Check cooking oil products in your house

submitted by Quirckey to whatever 1 weekDec 2, 2025 14:31:08 ago (+9/-1)     (whatever)

Check ingredients and if you notice GMO or "Genetically-engineered"-anything, discard it. That is a cancer generator.

I also recommend not using corn-based oil.

Butter, animal fats, avocado oil, grapeseed oil, and good quality olive oil.
Canola is industrial poison, corn is bad, sunflower or safflower is not quite as bad.

I thought canola was the good oil? As far as any oil can be good I mean. Cripes who to believe!

Canola aka Canadian Oil, is made from rapeseeds and was created as an industrial machine lubricant and later exported as "vegetable" oil. It is particularly high in linoleic acid which competes in the human brain for DHA receptors which are directly linked to brain development and intelligence.

It is incidentally also what they manufacturer linoleum from.

So, more info.

Canola = CANadian Oil Low Acid.

They process it to lower the acids, rendering it safer to eat.*


I don't eat any oil the requires process. I get olive oil direct from a greek importer, and totally vetted the supplier.

Ghee, Butter, Lard, and sometimes peanut oil (I know, but I cook really hot sometimes, and the wuss oils don't hold up).

Furthermore: rapeseed oil is rancid and deodorized. It is a highly oxidized inflammatory oil.

If I start to consume too much of it, I break out with pimples and can feel it in my muscles.

Who do you get your olive oil from?

[ - ] HelenHighwater 1 point 1 weekDec 2, 2025 20:33:07 ago (+1/-0)

It is a one man greek importer a few miles from me, the oil is Critida sitia, I buy the large cans. Fantastic price point if you can find it.

Sacrilege! Olive Oil must come from Italy!!!

[ - ] HelenHighwater 1 point 1 weekDec 3, 2025 16:33:31 ago (+1/-0)

Italian oils definitely have their merits. I feel like greek oils are an insider secret.

Hey Hellie... What would you say are your top two or three go-to Greek oil brands that you've tried and really liked? (asking for a friend) ;-)

[ - ] HelenHighwater 0 points 1 weekDec 3, 2025 20:23:49 ago (+0/-0)

I only know the one. I mean, seriously, greeks have good olive oil?

[ - ] PostWallHelena 2 points 1 weekDec 2, 2025 15:01:12 ago (+2/-0)

Canola oil is real bad. Most of the vegetable oils require high heat processing and many chemicals to purify them. It turns out this creates damaging free radicals in the oil. Saturated oils can withstand high heat. Vegetable oils like olive should be unheated (virgin). I dont think you can process canola an corn oil that way.

So is olive oil a good choice? I was crushing 3-4 cloves of garlic every night into a shot glass full of olive oil. Nothing special about the oil but I heard olive oil was anti cancer as with the garlic so that's how I was taking it. I initially started taking it on pizza. I'd take a piece of Aldi pizza, cheese, and put pepperoni on it and then cover that with white mushroom slices, fresh. Then I'd put a buttload of crushed garlic, that I crushed myself. I think I put something else on it and called that my anti cancer pizza and it was actually quite good. BUUUUUUUT, Kristen said I was waking her up at night with the garlic leaching out my pours? Does that make sense? She said she couldn't stand it anymore and that's when I changed to crushing it up and putting it in a shot glass of olive oil. That was better she said.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 1 point 1 weekDec 2, 2025 23:39:34 ago (+1/-0)

Extra virgin olive oil is almost always cold pressed. Non-EV or “lite” olive oil is from secon and third press and requires more heating an chemicals for oil extraction. Thats not good.

Raw EV olive oil is healthiest, but using is for a low heat saute is probably ok. Saturated fats like butter, lard, coconut oil are healthier for frying.

BUUUUUUUT, Kristen said I was waking her up at night with the garlic leaching out my pours? Does that make sense?

Lol. Yeah you don’t have to OD on the garlic. Keep the peace. Strike a balance.

Interesting

Canola oil is one of the worst. If you have any, use it for industrial purposes or just throw it out.

[ - ] Gowithit 1 point 1 weekDec 2, 2025 15:59:35 ago (+3/-2)*

Usually around the 50-60 year old mark is when I see women change to using it from vegetable oil after doctors recommend it to them for their cholesterol.

@whitecollarcriminal

This is probably why you thought it was the better option.

[ - ] WhiteCollarCriminal 1 point 1 weekDec 2, 2025 19:45:43 ago (+1/-0)

I can't honestly remember a time when I didn't believe conola was the healthier choice. Good fucking grief after what I've read today I'll never use it again!

Butter, animal fats including tallow and suet, coconut oil for cooking.
Not avocado oil, or grapeseed oil.

Extra virgin cold pressed early harvest single origin olive oil for dressing

Before "liberal" women all women cooked with vegetable or animal lard. THey don't like the sound of the word "lard" because their entire personality is based on the word association game the media program uses and it's in the schools.

Find yourself an ANTI LIBERAL girl under 23 and lead her to learn how to cook.

Other people have already said it, but I'll repeat it: avoid processed oils such as canola / rapeseed and sunflower.

Virgin olive oil is good.

Go to your local store and try to find processed food that doesn't contain canola or sunflower oil.

[ - ] BoozyB 2 points 1 weekDec 2, 2025 21:31:27 ago (+2/-0)

Here is a link to an explanation of solvent extraction of oil from oilseeds (soybean, canola, sunflower, etc.)
You will avoid "vegetable" oils after you read this.

Anything that uses transgenic shit is slop

I think you mean "bioengineered food product". Anyway, once you read the info below be sure to thoroughly cook whatever you eat before consuming and make your own dipping sauces if you don't have completely control over your food supply from soil to your plate. Seems to be increasingly prevalent in products that are ready to eat like sauces, spreads, and breads, but once you read below you'll realize the only way to increase your food safety is to cook everything to accelerate the chemical breakdown of the presumed cancer generator agent.

A bioengineered (BE) food product is defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) as food that contains detectable genetic material modified through certain laboratory techniques, such as in vitro recombinant DNA methods, which could not be obtained through conventional breeding or found in nature. This term is used under the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard (NBFDS), which became mandatory for food manufacturers, importers, and retailers starting January 1, 2022. The law requires disclosure on packaging through options such as a text statement ("Contains a bioengineered food ingredient"), the USDA-approved BE symbol, a digital link (e.g., QR code), or a phone number for information.

The USDA maintains a list of bioengineered foods, including crops like corn, soybeans, canola, cotton, sugar beets, papaya (ringspot virus-resistant), potatoes, apples (Arctic varieties), and salmon (AquAdvantage®), as well as derived ingredients.
However, the labeling standard includes significant exemptions: highly refined ingredients (such as sugar from GMO sugar beets or oil from GMO canola) that do not contain detectable modified genetic material are not required to be labeled, even if they originate from bioengineered sources. Similarly, products where meat, poultry, or eggs are the first or second ingredient, or where the first ingredient is water or broth, are exempt from disclosure, regardless of other GMO ingredients present.


Because of these exemptions and the focus on detectable genetic material, some products made with genetically engineered ingredients—especially those using newer techniques like CRISPR that may not leave detectable DNA—may not require a BE label.
As a result, the absence of a bioengineered label does not guarantee a product is free from GMOs, leading some consumer groups to advocate for more comprehensive labeling. The Non-GMO Project Butterfly certification is often recommended as a more reliable way to avoid genetically engineered ingredients.

Yes, I mean the oils that come from genetically engineered crops. It usually marks it on the labeling in some way.

My cooking oil is bacon-based. Used to use avocado and olive oils, but two slices of thick cut bacon produced enough grease for anything else I cook today.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 2 points 1 weekDec 2, 2025 14:56:39 ago (+2/-0)

Ive never seen “genetically engineered” or GMO in any ingredient list. They aren’t required to disclose it. I use coconut oil, EV olive oil, and butter.

[ - ] WhiteCollarCriminal 2 points 1 weekDec 2, 2025 14:49:14 ago (+2/-0)

Use carrot based EVERYTHING! Carrots are an anti-carcinogenic.

I don't doubt you but can you please provide the studies showing these seed oils causing cancer?

See this study that was put here, and they pulled it down due to "Concerns over validity of data":
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0278691512005637

Mainstream is absolutely pressuring researchers and censoring the internet. All the stuides shown in mainstream search engines are there to dive head first into debunking the claim instead of researching the oil. I think the situation itself is another proof.
