Thank you so much. I am from India and would love info on mustard oil. If you have already given info in some other video then please share its link.

[@a2clanderos]

What about Grape seed oil? You did not mention that one at all, I've been cooking with both Grapeseed oil and Avocado oils. Is Grapeseed oil a healthy oil to cook with? 🤷

[@drekberg]

Thank you Ana Landeros. I'm not a fan. It is very high in omega6's, usually processed with solvents like hexane. I've never had it, but I imagine a more naturally processed oil would be quite bitter, so usually sold highly processed.

[@cian4468]

Thank you for fine-tuning my knowledge about fats Dr. Ekberg.

[@testing9485]

I thought olive changes when you cook in it? Great for salad dressing, etc, but not for cooking.

[@megaswenson]

All oils change when you cook them. But really, who knows whether what's sold to us as 'Olive Oil' is even olive oil. You absolutely cannot trust the Italian brands, and there are others which are iffy.

[@Mariahlb]

Olive oil should not using for very high temperature of cooking! That my grandmother always said it. Now days cannot even trust of that if its pure olive oil. That's is why! Very convenient to us on summer time to travel some nearest part of Italy.From 🇨🇭 it's not so far by car.

[@ctsimaging]

I thought avocado oil was the best for cooking because it has a very high smoke point! Much higher than olive oil! Also the best olive oil has the lowest smoke point! Compared to the cheapest olive oil! I felt short shrift was given to my favorite oil, Avocado. Surely all avocado oils aren't the same.

[@PATRYK-R1]

[@jackerocket]

@@ctsimaging avocado oil is cold pressed and not "highly processed " as implied in this video. It is the best oil for cooking in my opinion.

[@mokles]

This is a great program of Dr. Ekberg. He took his time out of his busy schedule to go to Costco store to show us what food to buy.

[@undecidedgenius]

What about sunflower seed and peanut oils. I know it is a seed oil but I know all you have to do is crush them to get the oils out of them (I generally use them for higher temperature cooking)(deep frying)

[@barneydenstad2148]

take them coldpressed if you must take them.

[@rosiejaan4195]

[@jedlimen123]

Great information and demonstration. Thank you Dr. I believe that Costco also offers a good quality olive oil, and a very healthy form of butter known as ghee.

[@ericbwertz]

as he said, it depends on the source of the butter...

[@mattdudek5727]

Wow, What a wonderful, useful, practical video. Your guidance at Costco is really appreciated!! And so important and pertinent nutritionally! I have been confused about all this for some time in other vids. But in the aisle and pointing out the sensible choices. priceless!!! Let's go shopping with knowledge!

[@luckylondon8291]

Olive oil has two varieties extra Virgin olive and simple olive oil ... which one to use for cooking or deep frying

[@raywindred5419]

I use standard olive oil for deep frying and extra virgin for tossed salads and eating only.

[@dartagnantaft5918]

Thank you for the video. I'm fighting gout and this information is valuable to me. I appreciate the time you put in to marking these videos

[@CarbageMan]

I use a ton of avocado oil. It's very versatile for cooking, whereas olive oil breaks down easily. Unfortunately, I can't stand coconut oil.

[@mr.d.572]

You're actually better off if you ask me. I've been eating/using a lot of coconut oil in the past year and my blood work a week ago was terrible. There's something about coconut oil being a 12 carbon chain that can apparently make it harder to digest than other types of fat, and that also makes it raise your LDL levels. I'm trying to cut it down.

[@janonthemtn]

@@mr.d.572 Do you eat sugar and carbs? Those will have more effect on your labs than coconut oil. Unrefined coconut oil is good if you don't like flavor of coconut.
