Yes, Molly's links basically hit on the idea. Potentially any oil can undergo this process, but here in the U.S. I typically associate it with the garbage usually contained in plastic bottles that line the grocery store shelves. Stuff like corn oil, soy oil (usually pawned as vegetable oil), canola oil, safflower oil, etc. Usually the refined coconut oil, for instance, is usually labeled by the manufacturer/marketer that it not suitable for culinary uses.

I understand, now, what you are saying about how you use the different quality oils.

Can you not get avocado oil by ordering it from a retailer on the internet?

this "evidence" in article http://www.indianexpress.com/news/butter-may-be-better-for-you-than-olive-oil/578119/
is based on 1 study involving less than 50 people (19 women and 28 men.)

When I lived in India, we all used coconut oil almost every day (everyone in Sth Idia uses coconut oil as basic for culinary use, everyone. It is the norm.) C'nut oil and Dalda - a sort of lard, but NOT animal fat (Dalda is very much Nth Indian use and Mumbai). Also used cocout oil for hair and body - oil bath. MOST beneficial. Was NEVER so well as when I lived in India. Fresh veggies and hardly any meat, at all. Tumeric (curcumin) EVERY day, and of course my fave of all time, raw buffalo milk yogurt - buffalo would come to the door and be milked straight in front of one, buy by the seer. (Never forget the tine my two huskies chased the buffaloes up and around the block - bufallo wallah was furious with them/me!) Oh, how I STILL miss that yog. Live on memories - 'smile'.

Now, I use good butter and coconut oil for cooking. Very rarely oil, and when I do use oil, use olive oil: pure, unrefined, cold pressed.

Hi Mollyc, im reading a book called "cholesterol: the real truth" Dr Sandra Cabot & Margaret Jasinska ND. they basically say only cook with oil that has been pressed rather than proceed (exposed to heat already.), butter or ghee. they also say "the fats in margarine are heavily processed,rancid & create free radicals (inflammation) in your body".

I just ordered coconut oil last week and a coconut butter/stone ground with raw chocolate
Cant wait!
Been using cold pressed olive but it seems not the best for cooking
I have NEVER used marg and never will
