  1. conclusion –
    Use Extra vergin olive oil for garnishing or/and low to mid cooking not for frying.

    Use Canola oil for cooking.

    Don't eat high fat fried foods!

    Ultimately keep your fat calories low. It's in end are fats.

    Eat Flaxseeds , Pumpkin seeds, Humpseeds directly.

  2. Silly video. Why didn't he cover things that people actually use? Like vegetable oil, corn oil, peanut oil, etc. Who cares about flaxseed if you can't cook with it? Might as well not even include it.

  3. Because I live in southern europe, it is easy for me to find realiable good quality EVOO, so it's the one I have at home for any general oil uses. I also really love its taste because it's such a huge part of traditional cuisine here and I grew up having it all the time.
    I definitely see how flax can be considered healthier, but I wonder if it really is in the practice, since it's so unstable and it oxidizes so quickly. I have never tried it myself, but I've been told it has a mild "fishy" flavour (I'm guessing from the omega-3s), which I'm interested in for culinary reasons, but then again, if you can't cook it, ehhhh.
    Thanks for the video!

  4. The fact that a random coconut-oil-eating Thai is 10 times healthier than a random olive-oil-eating American is the perfect proof that this ranking is completely BS and also, the numbers in this comparison don't matter at all. Comparing anything without mentioning the amount of consumption, is basically lying to people. For me, only two things about oil are important – natural process and moderate consumption.

  5. So extra virgin olive oil for cooking, flaxseed oil for salads. Or if you're broke like me, canola oil for cooking, extra virgin olive oil for salads or flaxseed oil for salads when you are feeling like treating yourself. Throw some fish and nuts in there and you got your fats covered.

  6. Saturated fats are not inherently bad for us. It's highly processed and refined oils that are unhealthy. They're heated extensively, mixed with chemicals that are not food. This causes significant inflammation, which leads to diseases (including heart disease). This guy is spreading misinformation ):

  7. omega 6 shrinks testicles, you forgot that study. You also did not consider how many farm animals, like cows and pigs and chickens, are fed corn, which will increase the omega 6 content in their bodies, which we eat. You have some good material in here, but you lack awareness of scientism – next time look at who funded all of these studies, and don't forget that most olive oil is mafia-sold, and mostly oxidized/damaged
