Summary of Transcript:
The video discusses different seed oils and which ones are bad for cooking or consumption. The focus is on linoleic acid, which is a short-chain omega-6 fatty acid that can cause harm in excess. Linoleic acid is present in corn oil, canola oil (unless it is organic and glyphosate-free), grape seed oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil (which also contains lectins), safflower oil, and sunflower oil. Soybean oil is also problematic due to the glyphosate it usually contains. The video recommends cooking with non-toasted sesame oil, perilla oil, non-GMO canola oil, and olive oil. Smoke point should not be the primary factor when choosing oil, and it is important to check the total carbohydrate content of processed foods, as they often contain bad oils and high amounts of carbs. Additionally, the video mentions the dangers of selenium poisoning from consuming too many Brazil nuts.

Improving Health Through Proper Oil Use
Good quality oils can be essential for your health. Particularly when minding lectin intake, the right oils can truly enhance the flavor profile of your favorite dishes while increasing your longevity. However, not all oils should be used for cooking. Dr. Gundry believes that olive oil is one of the best oils that you can use for cooking.
Different Types of Oils
It is important to remember that not all oils are created equal. Although there are a variety of oils on the market, all of which serve different purposes, it’s essential to select the right oils that can provide optimal health benefits.
Dr. Gundry recommends that you stay away from oils with high amounts of Omega-6 fatty acids like sunflower oil, corn oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, and sesame oil. Though they can still have benefits, most of these oils drive up inflammation in your body, contributing to the development of many chronic diseases.
Olive Oil – Your Best Choice
Extra-virgin olive oil is one of the best oils to cook with. Cold-pressed and free of any procedures that expose the oil to high heat, chemicals or solvents, the production process helps maintain all the healthy properties of the oil.
Extra-virgin olive oil is high in monounsaturated fatty acids which have been shown to decrease total and LDL cholesterol levels, helping to reduce your risk of heart disease. Olive oil is also high in antioxidants, which protect your body from free radical damage and contribute to healthy aging.
In addition, studies show that extra-virgin olive oil may also have anti-inflammatory benefits that can help with arthritis, cancer, and other chronic diseases.
Choosing the Right Olive Oil
Although extra-virgin olive oil is the most preferred type of olive oil, it is important to identify quality oil, because not all extra virgin olive oils are created equal. Dr. Gundry suggests the following when picking out olive oil:
– The bottle should be dark and opaque, reducing the amount of light exposure.
– The bottle should show harvesting date so you know you’re getting fresh oil.
– Choose unfiltered oil which still contains the healthy nutrients of the olive oil
With this advice, you can ensure that you’re getting the best quality extra virgin olive oil to use in your daily diet.
Cooking with Olive Oil
Extra-virgin olive oil is also great for cooking because it has a high smoke point, which means it can be heated to high temperatures without burning or breaking down chemically. This is important if you want to cook food at high temperatures without oxidizing or burning the oil, which can turn it into a toxin.
Using Extra-Virgin Olive Oil for Cooking
In conclusion, when it comes to healthy cooking, it’s important to choose the right oils. Many experts suggest that extra-virgin olive oil is one of the best oils to use in cooking and for good reason. Olive oil has been known to have excellent health benefits and has even been linked to increased longevity. So, the next time you are looking to add a tasty and healthy touch to your cooking, consider using extra-virgin olive oil – but make sure to check for quality before adding it to your diet.
