A little off topic. I saw a commercial on the telly a while back touting the benefits of corn oil. They claimed it was healthier than olive oil. Has anyone else seen this and what do you think? I only seen it once.
I don’t know much about it, except that there’s a lot of contention surrounding cooking oils, and the health recommendations change routinely.
The only fats I use right now are Butter; Olive Oil, for salad dressings and cooking; sometimes Coconut Oil for cooking; Sesame, for flavoring; Peanut Oil for deep frying; and, oh - I keep a ton of lard in the freezer, and save all my bacon grease.
(I have one recipe for Carrot Cake that I haven’t made in a long while, which called for ‘vegetable oil’; then I changed to Canola - which by some lights has problems of its own - and I have no idea what I’ll use the next time I make it :-)
But if you do a search on ‘is corn oil healthy’, you’ll find lots of opinions/information.
