- Don't eat cooked oils, which means all oils on the supermarket shelf..
- as they are ALL heat processed,
Use organic butter or ghee, coconut oil, animal dripping/lard for cooking,
WHY ? Because animal fats are not damaged by heat.
Oils- Use Pure cold-pressed olive oil/avocado oil etc for salads.
Buy organic cold pressed oils only in dark glass bottles
Why? because light makes oils rancid/bad. - 1. weeksmd.com/cardiologist-rethinking-the-inflammation/illness
