Oil is unhealthy because sugar?

[bluu]

Exactly, people are so black and white about it. But olive oil has essential fatty acids, vitamin E. And doesn't cause cavities like sugar that really has no nutrients. Flaxseed oil can only be used raw over cooked / mashed potatoes but tastes great and is good for omega 3's that vegans can be low in without flax and chia seeds in every smoothie.

Oil is healthy (under equal kcal-balance), but ...
1. It's not satiating
2. You can make home-cooked food easily hyper-palatable and kcal-dense with it.

Eating oil in moderation and making healthier things taste better by using it is great.

But if you have problems with too much body fat you might look at your oil consumption. And if you add oils to things you shouldn't eat much of, it might be a good idea to change that.

Ghee, butter, lard, olive oil.. by far the best for you

There's a correlation, between fat, sugar, and diabetes.

I don’t know if you just started doing shorts or the algorithm just started to show them to me but I like them.

So why does sugar get the you will get fat from it .

[AlphGen]

It is true sugar comes from a vegetable (sugar beet) and not from fruit

[moodywrites]

And juice has many of the same nutrients as fruit

Comparing olive oils vs canola is dumb.
Olive oil is pressed and squezzed at temperature no more than 28 celcius, while canola is processed at high temperature which leads to oxidized oil with very little nutrients.

I'd say sugar>oil. For you can eat spoons of sugar, but you'd not straight take a sip of oil unless you were starving.

It is blatantly untrue that oils have most of the beneficial properties that the Whole Foods from which they came have. Oils are isolated fat - just like table sugar is just isolated simple sugar. Sure, olive oil has a bit of vitamin E and some polyphenols, but it lacks the minerals and other vitamins that the whole food contains. Compared to ghee and butter, plant oils perform better, but that doesn’t mean they are healthy foods.

Lol at heavily refined canola oil has most of the same beneficial properties as the source it came from. Are you even serious with that comment??? Either you don't know what oils contain/don't contain, or you don't know the meanings of simple words such as "most" and "beneficial". Easily the most ludicrous thing I have heard from any health influencer, aside from the stuff that carnivores say.
