Legal

Legal, but not recommended.More about Canola Oil; http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/knowledge_base/kb/canola_oil.htm

Coconut Oil is legal: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/knowledge_base/kb/coconut_oil.htmFlax Seed Oil is legal: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/knowledge_base/kb/flax_seed_and_flax_seed_oil.htm

Peanut Oil is legal, but might be advanced. I know peanuts are, but not sure about the oil.That's all info from http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info. A moderator might have more suggestions.

 

I'm a little confused as to which oils are okay to use. I thought I remembered reading it in the book, but now I can't seem to find it. I know olive oil is okay, but I also want something more mild, say to make squash fries and such. Is canola oil legal?

Thanks,

Jen

Is canola oil legal?I think all oils and fats are legal, since they don't have any carbohydrates in them to feed the bad bacteria. However some oils are not really very healthy, even if they are legal. I personally wouldn't use canola oil. I think expeller pressed coconut oil is pretty mild, and much healthier than some of the alternatives.

Awesome, thanks! I've seen a lot of posts about sunflower and safflower oil and

I found some good sources for those.

I've used safflower and sunflower, also olive oil, also expeller pressed

coconut oil for a number of things.

Some people get more finicky about it, and if there's a reason to, you

can dig into it. But those oils are all what got me through my first

several years of SCD.

Elaine didn't recommend canola oil because it was derived from a

gene-modified crop.

Not all oils are legal. Soybean oil is not legal on SCD.

I like expeller pressed coconut oil for cooking, yes. (My husband

does not like the extra-virgin because of the coconut taste, so I reserve

that for things which should have a coconut taste.) In fact, my order of

coconut oil should be here any day.

I'd watch out for canola oil... like soybean oil, it is frequently

partially

hydrogenated. Remember, make sure your oils are unrefined!

Also, Canola oil is largely man-made. That is, it's made from rape

seed which is the cheapest of the seeds in your bird-seed mix. It's

much more processed than other oils so I kind of don't trust it for that

reason.
