Thinking
I would like to know what are the best and healthiest oils to cook with and which ones to avoid. And what is the best temperature to cook the good oils?
Answer
1. virgin coconut oil or refined expeller pressed coconut oil. The refined one is the one without the coconutty taste. If you do get the refined one, make sure it's not hydrogenated and not treated with chemicals to deodorize it.
2. palm oil. Look for sustainable palm oil.
3. grass fed butter and grass fed ghee.
4. lard from pastured pigs.
5. cold pressed extra virgin olive oil. I don't recommend this for cooking. It's really best to be used for cold purposes or finishing touches to a dish.
I like these oils and recommend them over vegetable oils and margarine because it's heat and light stable which means it doesn't oxidize easily, it's low in omega 6 because we are already getting too much omega 6 from our diets and the low omega 6 means it doesn't cause inflammation, it's GMO free, and it's traditional oils used way before vegetable oils and margarine were invented.
Don't believe the myth about how bad saturated fat and cholesterol. It's just a myth. We need the healthy and right fats for our body to function and to be healthy.

Coconut oil making my eczema worse and drier?
T
I've started using coconut oil for my severe eczema after seeing great reviews about it. After 2 days, it seems that my skin has become extremely dry. It's not flaky like usual, but it seems as if it sucks up the oil very rapidly even though I put more on. Should I keep using it a couple more days or another week or is this a sign that I should stop? And does anyone know why this is happening?
Answer
I prefer olive oil. A lot of other oils are just too light, because my skin is really dry also. I use a Cocoa Butter lotion too though. I put them both on back to back while my skin is still wet from the shower.
Cortizone cream helps with the itching too, if you have that. It's really good with moisturizing and healing dry itchy skin.
Cetaphil also makes a really good skin cream that is really good for dry sensitive skin.
Don't forget to drink lots of water, and take a multivitamiin every day. Helps a lot. I also take an Omega 3/6 pill, and a Vitamin E pill everyday. They are really great for dry skin.
Best of Luck.
