When it comes to cooking oils, not all fats are created equal. Choosing the right kind can support your health, while the wrong ones may quietly harm it. In this post, we’ll break down the best and worst cooking oils so you can make informed choices for your kitchen and your body.
Why We Need Healthy Fats
Our bodies need fat—it’s essential for absorbing nutrients, supporting hormone health, and even fueling our brains. But the kind of fat you consume matters. Just like not all carbohydrates are the same, not all fats work the same way in the body. Some nourish, while others inflame.
The Dangers of Unhealthy Fats
Many modern processed foods and cooking oils are loaded with harmful fats that increase inflammation, contribute to heart disease, and throw off your body’s natural balance. These oils often undergo heavy processing, are extracted with harsh chemicals, or oxidize easily at high temperatures. Even worse, they’re hidden in so many packaged foods, it can be difficult to avoid them unless you’re reading labels closely.
5 of the Worst Cooking Oils
Let’s talk about the oils you’re better off avoiding:
Canola oil – Highly refined and often genetically modified. Though it’s marketed as heart-healthy, its processing method raises concerns.
Soybean oil – Common in many processed foods, it’s typically refined and has a poor omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, promoting inflammation.
Corn oil – Like soybean oil, corn oil is often highly processed and derived from genetically modified crops.
Vegetable oil blends – These are vague and often contain a mix of low-quality oils, including soy, corn, or cottonseed.
Cottonseed oil – Not technically a food crop and often contaminated with pesticide residues.
These oils are unstable at high heat, easily oxidize, and have been linked to several chronic diseases over time.
7 of the Cleanest Cooking Oils
Now for the good news—there are wonderful, health-supportive oils you can rely on. Here are some of the cleanest, most nourishing choices:
Olive Oil – A staple of the Mediterranean diet, extra virgin olive oil is rich in antioxidants and healthy monounsaturated fats. It’s great for low to medium-heat cooking or drizzling on salads.
Avocado Oil – With a high smoke point and creamy taste, avocado oil is perfect for higher-heat cooking and packed with heart-healthy fats.
Coconut Oil – Especially good for baking and medium-heat sautéing, coconut oil contains lauric acid, which supports the immune system.
Ghee – This clarified butter is a traditional fat used in Ayurvedic cooking. It’s shelf-stable, has a high smoke point, and is rich in fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K.
Butter – When sourced from grass-fed cows, butter can be a healthy fat with beneficial nutrients. It’s ideal for low to medium-heat cooking.
Flaxseed Oil – Best used raw (like in salad dressings), flaxseed oil is high in omega-3s and supports heart and brain health. Not suitable for cooking.
(Bonus) – Animal fats like tallow or duck fat, when sourced from clean, pasture-raised animals, can also be safe and traditional options for high-heat cooking.
