Seems soybean oil is the worst type of oil, and is even worse than a high sugar diet! The article talks about other oils as well.
Do you use coconut oil instead of other oils? I use mostly olive oil and grapeseed oil. But I have heard good things of coconut.
What is your favorite oil to cook with and use in salads?

In general, I do not use corn/soy/canola oil. I use olive oil, unrefined coconut oil and butter. I use peanut oil when I fry chicken for my family. I actually make our butter from the cream from our milk. Truthfully, I don't fry a lot of things, so my additional oil usage is minimal.

I mostly use olive oil too. But someone told me that unless you buy really high end olive oil, your olive oil has hardly if not any olives in it. I have not researched this. Reading your post actually reminded me of this person's comment. Has anyone else heard this?

My take-away is that I can't afford olive oil...

"What you eat in private, you wear in public." --- Kat

I try to avoid soy/corn/canola.
I use organic oils like coconut, sunflower, walnut, macadamia, avocado, hemp seed oil..etc..
for frying - saute - I use coconut oil, ghee, bacon fat, or other high temperature oils.. I also use palm oil..
if I don't want coconut flavor in my food - I use refined coconut oil (also organic)
I don't like most olive oils - and if i use any - i use organic EVOO only - small qty - so I can afford that. lol.
I was not aware that most EVOO are tampered with.. ugh..
