This might sound insane but did you know that not all oils can be used for cooking? A lot of people lately think that they can use any oil to prepare their meals. Unfortunately, this isn’t true.

For example olive oil, everyone knows that that olive oil has so many great health benefits, but what they may not know is that olive oil is only recommended to use on salads and unheated foods.

Olive Oil Has a Very Low Smoke Point!

A smoke point is a temperature of which the oil begins to boil and or smoke. If the oil gets heated above this point, then it shouldn’t be used for cooking or exposed to heat. It changes the way it tastes and it’s harmful to the body rather than helpful. The heating process causes the oil to lose its valuable antioxidants and releases harmful toxins in the air you’re breathing. It also leads to the formation of carcinogenic free radicals.

Why Coconut Oil is a Better Choice?

Coconut oil is one of the best and healthiest oils to be used in cooking. Coconut oil has a medium chain fatty acid that once consumed turns into energy. It doesn’t harm you once it’s heated, which is the cause in olive oil. Coconut oil is full of saturated fats and lauric acid. For this oil to have all the benefits, it must be organic coconut oil.

People who are not a fan of coconut oil, or are allergic to it, can use grape seed oil as a substitute.
