Summary
In today’s episode,Dr. Jockers explains why oxidative stability is more important than smoke point when choosing cooking oils. He shares how saturated fats like coconut oil and grass-fed butter are the best options for cooking.
You'll also learn why oils high in polyunsaturated fats, like canola and soybean, should be avoided due to their instability when heated.
