MUFA #3:  Oils


I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil for dressings and any thing that doesn't need to be cooked.  Unlike refined Olive Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil should never be heated above 200 to 250 degrees.  Heating Extra Virgin Olive Oil decreases its nutritional value.  Heating past its smoke point turns the oil rancid and releases dangerous free radicals in its smoke.


I use a blend of Canola oil for baking (yes I can bake again and actually eat what I bake!).



Found this at the Whole Foods Store but have not tried it yet.


I use Flax Seed Oil for smoothies.  I keep this in the fridge.
