[Medical] - Medical doctor Chris Knobbe says the biggest cause of all diseases are the vegetable oils used in food

[UltimaOnline]

He says if everyone used animal lard instead of vegetable oils for cooking food, 90% of all diseases would disappear.

I personally recommend using cold pressed extra virgin olive oil to replace all other vegetable oils. Problem is all cooked food prepared in Singapore (eg. hawker center, food court, restaurant, etc) will use the cheapest vegetable oils around for obvious commercial reasons, and the Singapore government pushes for Singaporeans to use Canola oil, wrongly thinking that it's the healthiest oil to use, when in fact it's certainly not.

Edited to add :

A lot of health-conscious folks have the mistaken idea that cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil is unsuitable for frying due to its low smoke point. That's a false myth. Multiple separate independent medical studies have shown that despite the relatively lower smoke point* of cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil compared to all other vegetable oils, cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oils were the most biochemically stable against oxidation and generated the least amount of toxins when heated at high temperatures** such as used in frying, compared with all other vegetable oils with (ironically) higher smoke points. In other words, all other vegetable oils start to biochemically degrade and produce toxins even before reaching their smoke points, while cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oils are most resistant to biochemical degradation and toxic oxidation even past its smoke point.

"The oxidative stability does not directly correspond to the smoke point, and thus the smoke point of an oil cannot be used reliably as a reference for safe and healthy cooking." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_point#Oxidative_stability

* the smoke point of olive oils vary significantly across types and brands, true cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil by reputable brands have significantly higher smoke points compared to cheaper partially processed olive oils mislabeled as 'extra virgin' by dodgy brands for unscrupulous profit purposes. In other words, as long as you use a reputable brand of true cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil, normal cooking methods (including short-duration stir-frying or air-frying) won't even reach its smoke point.

** extreme high temperatures for long-duration generates toxins and should never be used for cooking and is never healthy, regardless of type of oil used. Why use unhealthy long-duration deep-frying when healthier short-duration stir-frying or air-frying should already meet all your cooking needs? If you regularly use long-duration deep frying, no oil on Earth can save your life, not even cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil.

Medical doctor Eric Berg who's an expert in Keto diet and Intermittent Fasting, recommends using cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil for frying (due to its exceptional biochemical stability against oxidation at typical stir-frying & air-frying temperatures which is less than 200 deg C; I personally use 180 deg C on my air-fryer which is more than enough for all cooking needs) :

I personally recommend using cold pressed extra virgin olive and/or avocado oils to replace all other vegetable oils. Problem is all cooked food prepared in Singapore (eg. hawker center, food court, restaurant, etc) will use the cheapest vegetable oils around for obvious commercial reasons, and the Singapore government pushes for Singaporeans to use Canola oil, wrongly thinking that it's the healthiest oil to use, when in fact it's actually terribly unhealthy.

“Vegetable oil” = “soy oil” for the most part since it is the cheapest vegetable oil there is. And the vast, vast majority of olive oil sold is actually adulterated with soy oil. Save your money, just buy soy oil.

First of all, margarine should be banned!

my kitchen only has avocado oil for cooking and evoo for dripping. cannot use evoo for sauteing or frying. there’s a lighter oo variant that can be used for cooking. sometimes i would use grape seed oil for cooking, but so far, avocado oil is best as a general cooking oil in the kitchen.

That's a false myth (that the majority of health-conscious people still mistakenly believe). For ALL types of cooking (even deep frying), cold pressed extra virgin olive oil is ALWAYS healthier than the 'lighter' ie. more processed olive oil.

Cooking oil manufacturers are happy to perpetuate this false myth because they can sell a lot more of their cheaper processed diluted olive oil as 'lighter and suitable for cooking'.

The main reason for this false myth, is wrongly equivocating the smoke point to the point of biochemical destruction. For olive oil, the healthy anti-oxidant components continue to function even beyond the smoke point, a fact little known to the health community (because it usually doesn't apply to most other cooking oils), but has been proven in medical studies.

I don't expect you (anyone reading this) to believe this (don't ever blindly believe anything, especially religion), but rather I encourage you to do your own deeper research into this matter if you're interested.

Avocado oil as long as cold pressed extra virgin is just as healthy as olive oil.

i’ve done more than 30 years of cooking with oo thus using evoo to fry and saute is not only not ideal but foolish with the purpose of evoo. italian chefs would scold you if you abuse evoo for frying. there are cheaper better oils for frying. i use avocado oil and grape seed oil which actually cost more than evoo. but their properties for high heat are great for those conditions. using evoo for eveything is like sinkies using chili for every dish. btw, the lighter oo is not processed like a typical cheap peanut, sunflower seed, or canola oil. you may be fooled by fake news in the internet about cheap fake oo. the lighter version i’m referring to is a 2nd or 3rd pressed oo that may at times be filtered in a tank. evoo that is cold pressed and filtered has thick viscosity due to higher oil content while the latter presses have lower viscosities due to more juice and water content (thus the need for a longer sedimentary filtration process). lighter oo is actually not cheap compared to evoo, contrary to laymen’s claims.

Then those Italian chefs are idiots.

Medical studies have shown a positive correlation between chilli consumption and longevity. So it's a good idea to use chilli in as many of your dishes & meals as you're happy with.

you have been suckered by the sunken sinkie stockholm syndrome for far too long. japs have maintained records for longevity decades before they know anything about oo and chili. in fact, they live longer without these two.

If you're their student and Italian chefs scold you for not following their instructions for cooking Italian style, that's fine. But if they (or anyone) scolds you for choosing the option which gives you greater health as proven by medical studies, then they're idiots for obvious reasons.

As for the Japanese (just as it's more self-respectful to say 'Singaporean' rather than the self-derogatory 'Sinkies'), the real reason for their longevity is due to their high intake of foods rich in omega 3, taurine and magnesium, 3 supplements (amongst others, anyone interested can message me for a longer list of recommended health supplements) that everyone should be taking for good health.

 

[tobelightlight]

olive oil for cooking? olive oil has low heat point. more suitable to use for salad.

in other words, the longevity aspects of oo to one’s health purported by trolls on the internet is highly overrated and exaggerated. there is no panacea nor monopoly to longevity.

 

[knowwhatyouwantinlife]

If u are exercising regularly and your six pacs are.visible ( no need to be shred) you are already in good health (dosent mean no illness) therefore eating anything in moderation should be ok...as for types of oil the best is to consume as little as possible and always cook using the slow cooker (dump and go) to cook meals as no oil is needed at all...

 

[laksaboy]

Don't forget high fucktose corn syrup.

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

And don’t forget the ‘healthy’ margarine vs butter debate.

 

[syed putra]

First of all, margarine should be banned!

Just a decade ago they wanted butter curtailed and replaced with margarine.

Italians are roman catholic so they promote lard and pork like Guanciale in carbonara.

There is a big anti palm oil lobby going on because nobody can beat it in terms of cost. Palm oil produces ten times more oil per acres than nearest competitor. You eliminate palm oil from the process, you need 10 times more land to replace it. You think virgin olive oil can do this?
Palm oil can compete even with heavily subsidised EU vegetable oil such as sunflower, corn or whatever.bring them on.

Looking at Mahathir I am convinced a no pork diet leads to long life. Compare and contrast against Lky.

Wat about rice bran oil?

 

[eatshitndie]

Wat about rice bran oil?

heard about it but hasn't tried it yet. i've tried coconut oil. not as good (for cooking) as avocado oil. if smoke point is low, toxic fumes will ensue when oil reaches smoke point.

here are the prices in the u.s. for various oils at ~69 fluid ounces....

evoo $19.49 (smoke point 375 degrees f)

sextra light oo $24.65 (smoke point 390 to 469 degrees f depending on brand)

avocado oil $19.69 (smoke point 500 degrees f)

grape seed oil $20.00 (smoke point 420 degrees f)
