Hello Doc, thank you first and foremost for your great education. Have had my dad of 82 on keto now for about 24 days, but fir some reason he is feeling weak and sometimes dizzy. He has given up beer and proud of him but has not quit his smoking of 66 yrs. Only medication he is taking is water pills to help his blood pressure stay down and Lisinopril. Any recommendations to stop dizziness? Have been on keto now for 20 days and goal is 30-45 days to see how it feels like being fat adapted. Thank you
I am a physician and a biochemist. You are teaching me so much I feel ashamed. I have changed my diet based on what I have learned and I am extremely grateful. I have been double checking most of what you say and I find countless high quality references for it all. Your knowledge is inspiring.
When you find out vegetable oil isn't made from vegetables. And the American Heart Association's first big funder (coz people didn't have Heart problems therefor not much funding) was the companies that make industrial seed oil
I am an MD. I have done a lot of my own reading and research on the subject (on top of the knowledge I have), this is the best, the most scientifically correct and presented in the most accessible way summary I have ever seen. Fantastic job, as always, Dr Ekberg. Thank you for the work you do.
@@cps_Zen_Run unfortunately, just like everywhere else, physicians come in different mindsets and world views. No one stops us from questioning, researching, reading, learning. When I was graduating medical school, during the speech before handing out the diplomas, the dean said something that stuck with me forever and is the quintessence of a good physician - “ if we have taught you ONE thing, I hope it’s that you know what you don’t know”.
@@jayalexander6798 Unfortunately, the fact is we don't know what we don't know, and most so called educated people believe they know everything. Many are not interested in learning from others unless it's in line with what they already believe.
@@jayalexander6798 You sound as if you've gained some wisdom along with your research. You are a doctor I could probably trust. I've had to fire several of my hubby's doctors, one for medication errors that she blamed on us, and one for fabricating discussions with us that I discovered when I requested a copy of our charts, as well as 2 of mine. Good doctors are open to learning, even from their patients
My heritage is Amish. I have returned to the cooking methods and products of my ancestors. Ghee. Tallow. Lard. EEVO. Coconut. Butter ETC Growing an organic garden, canning, etc. Your information is so cathartic!! I LOVE IT when I'm right 😍❤
im not amish, i dont have a phd. to me its just common sense....and using the flavour buds on your tonge and the smell recipients in your nose...what tastes and smells bad ( or doesnt taste or smell at all) cant be healthy good food just tastes good
That would be great except high school is not there for actual teaching...it’s there for brainwashing and social engineering, just like most government institutions! Even most private school have social agendas and get much of their money from the government!
First time I actually understood the difference between saturated, mono unsaturated and polyunsaturated molecules. I wish my chemistry teachers would have been this clear and articulate. Superb video, Dr.
Its not their job to teach this. Doctors/teachers usually just stick to what they are trained to teach because they have accountability in giving wrong info when they are paid to teach or heal.
Crazy how we are decreasing our life span and life quality with these insane food processes. I feel like this man is literally saving people here. I am very grateful for all the time he put into this to help people.
Ikr…every commercial food these days are all meant for huge consumption so they stimulate taste buds even if means artificial ingredients. This video explains why are not supposed to eat them.
Also the modern lifestyle means people are becoming lazy. They no longer want to take time to prepare food. It’s so much easier and quicker to buy prepared/processed foods.
At 75 yrs. old , I've survived 2 heart attacks and a heart valve replacement. Thank you for all your valuable information. At this late stage of the game I'm a definite convert. Hopefully not too late to make a difference.
My mother used butter for everything. Most things were baked she never made fried chicken etc... She told me very simply " the body knows what to do with butter but not oil". A very simplistic statement but basically what this man said minus the science. Vicki
Remember that used to tell us of margarine was better than butter back in the 70s and 80s? My mother used to buy margarine because she believed that and now we know that's not true always use butter I never use margarine
I cannot skip any of your videos and I will not. Not only because it is food for the brain but because it is truly a food for the brain. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
I had issues with my gallbladder for the past year, they said I was going to have to get it removed, no stones, just pain. I ended up cutting out all vegetable oils and only using lard and tallow, and I haven't had any pain or issues in the past 2 months. I'm not sure why this is, but it worked!
I look forward every Friday morning to Dr. Ekberg’s nutrition class. Everybody should have teachers like this. I love the technical science-based content and practical advice.
Good morning mr. harvard , when I got this notification on cooking oil, I said to my self, I don’t want to hear a video about cooking oil this early in the morning, so I said to myself, I might as well go ahead and listen and learn about oils, and get it over with! I’m glad I watch this video! So now I have listen, and I have learn about oils
A great Spanish nutritionist, Dr. Sánchez Cobian, many years ago, when asked if the famous Mediterranean diet was the best, he replied that he only recommended three things: use olive oil, eat little of everything and always stay with a little hungry...
This video is just unbelievably amazing! I've spent hundreds of hours searching and reading to get the same info you provide in 30 minutes. Excellent job!!!
Im a Registered Nutritionist-Dietitian here in the Philippines 🇵🇭. I really appreciate your updates on all about MUFA PUFA omega 3and 6 and the smoke point, the health consequences in our body. It would really a big help to teach the viewers about the benefits and misconceptions about the use of vegetable oils
This single video. This one source of information and my change in which oils I consume and how I use them has reduced the inflammation in my shoulders and elbows to the point I can exercise again. I can sleep through the night again. I can sit comfortably for extended periods. Thank you!
I am glad someone finally talked about Ghee and Tallow. How and where do you grade walnut and peanut oils for cooking. it has been used for cooking in Persia and India for centuries but not at high tempretures. mustard oil has been used for frying. Furthermore, how is sunflower oil for cooking.
Peanut oil is trash. I never seen walnut oil though. Walnuts in itself have the highest omega 3 in nutz i think. But like the doctor said, it might nut matter when it is turned into an oil.
You can also get free punches in the face from the ME, yeah! But quality butter will strenghten us. Ive never felt better since my switch to saturated fats.
@@ianmiles2505 i'm from Belgium. Holland / the Netherlands are our neighbours. I know they eat a lot of cheese and they are the tallest and probably the most beautiful people in Europe.
i have for the past year and a half been eating almost exclusively beef fats butter and eggs for all my fat intake and i recently got my heart checked out, everything is perfect my blood pressure is consistently around 110/59 and ive actually leaned out quite a bit. Cutting out all the soy and canola oil's really does wonders for the body
I've always used butter and olive oil. Since I've been buying my meat from a local farm, I asked about beef tallow. I've read some amazing things about it. It's easy to render down. I use it in place of butter for a lot of my cooking. It really flavorful. I also use pork lard.
@jakarreh Na I actually don't like the taste of olive oil So I don't use it, I basically put crumbled cheese and salt on salads sometimes vinegar dressing that doesn't have seed oil
@skal9510 Yeah I want to get beef tallow soon and make my own mayonnaise out of it. Because even the mayo that says it's made with olive oil or avocado oil, you look at the ingredients and its also still got soybean oil and canola oil. it's such a scam
I already been using olive oil, coconut oil and butter only, but you explained correctly why not to use for cooking the rest of them, unfortunately the corporation in order to make profit before health are just maximising the end product to something its not food anymore. We can't change them but we can inform and educate our society to choose wiser. Many thanks for you work Dr 🍒
@@aliendroneservices6621 don't know where you live to say something so strange. In Europe good quality olive oil is everywhere. We can get it on farmers markets, in supermarkets, in organic stores. From different European countries and islands.
This gentleman knows and understands what he‘s talking about! So many other presentations are full of people reading a script. I could listen to Dr. Ekberg all day long 💪😊👍 You can tell he really cares about us.
From some of the comments from highly trained professionals, it's scary to think how misinformed they were by all their formal education, then passed on to their patients. Glad to see how this better information is increasing awareness even among practicing physicians.
I airfry as well. Use a refillable pump spray filled with olive oil to crisp up the outside. Not the same as deep frying but way more convenient and healthy.
As your long time subscriber, I can’t tell you how much I appreciated your work to educate us about good and bad about our health. Your explanation about every subject you talking about is plain and simple, easy to understand and it’s one of the best health channels on UA-cam so far! Thank you!!!
I live in Finland and I had no idea what our equivalent of vegetable oil was. I googled and vegetable oils here are almost entirely just canola oil. Really 90% of all cooking oils in the stores are olive oil and canola oil. I have always only used olive oil. I love it on everything I feel I might have some mediterranean genes in me because I could have olive oil on my ice cream… And italian/spanish average life expectancy is almost 84 years and I believe it’s because fish/red meat/olive oil is like 90% of the fats in their diet.
Here in the US canola oil is considered a step above vegetable oil. However obviously olive oil is better. Now I'm hearing that macadamia nut oil maybe even better for health with a higher smoke point for cooking.
Czech Republic, Canola is very common, Sunflower is popular for salads. Lard is quite popular with bread (i guess bread which is common in former austria-hungarian monarchy, not the white one) or for frying.
Here in Spain Olive Oil is everywhere, for salads, for cooking, or just with bread, however sunflower oil is cheaper and is also very common but only for cooking dishes wich require a fat with less flavour or a very high temperature.
Boy this was really good thank you so much! I’ve been cooking with olive oil , coconut and butter for years now. Now I feel better because sometimes I would feel guilty using butter in my cooking. Love this
Of all of the information that you have introduced to me, the facts about oils and cooking with oils has been the biggest shock. Swimming against the tide is not going to be easy, but I have to make these changes in how I cook for my family, and just hope that others can accept it.
Thank You @Jmartestuesday so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
An exceptional person and specialist. Extremely important videos that everyone should see and radically change their thinking and lifestyle. Otherwise there is simply no life. Thank you so very much, Dr.Ekberg!
And don't forget mustard oil that has better nutritional profile than olive oil as well. Erucic acid? no that's not toxic to us who have been consuming for centuries
@@70newlife well that's a first. All my friends from the 'South' loved my mutton and fish dishes prepared with mustard oil. Not only did they stood, but also sweared by the food they ate. None of them got any allergy too. The only ones who erucic acid affect realistically are lab rats. The amount we intake hardly has any affect on humans. A lot of ppl from the north also dislike the smell of coconut oil in food, doesn't mean we all feel the same way So let's all get away with the stereotypes and propaganda
You’re the best. Thanks! I started intermittent fasting a week ago. Lost 3 kilos. First day pretty hard sugar craving wise. Day two that was gone. Cheers! Oh my diet. Two cappuccinos in the morning. One slice of home baked sourdough bread at 1. Low carb meal in the evening. Alcohol only in the weekend.
@@martillyu3922 I’ve stopped losing weight. Still 3 or 4 kilos from when I started. But I feel a whole lot better. I think it is because of eating next to no sugar.
Finally! Excellent explanation of cooking oils and debunking all the myths around this very important subject. I certainly was totally confused. I know what to do now. Thank you very much indeed
As an Indian, I have cooked exclusively in Ghee, Butter, Coconut and Filtered Groundnut Oil. My ancestors put a few thousand years of research into this. And you too have concluded similarly.
Your ancestors were also well known for their historic mustard seed oil, which is a seed oil. In fact I would say India is tied with China is the largest pre industrial producer of seed oils. Though back then they cold pressed it.
@@Frenchfrys17 Cooking with Cold Pressed Mustard Oil would have been a luxury very few people could have afforded in the preindustrial era. Very difficult to extract and even more difficult to store. Mostly used in making Pickles, instead of cooking.
I can’t believe I was duped into thinking avocado oil was a good cooking oil. I now have the motivation to take back two half gallons I bought from Costco. They sell a lot of crappy oils. I saw that you have a video on what oils to buy at Costco, so I’ll check that out. Thanks for the info.
finally found someone who actually said it: our body fat doesn't come directly from the animal fat we eat. mostly that fat comes, like in the case of animals, from sugars which we are fed by the food industry in pretty much any processed food. Amazing video and greatly informative. keep up the good work!
Shame that is wrong and the wrong way to look at it. As with everything it's more complicated than that. The body uses the energy in carbs first (well after alcohol) as they are easier for the body to break down. So if you eat excess calories then the last to be left is the fat. Yes if you eat too many crabs ultimately they will be turned into fat but it's less efficient that simply depositing the fat. I understand that it takes about 30% of the energy in the carbs to turn them into fat. Also fats have 2 time the calories to carbs by mass, so they make it much easier to go over the number of calories you need to survive and thrive. As volume plays a part in the feeling of satiation, you can eat twice as much in the form of carbs and feel fuller and have less calories (preferably whole carbs not processed carbs). So, yes you may get fat by eating too many calories in the form of carbs but it is easier to get over the amount of calories you need in a day with fats and if your over that tipping point it''s the fat over that point that will end up on (or under your ribs). Yes this video make you feel good about your bad habits and help you avoid Omega 6's and some oxidative stresses, that is about all.
I mean it's not a secret, that's literally stuff taught in schools. Has anyone ever said that your body fat comes from oils you eat? Like ever? The issue with oils is how much they affect overall health, not the body mass.
I start using my Walnuts to make my own coldpressed walnut oil for external and internal use from head to toe benefits. I use the pulp for my worms, the green shell for iodene tincture and the brown shell for my fire stove. If I have extra, I use the old moldy Walnuts as cooking charcoal. Nothing is waste.
I have to say a massive thank you to dr Ekberg as these videos have literally changed my life for the better. I’ve been fasting a following some of your tips regarding acv and my mind and body has never felt so good! Thank you 🙏🏽
This is very helpful Dr. Ekberg. But there's at least one oil missing which gets used a lot in Europe: sunflower oil. Basically, if there's any oil in the product, chances are it's either canola or sunflower. I'm guessing it's just as bad as canola, but it would be cool to have the Doc's take on it. One thing we do have going for us though it's no GMO here ( or at least, it shouldn't be by law)
@@clarawilkerson9903 if we go by the favour rule i'd suspect sesame oil is good to go! (plus it's usually added at the very end of the cooking so it should not heat up much)
the best tasting (butter, ghee, olive oil) happen to be the best for you! Yeah! Coconut oil can be incredible too if you find one that doesn't have strong flavor (some don't) or if you like coconut flavor (I do) and want it in something. My cast iron pans are coated in years of these.
@@marisasim8957 Hey Marisa! yes you are right, in fact I think Tom Hanks' chilling words when he was asked for any last words after refusing to cooperate at his tribunal....."You will never shut us down, we are everywhere". If we think the last 18 months has been difficult, wait and see what's coming in the next months and years! By 2023, we should see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it will be for some the final days of their timeline for both sides.....we must stay strong and true to our hearts and know that knowledge and awareness is indeed power! It is also important to understand our own Sovereignty and what that means as some have no idea!
My mind’s blown again. Just when I think I know something.. Eg Avocado oil is best, I find there’s more to it. Nothing’s ever simple. 🥴 Thank God you can explain it. 🧐 What would we do without you? 🤪
@@garryrowland Yeah, he's a real 'Debbie Downer' when it comes to avocado oil, which I have been using. I'm going to read up more on ghee and perhaps make the switch. My only complaint about Dr Ekberg is that his belt is too long 😄
Can’t believe I’d never discovered Dr Ekberg until today. The way he looks at food and our body is exactly what drove me to pursue a degree in the field to get a holistic view. I can’t stop watching these videos on 2X speed. Thanks so much for explaining the whys in such details yet easy to understand🌸
Excellent video again. What I love about your lectures is that you don't just make bold statements but that you explain the logic and the functionality behind it. Bravo! 👏
Ghee still contain some solids(protein and so on), the solids are browned and are there for flavor. Clarified butter on the other hand is only the butter fat, all the solids are discarded. You can see it if you melt it, ghee has solids floating in it, while clarified butter is clear and uniform.
There are two ways of making ghee. It can be made from Curd which is the best way to do it. The other way is to make it from the cream. The latter isn't the best way.
I make my own ghee and try to get all the solids out before cooking with it. I love it. I also use it as a lubricant for jar lids that get stuck and as a skin moisterizer in small quantities.
@@RandomloserDK Fortunately, I am able to buy 5-lb or 50-lb units of coarsely ground beef suet from a family owned grass-fed ranch about an hour down the road.
Love these videos, you and Dr. Cate have changed my life. We moved to home made dressings using unrefined extra virgin avocado oil for over a year. Problem is avocado oil is going through same scams as olive oil did a few years back. A study found most avocado oil is bogus. Look for Avohass, Chosen or Primal brands and look for a label on bottle as to when harvested and expiration. Real unrefined will have green color as this video shows.
I liked your video - very informative. However 1. Could you please analyse Rice bran oil, groundnut oil, sesame (gingely) oil, palm oil, sunflower oil. 2. Could you please clarify if cold pressed oil & physically refined oil are one & the same?
Thank you, I’ve known for years how bad seed oils are but your explanation gave me more insight as to why. One thing I was waiting for you to mention but you didn’t was how they hydrogenate oil to give it a longer shelf life. I thought that was the number one reason to avoid seed oil. I hope you can respond to this. Thanks again.
This was a very satisfying video. I don´t feel saturated as I could easily digest it because of the way you explained it. The oils I cook with, in the order I use most, are EVOO and coconut/ghee oil/butter. Thank you.
We've come full circle as a species - tallow, lard, ghee and butter fed our ancestors for eons without any problems. I use these extensively - all my vitals are perfect. I don't care much for coconut and olive though. My go to ref salad dressing is cold pressed avocado and macadamia. Even cold pressed palm FRUIT oil (red in color found in West African native stores) is full of Vitamin A. Don't fry with it though - just add after cooking.
I have those 4 oils in my pantry and my fridge, and that’s what I use also. It’s manly cause I like them but now I also know they are the best. Thank you ❤️
Although it has an abundance of omega-3, it is not in the form. Our body must convert it into a usable form. Which is another rational reason to chuck the bottle.
I really do love me some flaxseed oil. If I get the fresh, sealed, and refrigerated ones. I used to take it straight to get more omega 3's and I actually enjoyed the taste as long as I got the smaller bottle so I'd finish it before it loses too much of the freshness. My favorite use of it is to make vinaigrette for my salads. So tasty. Sorry, I know you are talking about using the oils for cooking, but my fingers were itching to type something.
Wow wow wowwww!!! I have NO idea what you just said BUT I am SOOO going to listen to this five times over until it sinks in! You’re friggen amazing my friend... I really love your vids! 👏👏👏
ROTFL Spiritual Solutions. I love to hear that. It is so worth it to understand this stuff though, because fats are the foundation of our energy. Once you understand it and own the basic principles presented in this video, they are yours forever. 😄
As you perhaps know, French fries were invented in Belgium. Before 1970/80 they were fried in tallow, because that was the fat they had. A big drawback was the fact that when the fries cooled down the fat solidified and made the fries stiff. They had to be consumed quickly especially in winter. So the “friteurs” were very happy with the new cooking oils!
French fries atleast in the us is derived from a common west african fried plaintain dish which, like you mention, were fried in animal fat. Oddly enough a common dish in nigeria is plantian and chicken both prepared identically to the american equivalent hence the "southern" and american story of chicken and fries:) .
Use duck fat or goose fat and it will not go into the product you fry, found out by accident because you have to filter it after use and the amount stayed more or less the same after using but it has to be stored in the fridge. Lived in France for 24 years and the people in that knew.
This was the best comprehensive explanation of oils I have ever seen. Very well researched and presented in an easy to understand and logical way. Thank you so much.
I love it when videos like this bring the science and not just "do this and don't do this because I said so" or "studies show" without references. Thank you Dr. Eckberg!
Thank you so much, Dr. Ekberg! We all love you! I have always been pretty good at science, and I have had enough courses on biology, anatomy, physiology, and chemistry to know that what you say makes perfect sense, and so exceeds our ridiculous government recommendations that it is not even funny. In fact, it’s very tragic. But we are all learning now thanks to you! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Exactly!!! I completely agree. Should be illegal to sell these things as ok for consumption. I feel this way about most food in the stores ... little debbie's and packaged foods , frozen dinners or fast food for most kids most days for dinner . School food not any better... So bad for you. Sugar should never have been unleashed on the human race as legal. Weed is illegal but alcohol and sugar and cigarettes are fine ...🤦🏼♀️👌🏼✌🏼🤡 Lol ok 👌🏼🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
In Finland those things containing poison oil get a special label. Unfortunately, that label is called "heart label" and are given to products that substitute butter with seed oils (usually rapeseed). It goes beyond ridiculous to furiating since the heart label is given as well to things like cookies, pastries and other industrial waste products high in sugar, white flour and flavour enhancers. Sugar, wheat and seed oils, now what can go wrong with that :D
they all fall in the category of vegetable oils mentioned earlier on in in the video. to be used sparingly. peanut oil especially is an industrially produced oil (ie. goes through that degumming / deodorization process he mentioned) so best to avoid as much as possible. there's a reason ghee is revered in india - that's why it's top on the list! :-D in indian cooking IMO it's best to stick to ghee, coconut oil, and butter for cooking, and then use sesame and mustard oils sparingly.
@@jraaccounts not at all. They have much better profile, Mustard oil in particular has very high level of mufa and pufa and low in sat fat and no trans fat, even better than olive oil. Nothing beats cold pressed mustard oil. The only issue people talk about is that it has a bit high erucic acid level which for some might be toxic but not to Indians who have been having it since centuries. The studies are done on lab rats anyway
@@jraaccounts 💯To say mustard oil is not good ,That's bunkum totally. Do you know about Wood pressed mustard oil ??. There is a difference between wood & cold pressed mustard oil. Wood pressed Mustard oil which is processed through the traditional Indian method with zero heat is considered as one of the best oil in india but Nowdays in Indian market it's very difficult to get 100% wood pressed oil because every oil is sold and marketed in the name of wood pressed mustard oil in india but eventually it's not in reality ,so if you can get 100% authentic wood pressed oil then it's the best oil . So Wooden pressed Mustard oil which is processed through wood pressed method is not bad at all .💯
I found your channel 2 weeks ago Dr. Ekberg and i have been watching several video's a day, your content is so amazingly detailed and well presented. I have been practicing a keto diet for 5 days, and just tested my urine and found a high ketone content. Im transitioning from eating take out and fast food for every meal to cooking and paying attention to what i put into my body all because of you! Thank you so much.
_Give credit where it is due, love. The sharing of (his) knowledge may have served as catalyst, but, dearest one, it is IN YOUR WILL TO LIVE that you are implementing these helpful changes. Each time you choose what to eat, you are showing you respect yourself. Take time to meditate (perhaps you have a favorite chair) on "my will to live". Understand that without the will to live, the body immediately dies, while even the sickest body will survive if the mind has the will to further be of service on this planet. Your enthusiasm is uplifting. Cheers to you._
Used vegetable oil my whole life, I moved to Denmark and was taught to use olive oil, I didn’t even question it, just used what’s available. I hope olive is a good one!
Thank You @user-bn6op9rr8c1 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
Thank you I am going to start my intermittent fasting( I did it for two weeks and I love it) i ate some peeps and reese eggs, but now i am ready, thank i love you so much, you are awesome!!😇🥑🌲🐾🌻🐞🦗🥥🥬
My family uses mustard oil for cooking and deep frying and ghee for dressing and normal frying. No problem regarding heart health yet. From 70-80 years as far as i know.
theres actually studies from all the way back in the 60s 70s that back up this video. very thorough and over 5 years of very controlled testing feeding people food cooked with oil and the other half were fed with beef tallow, the beef tallow people didnt develop heart diseases or cholesterol or anything. opposed to the oils people which got really sick.
They also didn't eat a lot of grains. Grains wrecked havoc on the Egyptians with heart disease and poor dental hygiene. Cholesterol btw is not deadly, it's absolutely essential for humans in the development of cells and hormones.
I can agree with these findings just based on cooking being on keto. The primary oils we use are coconut and butter. Ghee is just too expensive for what it is. When we do fry we use lard and discard. Did learn quite a bit from this though... a person I watch mentioned frequently how he doesn't like vegetable oils, or soybean because it made him swell and sick - and this video explained why.
A huge thankyou for you work and knowledge through your videos. I discovered I have a problem with cortisol. I am being treated for so many things with different meds, but not one doctor has ever even mentioned it, not even in the same field. I am not even sure they used the word Auto immune...only in the way of 'your Psoriasis is an auto immune condition'. They never connected my apple stomach, constant chest infection and on going bacterial infection that started at my second COVID jab. I am mr Auto immune issue, stemming much from Stress and cortisol level for many years.Thanks again time for a lifestyle change. You may have added many years to my life.
I make my own lard with backfat from Mangalista Pigs which are pasture raised. If you haven't heard of that breed of pig they are considered the Waygu version of the pork world. Nothing like what is sold in stores.
Thank you for this video. The fact that you explained the reasoning and the chemistry behind it all made this video stand out. Otherwise you just have people telling you "this is bad, this is good" without any logical explanation as to why, and as a medical doctor i appreciate the simple presentation of the science. Brilliant and i will be sharing it. SUBSCRIBED.
We use chosen foods avocado oil it’s expeller pressed without excess heat, it’s the best out there and I will continue to use it when I need to drizzle on my veggies to go on the barbecue but we used ghee from grass fed cows and butter from grass fed Canadian raised cows! I don’t trust olive oil it has a low cooking temp and it’s not good to heat it. Besides most of it is questionable!
4:40 Dr Sten I’d like to add another point on Flaxseed oil: the omega-3 in flaxseed oil is mainly ALA, not DHA / EPA. Only small amount of ALA is able to convert to useful DHA/EPA in human body and the rest become fat. Whenever I found that a food contain “Omega 3”, I’m always interested to find out further what type of omega-3 it is.
That's right. Omega-3 can be converted into DHA/EPA if you basically eat no Omega-6, which is not the case if you are searching for "omega-3" your processed food. Only fish oil is useful and maybe Omega 3 DHA from algea.
Awesome video! Such good information. Phew!! I am using the right oils (Olive Oil and Ghee mainly) and of course who does not love butter. I use Costco grass fed butter. Was very surprised to see Avocado Oil on the bad list🤔 Thank you Dr. Ekberg!

I am an MD. I have done a lot of my own reading and research on the subject (on top of the knowledge I have), this is the best, the most scientifically correct and presented in the most accessible way summary I have ever seen. Fantastic job, as always, Dr Ekberg. Thank you for the work you do.
Hoping you can help us educate your colleagues. I often find that health professionals overall lack current science based nutritional knowledge.
@@cps_Zen_Run unfortunately, just like everywhere else, physicians come in different mindsets and world views. No one stops us from questioning, researching, reading, learning. When I was graduating medical school, during the speech before handing out the diplomas, the dean said something that stuck with me forever and is the quintessence of a good physician - “ if we have taught you ONE thing, I hope it’s that you know what you don’t know”.
Thank you for your commitment to being a true physician. ❤
@@jayalexander6798 Unfortunately, the fact is we don't know what we don't know, and most so called educated people believe they know everything. Many are not interested in learning from others unless it's in line with what they already believe.
@@jayalexander6798 You sound as if you've gained some wisdom along with your research. You are a doctor I could probably trust. I've had to fire several of my hubby's doctors, one for medication errors that she blamed on us, and one for fabricating discussions with us that I discovered when I requested a copy of our charts, as well as 2 of mine. Good doctors are open to learning, even from their patients

I used to make fun of the Amish. They got it all correct.
im not amish, i dont have a phd. to me its just common sense....and using the flavour buds on your tonge and the smell recipients in your nose...what tastes and smells bad ( or doesnt taste or smell at all) cant be healthy
good food just tastes good
His advice to stay away from fast food because of the oil is on point.
On top of the oil, the unnatural chemicals in fast food is ungodly. Fast food isn't food at all.

Its not their job to teach this. Doctors/teachers usually just stick to what they are trained to teach because they have accountability in giving wrong info when they are paid to teach or heal.

That made me laugh 😂
Actually if it's cold pressed and organic and not subjected to heat or light it can be very healthy due to the linoleic acid content of the oil.

My mother used butter for everything. Most things were baked she never made fried chicken etc... She told me very simply " the body knows what to do with butter but not oil". A very simplistic statement but basically what this man said minus the science. Vicki
Wow how connected people really are. My mom and grandmother did the same thing. Gee thnx for the memories I haven't thought about for years😃
After watching this video and reading your comment, I'm adding butter to my next grocery purchase. Thanks ❤

Not only because it is food for the brain but because it is truly a food for the brain.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
You are welcome Alfredo Comagon. It was my pleasure 😄
So true! I'm always hungry for Dr Ekberg's videos!
I had issues with my gallbladder for the past year, they said I was going to have to get it removed, no stones, just pain. I ended up cutting out all vegetable oils and only using lard and tallow, and I haven't had any pain or issues in the past 2 months. I'm not sure why this is, but it worked!
Did you make any other lifestyle changes that could also have had an impact? Or just switching oils?
@@TesIaNikola Nope. Basically if it has any veggie oils in it I don't eat it. Even if it's just fried in it.
Bile salts are good too.
I look forward every Friday morning to Dr. Ekberg’s nutrition class. Everybody should have teachers like this. I love the technical science-based content and practical advice.
Good morning mr. harvard , when I got this notification on cooking oil, I said to my self, I don’t want to hear a video about cooking oil this early in the morning, so I said to myself, I might as well go ahead and listen and learn about oils, and get it over with! I’m glad I watch this video! So now I have listen, and I have learn about oils
HULDA CLARK, a research scientist in biophysics and other sciences. , states that iron and stainless steel pots are toxic long-term to your health. ?
Is like my daily nutrition class....amazing
A great Spanish nutritionist, Dr. Sánchez Cobian, many years ago, when asked if the famous Mediterranean diet was the best, he replied that he only recommended three things: use olive oil, eat little of everything and always stay with a little hungry...
Uh
When is a book out on this subject please be quick
My friends always smile when I tell them about the saturated. The old way of thinking is so deep rooted
Try telling them that salt is good. 😂 (which it is)
This video is just unbelievably amazing! I've spent hundreds of hours searching and reading to get the same info you provide in 30 minutes. Excellent job!!!
Im a Registered Nutritionist-Dietitian here in the Philippines 🇵🇭. I really appreciate your updates on all about MUFA PUFA omega 3and 6 and the smoke point, the health consequences in our body. It would really a big help to teach the viewers about the benefits and misconceptions about the use of vegetable oils
This single video. This one source of information and my change in which oils I consume and how I use them has reduced the inflammation in my shoulders and elbows to the point I can exercise again. I can sleep through the night again. I can sit comfortably for extended periods. Thank you!
I am glad someone finally talked about Ghee and Tallow. How and where do you grade walnut and peanut oils for cooking. it has been used for cooking in Persia and India for centuries but not at high tempretures. mustard oil has been used for frying. Furthermore, how is sunflower oil for cooking.
Part of it is how long to store the oils before they go rancid.
Peanut oil is trash. I never seen walnut oil though. Walnuts in itself have the highest omega 3 in nutz i think. But like the doctor said, it might nut matter when it is turned into an oil.
I live in Holland and I can get butter from grass fed cows. It is softer and tasts better tan ordinary butter.
Thank you Everdine Stenger. Yes. That is all I use. It is becoming more available.😄
You can also get free punches in the face from the ME, yeah! But quality butter will strenghten us. Ive never felt better since my switch to saturated fats.
What about good quality cheese.
@@ianmiles2505 i'm from Belgium.

i have for the past year and a half been eating almost exclusively beef fats butter and eggs for all my fat intake and i recently got my heart checked out, everything is perfect my blood pressure is consistently around 110/59 and ive actually leaned out quite a bit. Cutting out all the soy and canola oil's really does wonders for the body
Not even an olive oil onde in a while?
@@jakarrehevoo is good for salad dressing.
I've always used butter and olive oil. Since I've been buying my meat from a local farm, I asked about beef tallow. I've read some amazing things about it. It's easy to render down. I use it in place of butter for a lot of my cooking. It really flavorful. I also use pork lard.
@jakarreh Na I actually don't like the taste of olive oil So I don't use it, I basically put crumbled cheese and salt on salads sometimes vinegar dressing that doesn't have seed oil
@skal9510 Yeah I want to get beef tallow soon and make my own mayonnaise out of it. Because even the mayo that says it's made with olive oil or avocado oil, you look at the ingredients and its also still got soybean oil and canola oil. it's such a scam

I live in Finland and I had no idea what our equivalent of vegetable oil was. I googled and vegetable oils here are almost entirely just canola oil. Really 90% of all cooking oils in the stores are olive oil and canola oil. I have always only used olive oil. I love it on everything I feel I might have some mediterranean genes in me because I could have olive oil on my ice cream…
And italian/spanish average life expectancy is almost 84 years and I believe it’s because fish/red meat/olive oil is like 90% of the fats in their diet.
@@Zain_Passing_By Finland doesn’t have much sun actually ❤ but that be a good thing and yes coffee is special.
I am from Croatia,here ,90% of cooking oil is rafined sunflover oil.
I didnt see in any store rafined, or cold pressed canola oil.
Here in the US canola oil is considered a step above vegetable oil. However obviously olive oil is better. Now I'm hearing that macadamia nut oil maybe even better for health with a higher smoke point for cooking.
Czech Republic, Canola is very common, Sunflower is popular for salads. Lard is quite popular with bread (i guess bread which is common in former austria-hungarian monarchy, not the white one) or for frying.
Here in Spain Olive Oil is everywhere, for salads, for cooking, or just with bread, however sunflower oil is cheaper and is also very common but only for cooking dishes wich require a fat with less flavour or a very high temperature.
These are hands down the most information-packed videos on healthy eating and life-style.
Boy this was really good thank you so much! I’ve been cooking with olive oil , coconut and butter for years now. Now I feel better because sometimes I would feel guilty using butter in my cooking. Love this
Of all of the information that you have introduced to me, the facts about oils and cooking with oils has been the biggest shock. Swimming against the tide is not going to be easy, but I have to make these changes in how I cook for my family, and just hope that others can accept it.
Just do say anything and start doing it, they will like it.
Thanks!
Thank You @Jmartestuesday so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I just began cooking with Ghee. It gives the food a nice flavor. I'm glad it's on the "good oils" list.
The only concern about Ghee, is that saturated fat helps create plaque and then the number 1 cause of death worldwide, atherosclerosis
An exceptional person and specialist. Extremely important videos that everyone should see and radically change their thinking and lifestyle. Otherwise there is simply no life. Thank you so very much, Dr.Ekberg!
I am from India. We Regularly use Coconut oil, butter (home-made), Ghee (also home-made) for most of our cooking. Thanks for the video.
Ayurveda all the way!
And don't forget mustard oil that has better nutritional profile than olive oil as well. Erucic acid? no that's not toxic to us who have been consuming for centuries
@@SauravDasGuptaIN most people from South india can't stand the smell. Many are allergic to it.
@@70newlife well that's a first. All my friends from the 'South' loved my mutton and fish dishes prepared with mustard oil. Not only did they stood, but also sweared by the food they ate. None of them got any allergy too. The only ones who erucic acid affect realistically are lab rats. The amount we intake hardly has any affect on humans.
A lot of ppl from the north also dislike the smell of coconut oil in food, doesn't mean we all feel the same way
So let's all get away with the stereotypes and propaganda

Thank you very much indeed
As an Indian, I have cooked exclusively in Ghee, Butter, Coconut and Filtered Groundnut Oil. My ancestors put a few thousand years of research into this. And you too have concluded similarly.
Your ancestors were also well known for their historic mustard seed oil, which is a seed oil. In fact I would say India is tied with China is the largest pre industrial producer of seed oils. Though back then they cold pressed it.
@@Frenchfrys17 Cooking with Cold Pressed Mustard Oil would have been a luxury very few people could have afforded in the preindustrial era. Very difficult to extract and even more difficult to store. Mostly used in making Pickles, instead of cooking.
Groundnut oil is good for us?
@@Meme-Lessons Cold pressed unfiltered non refined ground nut oil. कच्ची घाणीच गोडो तेल वापरा
So funny. It is as if people from around the world think Americans don't have ancestors.
I can’t believe I was duped into thinking avocado oil was a good cooking oil. I now have the motivation to take back two half gallons I bought from Costco. They sell a lot of crappy oils. I saw that you have a video on what oils to buy at Costco, so I’ll check that out. Thanks for the info.
finally found someone who actually said it: our body fat doesn't come directly from the animal fat we eat. mostly that fat comes, like in the case of animals, from sugars which we are fed by the food industry in pretty much any processed food. Amazing video and greatly informative. keep up the good work!
the 'you are what you eat' meme so appealing that it leads people to avoid catfish just because they are bottom feeders.
Out body comes from an excess intake in calories .
@@lesterroberts1628 true, and I’ve had excellent smoked catfish.
Shame that is wrong and the wrong way to look at it. As with everything it's more complicated than that. The body uses the energy in carbs first (well after alcohol) as they are easier for the body to break down. So if you eat excess calories then the last to be left is the fat. Yes if you eat too many crabs ultimately they will be turned into fat but it's less efficient that simply depositing the fat. I understand that it takes about 30% of the energy in the carbs to turn them into fat.
Also fats have 2 time the calories to carbs by mass, so they make it much easier to go over the number of calories you need to survive and thrive.
As volume plays a part in the feeling of satiation, you can eat twice as much in the form of carbs and feel fuller and have less calories (preferably whole carbs not processed carbs).
So, yes you may get fat by eating too many calories in the form of carbs but it is easier to get over the amount of calories you need in a day with fats and if your over that tipping point it''s the fat over that point that will end up on (or under your ribs).
Yes this video make you feel good about your bad habits and help you avoid Omega 6's and some oxidative stresses, that is about all.
I mean it's not a secret, that's literally stuff taught in schools. Has anyone ever said that your body fat comes from oils you eat? Like ever? The issue with oils is how much they affect overall health, not the body mass.
I start using my Walnuts to make my own coldpressed walnut oil for external and internal use from head to toe benefits.
I use the pulp for my worms, the green shell for iodene tincture and the brown shell for my fire stove.

Agreed. I too am a chemist and it’s a nice explanation for the layman
I sometimes forget that most people don't know the difference between an alkane and an alkene.

I’ve been fasting a following some of your tips regarding acv and my mind and body has never felt so good! Thank you 🙏🏽
The processing and refining of the oils scares me but I don't use much of them anyway. Thanks Dr. good video.
Thank you John D S. Be afraid. Be very afraid of processed seed oils. 😄
This is very helpful Dr. Ekberg. But there's at least one oil missing which gets used a lot in Europe: sunflower oil. Basically, if there's any oil in the product, chances are it's either canola or sunflower.
I'm guessing it's just as bad as canola, but it would be cool to have the Doc's take on it.
One thing we do have going for us though it's no GMO here ( or at least, it shouldn't be by law)
if its not made cold pressed and if there is alot of heat applied and refinement during production its bad.
@@Lunatic_88 You have not mentioned about sesame oil, asians use sesame oil a lot. Thanks Dr.
@@clarawilkerson9903 if we go by the favour rule i'd suspect sesame oil is good to go! (plus it's usually added at the very end of the cooking so it should not heat up much)

the best tasting (butter, ghee, olive oil) happen to be the best for you! Yeah! Coconut oil can be incredible too if you find one that doesn't have strong flavor (some don't) or if you like coconut flavor (I do) and want it in something. My cast iron pans are coated in years of these.
This is the in depth knowledge, needed to be taught in our medical schools.
Why would they do that! Their aim is to give us the wrong information so that we get sick and die off slowly so that we can pay for their drugs!

One of the best most important presentations I’ve ever seen. Thank you Dr. Ekberg
Can’t believe I’d never discovered Dr Ekberg until today. The way he looks at food and our body is exactly what drove me to pursue a degree in the field to get a holistic view. I can’t stop watching these videos on 2X speed. Thanks so much for explaining the whys in such details yet easy to understand🌸
I discovered him 4 days ago and now Ike 15 videos in
Excellent video again. What I love about your lectures is that you don't just make bold statements but that you explain the logic and the functionality behind it. Bravo! 👏
Ghee still contain some solids(protein and so on), the solids are browned and are there for flavor.
Clarified butter on the other hand is only the butter fat, all the solids are discarded.
You can see it if you melt it, ghee has solids floating in it, while clarified butter is clear and uniform.
There are two ways of making ghee. It can be made from Curd which is the best way to do it. The other way is to make it from the cream. The latter isn't the best way.
I make my own ghee and try to get all the solids out before cooking with it. I love it. I also use it as a lubricant for jar lids that get stuck and as a skin moisterizer in small quantities.
Thank you RandomloserDK for the clarification. I mostly use the butter because I like the flavor the best.😄
@@drekberg Me to, but I also make clarified butter and tallow.
Tallow is impossible to buy in stores here in Denmark.
@@RandomloserDK Fortunately, I am able to buy 5-lb or 50-lb units of coarsely ground beef suet from a family owned grass-fed ranch about an hour down the road.
Love these videos, you and Dr. Cate have changed my life. We moved to home made dressings using unrefined extra virgin avocado oil for over a year. Problem is avocado oil is going through same scams as olive oil did a few years back. A study found most avocado oil is bogus. Look for Avohass, Chosen or Primal brands and look for a label on bottle as to when harvested and expiration. Real unrefined will have green color as this video shows.
I liked your video - very informative. However
1. Could you please analyse Rice bran oil, groundnut oil, sesame (gingely) oil, palm oil, sunflower oil.
2. Could you please clarify if cold pressed oil & physically refined oil are one & the same?
only use olive oil, cold pressed virgin. canola and corn is the worst, avoid the rest also.
Thank you, I’ve known for years how bad seed oils are but your explanation gave me more insight as to why. One thing I was waiting for you to mention but you didn’t was how they hydrogenate oil to give it a longer shelf life. I thought that was the number one reason to avoid seed oil. I hope you can respond to this. Thanks again.
This was a very satisfying video. I don´t feel saturated as I could easily digest it because of the way you explained it. The oils I cook with, in the order I use most, are EVOO and coconut/ghee oil/butter. Thank you.
We've come full circle as a species - tallow, lard, ghee and butter fed our ancestors for eons without any problems. I use these extensively - all my vitals are perfect.
I don't care much for coconut and olive though. My go to ref salad dressing is cold pressed avocado and macadamia. Even cold pressed palm FRUIT oil (red in color found in West African native stores) is full of Vitamin A. Don't fry with it though - just add after cooking.
I have those 4 oils in my pantry and my fridge, and that’s what I use also. It’s manly cause I like them but now I also know they are the best. Thank you ❤️
I just bought a bottle of flaxseed oil because the label shows a high percentage of omeg 3. So I will keep it in fridge and only use it in salad.
You can also add a bit to a bulletproof coffee. :)
Thank you Adam. Good thinking. Freezer is even better if you're not going to finish it in a couple of weeks.😄
Although it has an abundance of omega-3, it is not in the form. Our body must convert it into a usable form. Which is another rational reason to chuck the bottle.
Adam I just bought one too. Not expired or rancid, just didn't like the flavour. Kind of like maybe motor oil.
Flaxseed has ALA omega 3 which cannot be easily converted into the omega 3 you get from fish. Although it is good for damaged nerves from diabetes.
I really do love me some flaxseed oil. If I get the fresh, sealed, and refrigerated ones. I used to take it straight to get more omega 3's and I actually enjoyed the taste as long as I got the smaller bottle so I'd finish it before it loses too much of the freshness. My favorite use of it is to make vinaigrette for my salads. So tasty.
Sorry, I know you are talking about using the oils for cooking, but my fingers were itching to type something.
Haha same, love if for salad dressings
I use Ghee and MCT oil for Bulletproof Coffee... We use coconut oil and butter for saute/frying food.
Wow wow wowwww!!! I have NO idea what you just said BUT I am SOOO going to listen to this five times over until it sinks in!
You’re friggen amazing my friend... I really love your vids! 👏👏👏
ROTFL Spiritual Solutions. I love to hear that. It is so worth it to understand this stuff though, because fats are the foundation of our energy. Once you understand it and own the basic principles presented in this video, they are yours forever. 😄
Lol I responded in the wrong place
As you perhaps know, French fries were invented in Belgium. Before 1970/80 they were fried in tallow, because that was the fat they had. A big drawback was the fact that when the fries cooled down the fat solidified and made the fries stiff. They had to be consumed quickly especially in winter. So the “friteurs” were very happy with the new cooking oils!
LARD is the word
@@t.corazon6350 Praise the lard!
French fries atleast in the us is derived from a common west african fried plaintain dish which, like you mention, were fried in animal fat. Oddly enough a common dish in nigeria is plantian and chicken both prepared identically to the american equivalent hence the "southern" and american story of chicken and fries:) .
Use duck fat or goose fat and it will not go into the product you fry, found out by accident because you have to filter it after use and the amount stayed more or less the same after using but it has to be stored in the fridge. Lived in France for 24 years and the people in that knew.
@@najma2613 Are you talking about "bananes plantains"/"aloco" ? I think French fries in the US are just the same as French/Belgium ones
This was the best comprehensive explanation of oils I have ever seen. Very well researched and presented in an easy to understand and logical way. Thank you so much.
I am happy with video. My indian product ghee is recommend by reputed doctors. My ancestors used to encourage eating ghee.
Hi doctor Ekberg. I hope we can do live chat one day. Thank you for the giving us valuable information all the time.
You are welcome pixsie doll. It was my pleasure 😄
I bought tallow for the first time this week, and first used it to make an omelette. This is the best tasting omelette I've ever eaten.
@Andy Man Can you share how you do it?
@Andy Man That would be LARD (pig fat). Tallow will come from bovine fat.
I have been waiting for this episode, thanks doctor 🙏
Thank you Mohamed Amin. Perfect. Glad I could get it done for you.😄
@@drekberg well done doctor 👏
I love it when videos like this bring the science and not just "do this and don't do this because I said so" or "studies show" without references. Thank you Dr. Eckberg!
Thank you so much, Dr. Ekberg! We all love you! I have always been pretty good at science, and I have had enough courses on biology, anatomy, physiology, and chemistry to know that what you say makes perfect sense, and so exceeds our ridiculous government recommendations that it is not even funny. In fact, it’s very tragic. But we are all learning now thanks to you! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
These bad oils need a 5 page warning label like what’s on the back of a bottle of bug killer.
Exactly!!! I completely agree. Should be illegal to sell these things as ok for consumption. I feel this way about most food in the stores ... little debbie's and packaged foods , frozen dinners or fast food for most kids most days for dinner . School food not any better... So bad for you. Sugar should never have been unleashed on the human race as legal. Weed is illegal but alcohol and sugar and cigarettes are fine ...🤦🏼♀️👌🏼✌🏼🤡 Lol ok 👌🏼🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Thank you • Salt Rock. Agreed. That would be progress. 😄
true
In Finland those things containing poison oil get a special label. Unfortunately, that label is called "heart label" and are given to products that substitute butter with seed oils (usually rapeseed). It goes beyond ridiculous to furiating since the heart label is given as well to things like cookies, pastries and other industrial waste products high in sugar, white flour and flavour enhancers. Sugar, wheat and seed oils, now what can go wrong with that :D
And 5 skull sign on it, but they can`t they cannot make money out of it
Thank you doctor.
Could you also please inform about sesame, peanut and mustard oils which we use a fair bit in our cooking ?
they all fall in the category of vegetable oils mentioned earlier on in in the video. to be used sparingly. peanut oil especially is an industrially produced oil (ie. goes through that degumming / deodorization process he mentioned) so best to avoid as much as possible. there's a reason ghee is revered in india - that's why it's top on the list! :-D in indian cooking IMO it's best to stick to ghee, coconut oil, and butter for cooking, and then use sesame and mustard oils sparingly.
@@jraaccounts not at all. They have much better profile, Mustard oil in particular has very high level of mufa and pufa and low in sat fat and no trans fat, even better than olive oil. Nothing beats cold pressed mustard oil. The only issue people talk about is that it has a bit high erucic acid level which for some might be toxic but not to Indians who have been having it since centuries. The studies are done on lab rats anyway
@@jraaccounts How about macadamia nut oil?
@@jraaccounts 💯To say mustard oil is not good ,That's bunkum totally. Do you know about Wood pressed mustard oil ??. There is a difference between wood & cold pressed mustard oil.
Wood pressed Mustard oil which is processed through the traditional Indian method with zero heat is considered as one of the best oil in india but Nowdays in Indian market it's very difficult to get 100% wood pressed oil because every oil is sold and marketed in the name of wood pressed mustard oil in india but eventually it's not in reality ,so if you can get 100% authentic wood pressed oil then it's the best oil . So Wooden pressed Mustard oil which is processed through wood pressed method is not bad at all .💯
I found your channel 2 weeks ago Dr. Ekberg and i have been watching several video's a day, your content is so amazingly detailed and well presented. I have been practicing a keto diet for 5 days, and just tested my urine and found a high ketone content. Im transitioning from eating take out and fast food for every meal to cooking and paying attention to what i put into my body all because of you! Thank you so much.
_Give credit where it is due, love. The sharing of (his) knowledge may have served as catalyst, but, dearest one, it is IN YOUR WILL TO LIVE that you are implementing these helpful changes. Each time you choose what to eat, you are showing you respect yourself. Take time to meditate (perhaps you have a favorite chair) on "my will to live". Understand that without the will to live, the body immediately dies, while even the sickest body will survive if the mind has the will to further be of service on this planet. Your enthusiasm is uplifting. Cheers to you._
@@anhumblemessengerofthelawo3858 that's very interesting
Used vegetable oil my whole life, I moved to Denmark and was taught to use olive oil, I didn’t even question it, just used what’s available. I hope olive is a good one!
Many dont know that Canola oil can cause hair loss.
Nope
Thanks
Thank You @user-bn6op9rr8c1 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
Our Health champion DR EKBERG..THANK YOU!!
The most instructive and accurate video I've seen since I started researching keto 5 years ago. Brilliant, thank you Dr👍
Thank you I am going to start my intermittent fasting( I did it for two weeks and I love it) i ate some peeps and reese eggs, but now i am ready, thank i love you so much, you are awesome!!😇🥑🌲🐾🌻🐞🦗🥥🥬
Thank you Teresa B. I really appreciate your feedback. 😄
My family uses mustard oil for cooking and deep frying and ghee for dressing and normal frying.
No problem regarding heart health yet. From 70-80 years as far as i know.
Where on the list are you putting sunflower and palm oil? Thanks in advance.
Sunflower would be bad? Its 100% refined oil with high smoke point.?
theres actually studies from all the way back in the 60s 70s that back up this video. very thorough and over 5 years of very controlled testing feeding people food cooked with oil and the other half were fed with beef tallow, the beef tallow people didnt develop heart diseases or cholesterol or anything. opposed to the oils people which got really sick.
They also didn't eat a lot of grains. Grains wrecked havoc on the Egyptians with heart disease and poor dental hygiene.
Cholesterol btw is not deadly, it's absolutely essential for humans in the development of cells and hormones.
I can agree with these findings just based on cooking being on keto. The primary oils we use are coconut and butter. Ghee is just too expensive for what it is. When we do fry we use lard and discard. Did learn quite a bit from this though... a person I watch mentioned frequently how he doesn't like vegetable oils, or soybean because it made him swell and sick - and this video explained why.
You can make your own ghee from butter my family does that we don’t buy ghee.
A huge thankyou for you work and knowledge through your videos. I discovered I have a problem with cortisol. I am being treated for so many things with different meds, but not one doctor has ever even mentioned it, not even in the same field. I am not even sure they used the word Auto immune...only in the way of 'your Psoriasis is an auto immune condition'. They never connected my apple stomach, constant chest infection and on going bacterial infection that started at my second COVID jab. I am mr Auto immune issue, stemming much from Stress and cortisol level for many years.Thanks again time for a lifestyle change. You may have added many years to my life.
I make my own lard with backfat from Mangalista Pigs which are pasture raised. If you haven't heard of that breed of pig they are considered the Waygu version of the pork world. Nothing like what is sold in stores.
Thank you Jennifer McLaughlin. Sounds awesome.😄
I rendered some pork fat last night...i’m going to look for a source of pasture raised pigs
Dr Ekberg, if you're still reading comments, what about sesame oil?
It's a staple of cooking in many Asian dishes.
A very healthy cooking oil
@@splendorvxi How is it processed?
Nice as salad dressing
@@araplagat_ Cold pressed No chemical processing
Thank you for this video. The fact that you explained the reasoning and the chemistry behind it all made this video stand out. Otherwise you just have people telling you "this is bad, this is good" without any logical explanation as to why, and as a medical doctor i appreciate the simple presentation of the science. Brilliant and i will be sharing it. SUBSCRIBED.
Many many thanks Dr Sten! Possibly the best explanation ever of the science surrounding cooking oils. Wonderful!
Just one question: would you say that cold-pressed unrefined rape seed oil is ok?
Thank you for the information. I was frying with avocado oil thinking it was safe and healthy. I’m switching to ghee❤️
Maybe find expeller-pressed?
We use chosen foods avocado oil it’s expeller pressed without excess heat, it’s the best out there and I will continue to use it when I need to drizzle on my veggies to go on the barbecue but we used ghee from grass fed cows and butter from grass fed Canadian raised cows! I don’t trust olive oil it has a low cooking temp and it’s not good to heat it. Besides most of it is questionable!
I just LOVE your candor!!! 👍 Of course I appreciate your brilliance 🏆
Thank you Mia Vos. That's very kind of you. I really appreciate your feedback. 😄
4:40 Dr Sten I’d like to add another point on Flaxseed oil: the omega-3 in flaxseed oil is mainly ALA, not DHA / EPA. Only small amount of ALA is able to convert to useful DHA/EPA in human body and the rest become fat.
Whenever I found that a food contain “Omega 3”, I’m always interested to find out further what type of omega-3 it is.
That's right. Omega-3 can be converted into DHA/EPA if you basically eat no Omega-6, which is not the case if you are searching for "omega-3" your processed food. Only fish oil is useful and maybe Omega 3 DHA from algea.
Awesome video! Such good information. Phew!! I am using the right oils (Olive Oil and Ghee mainly) and of course who does not love butter. I use Costco grass fed butter. Was very surprised to see Avocado Oil on the bad list🤔 Thank you Dr. Ekberg!
