Seed oils hurt the body avoid them like the plague
Yes! [Most] seed oils are terrible for you. Canola oil is among the worst. It's actually rapeseed oil, heavily processed and 90% of it is GMO -- and it's in everything these days -- often the #1 or #2 ingredient in salad dressings, mayo-type products, and in smaller amounts used in a huge number of packaged foods. Restaurants often use it because it's cheaper than, say, olive oil.
What is good for frying? Olive oil can't do it. My wife makes fried food sometimes and I tell her not to use canola. I got her grapeseed oil instead, but she says that it tastes "heavier" and she doesn't like it. Corn oil is the pits, too. I thought maybe safflower oil, but that would be another seed oil...
This! After 20 years eating in a totally retarded fashion and taking cholesterol medication I said "F*** it" and stopped with the stupid statins, gave up anything with seeds in it (and starch and rice and corn) and started having a fried breakfast every morning. Never felt better, bloating all gone. My conclusion, the health profession is trying to kill us all. Bastards. Price of butter has gone through the roof (makes sense moo juice is our main export produce) but I never thought of using lard like my Dad did when I was little - going to give it a go.
I'm 60 yrs old and can tell you from experience that up until the mid 80s or so, McDonalds had the best tasting french fries. They started to suck when under health conscious pressure, they switched from animal fats to vegetable oil.
The other thing with Mc Donalds - the company that manufactured the fries used to dip the fries in beef broth before flash freezing them. Gave them a taste boost but then had to stop when word got out that their fries weren't all 'potato', and especially ticked off the vegetarians who had been eating them for years.
You are absolutely correct. I was speaking to a donut shop owner. He told me that he has to add gallons of vegetable oil after frying donuts. He tried using animal fat and he didn't need to add oil at the end of the day. He did some research and apparently, the fat sears the food almost instantly and doesn't allow a lot of oil absorption. The same is apparently true for fried chicken. Crispy and dark fried on the outside, moist and cooked perfectly on the inside. Furthermore, margarine is crap.
Below; oils to use raw, on salads or other foods, but not to cook with:
Organic extra virgin olive oil [slow cooking at low temps is OK, per a different section of the book - Narg]
Walnut oil
Almond oil
Macadamia oil
Sesame oil
Tahini (sesame seed paste)
Flax oil
Hemp oil
Fats and oils to AVOID:
Soybean oil
Canola oil
Corn oil
Safflower oil
Sunflower oil
Palm oil
Peanut oil
Vegetable oil
Vegetable shortening
Margarine and all other butter substitutes, including the newest ones, which actually include butter among the ingredients
Anything that says "hydrogenated' -- it's poison
Anything else that looks fake
One caution: many GOOD oils on the market are adulterated with cheaper oils, including (perhaps even especially) olive oil from Italy, where criminal gangs apparently make drug-lord amounts of money adulterating olive oil (per Dr. Hyman). Be careful of your source! I buy California Estate Organic Extra Virgin olive oil from Life Extension mainly because LEF is careful about ingredients in what they sell.
At this point, I wonder if just using animal fat is best, frying stuff in lard. Here in Japan, that's probably out of the question. Recently my doc tried to put me on statins for high cholesterol, but I refused. I need to lose weight and I've cut back on the booze. I'll test again in a few months.
When I started my current job, I had a cholesterol problem. It was 240. Old operator at the plant told me to start using habenero peppers on everything I ate. 6 months later, my cholesterol was down to 190. It currently is 140, and I've been eating habenero peppers for 18 years. Obviously not straight. But we use them in everything we cook. Fiancé has been published in Gooseberry Patch about 40 times over the years using our peppers
Funny you mention that. I was just searching for a healthier mayo for sandwiches. I did find this though not cheap, Primal Kitchen, Mayo, Avocado Oil. It claims all ingredients are organic. It's tasty too. Everything seems to be filled with soybean oil too, 🤮
Depending on what kind of sandwiches you eat, I’ve found things like guacamole, hummus, and taziki make a delicious alternative. I also add pickled onions. My daughter is works at a vegan deli and I’ve found some things I really enjoy!

Animal fats Beef tallow,pork and butter everything they told you to stay away from.

I remember…
You Fukers are making me hungry

I’m going to do this. I just made beef tallow from brisket trimmings. Beef fried chicken. That’s going to be interesting.
Beef fat for donuts freaked my wife out, but it is delicious.
All of the above animal oils esp if grassfed... Also coconut oil and avocado oil have higher smoke points so good for frying.
If you could get a grass fed beef tallow I believe that would be the healthiest.
I like to fry with avocado oil myself.
Whatever Grandma Walton used. People used to live on fried foods and lived long, healthy lives.
My mom used to use bacon grease. LOL
I use it when I can as did my grandparents. It just makes everything taste good lol
Gramma had a coffee can for bacon grease on the counter .
IMO, nothing is good for frying. Fried food is often tasty but never very good for one's health, and often (especially long-term) very unhealthy.

Here's Dr. Mark Hyman's list of oils:

Good question! I use olive but it's not the best due to it's lower smoke point. It sucks people are trying to poison us! 😡

Never take statins
Lowering cholesterol is an unnecessary exercise
Every cell in the body makes it. If you lower it artificially, the body makes more.
Endless cycle
Thus, Big Pharma makes gazillion$ off cholestetol lowering drugs
Other numbers are way more meaningful for health
--Random guy on internet who says he has a degree in human biology and a D.C. :)
Good luck, fren! Don't forget to sweat a little bit!
Animal fat is my go to, if possible. If not olive oil. Animal fat for deep frying especially.
