About the book
From the bestselling authors of My SuperHero Foods comes The Ultimate Guide to Avoiding Seed Oils in Your Kitchen, which cuts through the confusion about healthy vs. unhealthy fats by providing a helpful balance of practical tips and background information so you feel confident deciding what fats to buy and cook with.
Like us, you care about your family’s health, and we want to help empower you to make informed (and delicious!) decisions.
The latest scientific research shows that highly-processed and refined seed oils like soybean oil, safflower oil, canola oil, and generic “vegetable oil” can be linked to many health conditions and diseases, including metabolic dysfunction, poor immune response, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, disruption of the gut biome, autoimmune disease, fatigue, mood disorders, and more. These industrialized fats are stripped of their nutritional value, which is then replaced by toxic byproducts that wreak havoc on our bodies.
Luckily, there are lots of healthy and tasty alternatives to these harmful oils!
In this comprehensive, beautifully designed and illustrated easy-to-read guide, you’ll learn:
- What seed oils are, where they came from, and why they’re so unhealthy
- How to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy fats
- Where oils like sesame oil and peanut oil fit on the spectrum
- Our recommendations of the best fats to cook with
- Helpful tips about buying, storing, and cooking with each fat
The guide also includes TWO printable quick reference charts that you can use at home or at the store:
- Linoleic Acid Content and Processing Chart which gives you all of the information you need to know regarding the oils to buy and the oils to leave in the shelf.
- Healthy Cooking Fats Cheat Sheet which shares trusted brands, applications for our favorite fats, tips, and more.
