Oils

Did you know that OILS are one of the leading causes of disease in America?

Not cold-pressed olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil. These are excellent to incorporate into your diet.

However, corn oil, vegetable oil, canola oil, sesame oil and all of the other blends have now been linked to heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and obesity! These oils are highly inflammatory and toxic!!

1 serving of large McDonald's french fries (fried with an oil blend) has the same amount of toxicity as 20 cigarettes due to the molecular compound. WOW!

You may not think that you're consuming much oil, so do me a favor… this week, check the labels on all of your packaged foods. Check for oil ingredients and make a tally of how many you've consumed. It may be more than you think!

Detoxifying your food and your body from these harmful oils can do a world of good for your body. Replace cooking oil with vegetable stock or plain old water when sautéing.

Olive oil is best consumed once cooking is complete. Heating the oil may cause it to lose some of its healthful benefits.
