Re: What about cold-pressed?

[Guest guest]

The label " cold pressed " can be applied to an oil where the heat from the

machinery in processing can reach well over 200 degrees, even as high as

250 degrees. With the exception of the tropical oils, most oils virtues

diminish when subjected to heat above body temp. You will find variable

temperatures among processing below body temp., but at least make sure

the maximum is never above body temp.

Does " cold-pressed " on the label mean it's OK?
