Cooking Oil
Coconut oil all the way for me, makes great chips, the nutrition doctors on social media put me off Canola and seed oils a long time ago, when you learn how they are made. Coconut oil is relatively cheap in Thailand, about b20 more than seed oils. This From Perplexity AI Canola oil and other seed oils have been subjects of health concerns, particularly regarding their fatty acid composition and potential health impacts. In contrast, coconut oil is often considered a healthier alternative, but it also has its own set of considerations. Health Dangers of Canola Oil and Seed Oils High Omega-6 Fatty Acids: Canola oil and many seed oils (like soybean and corn oil) are high in omega-6 fatty acids. While these fats are essential, excessive intake can lead to an imbalance with omega-3 fatty acids, potentially promoting inflammation and related health issues such as heart disease 1 . Processing Methods: Many seed oils undergo extensive processing, including refining, bleaching, and deodorizing. These processes can involve high heat and chemical treatments, which may lead to the formation of harmful compounds like trans fats and oxidized fats that are detrimental to health 1 . Potential for Heart Disease: Some studies suggest that diets high in omega-6 fatty acids and low in omega-3s may increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. This is attributed to the inflammatory response triggered by an imbalance in these fatty acids 1 . Is Coconut Oil a Better Alternative? Coconut oil is often touted as a healthier alternative for several reasons: Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs): Coconut oil contains a significant amount of MCTs, which are metabolized differently than long-chain fatty acids found in many seed oils. MCTs can provide quick energy and may support weight management 1 . Antimicrobial Properties: Coconut oil has been shown to possess antimicrobial properties due to lauric acid, which can help combat harmful bacteria and viruses 1 . Stability at High Temperatures: Coconut oil is more stable at high temperatures compared to many seed oils, making it a better choice for cooking methods like frying or sautéing without forming harmful compounds 1 . However, it's important to note that coconut oil is high in saturated fat, which has been linked to increased cholesterol levels. Therefore, moderation is key when incorporating it into the diet. In summary, while canola oil and other seed oils pose certain health risks primarily due to their fatty acid profiles and processing methods, coconut oil may offer some benefits as an alternative. Nonetheless, a balanced approach that includes a variety of healthy fats is generally recommended for optimal health. Related -

Problem with constipation at 82.
Like I said, laxatives are fine short term, but it's not good to use them too often. I'd rather try and get regular by using natural products daily. -

BREAKING NEWS Biden lifts restrictions on Ukraine using US weapons to strike deep inside Russia.
I agree Biden is coward. Best to wait and see what actually happens between the Trump and Putin negotiations. Too many fools have already made false predictions on every political thread and the financial system in America. Yet, they continue thinking if they keep repeating the predictions it will come true. The product of grown men who still believe in the boogeyman. -

Lax Law Enforcement Cited for Alarming Road Fatalities in Thailand
Bar stool myth In Thailand, a road death is classified according to internationally accepted definitions, which generally refer to any death resulting from injuries sustained in a road traffic crash. Specifically: Official Classification: A road death includes any person who dies either immediately or within 30 days of a road traffic crash as a result of injuries sustained in that crash. Practical Challenges in Reporting: Underreporting: In practice, there may be discrepancies in recording road deaths due to delays in medical care, incomplete data collection, or misclassification of causes of death. Some deaths that occur outside the initial crash scene, such as at a hospital or later at home, might not always be attributed to the original crash in some records. -
