Eggs, carbs, bacon, grilling, frying\u2026 with so much inconsistent information, what are we supposed to believe is good for us?<\/p>\n

Now we hear that cooking with vegetable oil may be cancerous.<\/p>\n

This is a complete turnaround from when we were told that oils rich in polyunsaturated fats (think corn oil, vegetable oil and sunflower oil) were much healthier than the saturated fats in animal products.<\/p>\n

Turns out, scientists have now found that when these polyunsaturated fats are heated up \u2013 like they would be when used to cook \u2013 they release high concentrations of chemicals called aldehydes which are linked to cancer.<\/p>\n

A single meal of chicken fingers and fries prepared using vegetable oil contains between 100 and 200 times more aldehydes than the World Health Organization says is safe to consume in an entire day.<\/p>\n

As if cancer wasn\u2019t a big enough worry, a professor at Oxford University says that corn and sunflower oils hurt your brain.<\/p>\n

Vegetable oils, which are rich in omega 6 acids, reduce omega 3 fatty acids in the brain. Professor Martin Grootveld told the BBC, \u201cI believe the lack of omega 3 is a powerful contributory factor to such problems as increasing mental health issues and other problems such as dyslexia.\u201d<\/p>\n

This new evidence suggests that when you start altering the pure forms of these cooking oils, including subjecting them to high heat \u2013 and that\u2019s in the oven, too, not just the frying pan \u2013 that complex chemical reactions take place and they morph into dangerous, toxic compounds.<\/p>\n

For my health and my family\u2019s, I\u2019ve decided to run my kitchen the way my Grandma ran hers.<\/p>\n

The words processed and refined weren\u2019t found on any of the labels in her pantry and they won\u2019t be found in mine anymore.<\/p>\n

Here are some time-tested, grandmother approved alternatives to vegetable oils.<\/p>\n

Butter: Butter simply fell victim to bad publicity. Starting in the 1970s it became the scapegoat cause of coronary heart disease. Despite millions of dollars spent on studies, scientists haven\u2019t been able to prove that there\u2019s a link. Butter is completely natural and essential to your health. Butter even helps to prevent diseases including arthritis and osteoporosis\u2026 both of which happen to be major cash cows for pharmaceutical companies.<\/p>\n

Lard: Another victim of bad P.R., lard was once the \u201cit\u201d fat that people cooked with. Now it\u2019s a derogatory term for fat people. But what\u2019s really turning Americans into lard-asses isn\u2019t actually lard\u2014which is natural, rendered pig fat\u2014but instead it\u2019s the man-made crap we eat in the name of \u201chealth.\u201d Lard is considered a stable fat and therefore doesn\u2019t turn in to trans fat when heated.<\/p>\n

Coconut oil: Coconut oil has only recently become popular in the United States, but people in costal Asia have been using it for years. Coconut oil raises the levels of high density lipoproteins in your body which lower bad cholesterol, boost immunity and fight aging. BONUS: Coconut oil increases your metabolism and helps you lose weight. Coconut oil has a long shelf life and is very affordable.<\/p>\n

These healthy oils, which all produce safe amounts of aldehydes when exposed to high temperatures, also balance your hormones and improve heart health and vision. They also give you glowing skin and more energy\u2026 just like Grandma had!<\/p>\n
