15: Cooking with Healthy Fats! (aka Put Down the Canola Oil!)
With all of the mixed messages out there on store shelves, in the media, and even in conventional medicine -- it can be really difficult to understand which fats are best to eat and cook with. Hopefully you're well aware that healthy fats are essential to a healthy body. Fats and oils help form cell membranes, which means that poor quality fats are at the root of many health problems as they effect even the most basic cellular function.
During this week's episode, Cassie shares about one of the most common questions asked in her nutrition practice -- "which cooking oils are the safest & healthiest to cook with?" We geek out about...
Inflammation
why broccoli and butter are THE BEST
classifications of fats
chemical structure of fats
smoke point vs. optimal heat for cooking oils
how to prioritize your budget for higher quality fats
why it’s important to choose pasture raised animals
hydrogenation & partial hydrogenation of oils
