Back on topic, I'll use the oil for marinades, to save using my stock of Extra Virgin olive oil, as that solidifies in the fridge anyway.

Personally, I think 308 baht for part refined and part virgin olive oil was too much. I haven't used Ghee in my dishes prior to this, as I only prepare Indian food occasionally. Obtaining it as a reasonable price makes more sense.

All will be fine provided that you restrict yourself to polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Please always select fats with two or more carbon-carbon double bonds.

Thank you.

Your post appears to be nonsense...again.

Are you suggesting that I avoid the monounsaturated fat in EVOO?

I am suggesting that polyunsaturated fats consumption carries less risk and greater benefit for health.

Probably not a good idea to cook with EVOO.

That isn't what you wrote initially and I don't agree with it anyway. But, thanks.

Gee. The science has not changed during the past 24 hours.

My reading of the sciences has not changed, either.

I am still correct in what I stated and what I now state.

Also, please stop eating any partially hydrogenated oils, even though they are to be found in many modern manufactured foods.

I am clarifying for you that monounsaturated fats have one carbon-carbon double bond.

I am saying that the double bond in the carbon chain of monounsaturated fats causes these molecules to be bent.

So, I am saying, for hearth health, then....GET KINKY....

This is essentially what I am saying.

Kinky is good....!!!!

Stop cluttering up the thread with your nonsense.

I mentioned Olive oil, specifically EVOO and the monounsaturated fatty acid within. You have not addressed the fact that you suggested that one should utilise only polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Please do so or please go away. This thread is for posting Big C promos and sales.

My problem with these promotions of reputable and reliable Extra-Virgin Olive Oil is that there are only very minor discounts, and the product is overpriced to begin with.

Also, When on promotion, then often limited quantity or out of stock.

What use are they promotions...anyway?

I can get the same offer at Macro PRO even when not on promotion.

The price is still BT.780.

I wish these companies would not use the word promotion until they REALLY have something useful to crow about.

IF Big-C had a REAL promotion of HIGH-GRADE Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, then I would buy it.

But, do they?

Will they in the future?

This is why I often question the usefulness of these so-called promotions.

Am I wrong?

The prices posted here are often for particular stores/locations. Note that you are posting in the Pattaya section...

I like reading his nonsense.

The nonsense was that he asserted that one should only choose Polyunsaturated fats when I wrote about olive oil. When I asked about monounsaturated fatty acids in olive oil, he just began to post nonsense.

It's all okay, no big deal.

I agree.

No big deal.

However, here is the justification for stating what I previously stated:

Also, this same comparison between monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats, relating to their risks and benefits, is available in reputable textbooks.

There are graphs that show this comparison.

I can search a few textbooks and post the images of the pages and graphs here, if you like....

Ups to you....

Meanwhile, here is the data in the graph from the textbook:
