Why Choose Healthier Cooking Oils?
Affordable oils like canola, corn, and vegetable oil are widely available, but they may not be the best choice for health, especially when used frequently or at high temperatures. These oils, while convenient, come with certain risks that can affect long-term wellness. Understanding the downsides of these oils can help you make better choices in the kitchen.

Canola, corn, and vegetable oils are high in omega-6 fatty acids, an essential fat that can promote inflammation if consumed in excess.

Choosing oils with a better balance can help support a healthier lifestyle.
