3. No Claims to Diagnose, Treat, or Cure Disease

References to research involving cooking oils, fatty acids, cholesterol, inflammation, cardiovascular health, blood sugar, or other health topics are provided for educational purposes.

They should not be interpreted as a claim that a particular oil can diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Do not delay or disregard professional medical advice because of something you have read on this website.

4. Nutrition Information May Vary

Nutrition information can vary between oil types, brands, production methods, and product formulations.

For example, two products described as the same type of cooking oil may differ in their fatty-acid profile, added ingredients, processing method, or nutritional labelling.

Whenever exact nutrition information is important to you, check the current product label and information supplied by the manufacturer.

5. Research and Recommendations Can Change

Nutrition science continues to develop, and recommendations may change as new evidence becomes available.

Different professional organisations may also interpret available evidence differently.

We aim to present information clearly and responsibly, but older articles may not always reflect the newest research or recommendations immediately.

6. Cooking Temperatures and Smoke Points

Smoke-point values and cooking-temperature recommendations are approximate and may vary depending on factors such as the oil's quality, refinement level, age, storage conditions, and specific product.

A smoke point should not be treated as the only measure of whether an oil is suitable for a particular cooking method.

Always use appropriate cooking practices and follow relevant food-safety guidance.

Some cooking oils may be derived from ingredients associated with food allergies or sensitivities, including peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, soy, and other sources.

Cold-Pressed vs. Refined Oils: What Actually Matters

Cold-Pressed vs. Refined Oils: What Actually Matters Short answer: Cold-pressed (unrefined) oils deliver bigger flavor and more of the plant’s natural compounds; refined (RBD) oils are cleaner-tasting, more heat-tolerant, and last longer. Use both—just match the oil to the job. Cold-pressed preserves flavor with minimal processing; refining removes odors/color and raises heat tolerance. The quick take (read this first) Cold-pressed / unrefined : vivid flavor; best for dressings, dips, finishing, and low–medium heat. Refined (RBD) : neutral taste, higher smoke points , longer shelf life; best for stir-fry, searing, and deep-frying. For everyday health, favor unsaturated oils (olive, avocado, canola, sesame, safflower/sunflower). Use saturated fats less often.

Smoke Point Isn’t Everything: How to Choose the Best Cooking Oil for High Heat

Smoke Point Isn’t Everything: How to Choose the Best Cooking Oil for High Heat If you've ever searched for the best cooking oil for high heat, you've probably seen the same advice repeated again and again: Choose the oil with the highest smoke point. It sounds logical. A pan gets hot, oil starts smoking at a certain temperature, so the oil that smokes at the highest temperature must be the best choice. The problem is that food science is not quite that simple. Smoke point is useful information, but it tells us only part of the story. An oil's behaviour during cooking also depends on its fatty-acid composition, antioxidant content, level of refining, freshness, temperature, cooking time and whether it has already been heated before. That is particularly important during frying, where oil can remain hot for much longer than it does during a quick sauté. So instead of ranking cooking oils by one number, this guide looks at what actually happens to oil under heat and how you ca...
