New Discoveries
Avoid Unhealthy Seed Oils with This New Restaurant Finding App
Attention health-conscious foodies…
Are you unknowingly consuming a silent threat every time you dine out and savor a delicious new dish?
Seed oils, also known as vegetable oils, are commonly used in restaurant kitchens, but they can pose health risks when consumed in excess. This includes the likes of canola oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, corn oil, safflower oil, and cottonseed oil, which are all widely used in cooking and food preparation. Yet, these oils are high in omega-6 fatty acids, which, when consumed in large amounts, can contribute to inflammation and increase the risk of various health issues, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and autoimmune disorders.
There are plenty of healthier alternatives to seed oils, but many restaurants refuse to use them because seed oils are far cheaper. Ideally, a restaurant should prepare and cook your food using olive oil or avocado oil, which are rich in monounsaturated fats and have been linked to various health benefits. Coconut oil is another good option, as it contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are metabolized differently and may have health benefits. For high-heat cooking, such as frying, coconut oil, ghee (clarified butter), and palm oil are good alternatives that can withstand high temperatures without breaking down.
If you're a food enthusiast like me who values your health (including when dining out), I highly recommend downloading the Seed Oil Scout app.
With Seed Oil Scout, you can easily navigate your dining options, with each establishment rated from safe to unsafe based on their oil choices. It's like having a personal guide to healthy eating right at your fingertips. Plus, you can connect with fellow diners, share your findings, and contribute to a community dedicated to promoting wellness.
You can download the Seed Oil Scout app here.
