Is Oil Good for You?
For years, oil was a blanket term for everything from canola to olive and it got a bad reputation for being high in fat and bad for cholesterol levels. But the truth is that not all oil is created equal. We may already know the benefits of coconut and olive oil, but there are tons of superfood oils that are loaded with good-for-you nutrients like omegas, vitamins, and heart-healthy monounsaturated fat (walnut oil, hemp seed oil, and macadamia oil all fall into this category). So what falls into the less-than-healthy category? Partially hydrogenated oils—or trans fats—like chemically altered vegetable oil can lower levels of good cholesterol. This is why the American Heart Association recommends that no more than 1 percent of your total daily calories come from trans fat.
