These fats are defense chemicals produced by the plant to ward off predators (us). They should consumed VERY moderately, if at all.</p> <p>Also, fats high in un-sat fats when heated become rancid and toxic to the body. </p> <p>Coconut oil, butter, and/or olive oil are best. In order of best to least best as olive oil also can breakdown in heat.</p> <p>Thanks, </p> <p>Nick Garcia<br /> <a href="http://fitwomenforlife.com" rel="nofollow">http://fitwomenforlife.com</a> </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/cheap-expeller-pressed-grapeseed-oil#post-2972 Sun, 24 Jul 2011 23:08:29 +0000 moosemtnmama 2972@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Living in Fairbanks, Alaska means I scour the internet for reasonable prices and shipping on items I cannot find locally (at least not at a good price).

I cook a lot with cocnunt oil and prefer it over the grapeseed oil, which in my opinion is a bit too greasy and salty. Plus, I like the added health benefits of the coconut oil. Just wondering if anyone has tried using it...</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Amy </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/montebaldograpeseed-oil#post-2528 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 20:31:34 +0000 jsigrist 2528@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Is this is a good brand of oil to use?

What I tried this morning, and it worked beautifully, is this. As I measured out the liquid ingredients, I measured the grapeseed oil first, dipped the measuring spoon in that, and then measured the honey. What a difference! The honey just slid right off the spoon!
