RE: [RC] Would like input on article related to feeding please. - Susan E. Garlinghouse, DVM

It’s pretty accurate (at least, I don’t have major objections to any of the statements), other than Dr. Lawrence is a Laurie, not a Lori. J

 

The primary addition I would add to the article’s statements that not all oils are created equal (very true) is that all oils can *become* pretty much equal if handled inappropriately and allowed to oxidize.  ANY grocery store brand of oil, with the exception of extra-virgin olive oil, is going to be heat processed and therefore any omega FA content has been rendered inactive---it’s now just a source of calories and that’s about it.  In order to take advantage of any omega 3 or 6 content, the oil has to be cold pressed, (or the seed fed whole or freshly ground as in the case of flax seed) and then kept in dark/opaque containers, in a cold environment and repeated exposure to air minimized as much as possible.

This link came up on another forum, and I would like to hear what our nutrition guru's think??  Keeping it relative to the article. :o)

 

 

Thanks!
