00:00Four registered dietitians were asked to name the healthiest cooking oil, and they all said the same thing.

00:07Unless you are boiling, steaming, or baking your meal, you usually require some sort of fat or oil to cook with.

00:14Not only does this stop the food from sticking to the pan, but it also adds its own distinctive flavor to the dish

00:20and enables the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, such as A, D, E, and K.

00:26Four registered dietitians, Sam Schlieger, Sapna Peruvemba, Sheila Patterson, and Jamie Adams,

00:34identified several important factors when choosing cooking oils.

00:39Smoke point is crucial, as oils with low smoke points oxidize when heated, forming inflammatory compounds.

00:47Minimally processed oils retain more antioxidants and nutrients.

00:51Proper storage in dark, cool places prevents rancidity.

00:54Nutritionally, dietitians prioritize oils with healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated fats, which benefit heart health.

01:04As Schlieger explained, when it comes to choosing cooking oils, I'm always thinking about how the body responds,

01:10how stable the oil is under heat, and how it supports inflammation, hormones, gut health, and mineral balance.

01:17All four dietitians unanimously agreed that olive oil is the healthiest cooking oil.

01:23Peruvemba stated,

01:24Olive oil is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and contains polyphenols,

01:30powerful antioxidants that support cardiovascular health by lowering inflammation and improving blood lipids.

01:37Olive oil is not only nutritious, but also versatile and flavorful.

01:42For best results, use extra virgin olive oil for dressings and moderate heat,

01:48and light olive oil for high-heat cooking like searing and frying.
