thanks jay - I actually did that with the coconut oil - I had picked up spectrum naturals refined, and it was so nasty tasting i didn't want to cook with it - so moved it to the bathroom. I now use coconut oil from the Dekalb farmer's market - it says "philippines organic e/virgin coconut" and it tastes like coconut, i'm assuming is unrefined?? but I think the natual food market closer to me carries some good brands.
The oil info is so confusing! I though forever that canola was good, then hear its omega 6 so not so good? But we still use it, should i stop? I bought safflower, read that its good, then read somewhere else, not so. i need to stop reading...argh
And while coconut oil supposed to be okay for high heat, when i cook with it - it really smokes up?
My husband likes frying in peanut oil - don't know anything about that healthwise, but wondered if it might be starchy since peanuts are, then figured its all fat no starch? information overload. If you figure it out please post. thanks mary cay
