In today’s fast-paced world, dietary choices are often slim, leading to reliance on convenient but potentially unhealthy options. Options like takeout, fast food, or highly processed, ready-made foods on grocery store shelves may contain harmful seed oils that contribute to inflammation and other common ailments.
In an EpochTV episode of Vital Signs, host Brendon Fallon spoke with biochemical researcher Dayan Goodenowe about which foods and oils are helping or hurting our bodies.
Cooking Oils
When examining cooking oils, Goodenowe, who holds a doctorate in medicine and psychiatry, said it’s important to first look at why the body needs oil and fat. The distinction between fat and oil lies in their state at room temperature: fats are solid, such as butter or lard, while oils are liquid, like canola or olive oil.
