For               most               cuisines               oil               plays               an               essential               role               whether               it               is               in               sauteing               vegetables,               deep-frying               foods               or               even               topping               off               Mediterranean               cuisine.

When               going               to               the               grocery               store               we               see               a               large               variety               of               oil               options,               it               seems               the               one               we               Americans               are               most               familiar               seeing               are               olive               oil               and               what               we               generically               call               vegetable               oil.

Although               we               may               be               most               familiar               with               these               oils,               there               are               many               more               oils               to               choose               from               all               with               a               varying               degree               of               healthfulness               and               uses.
               Here               is               a               basic               overview               of               the               most               commonly               available               oils               on               the               market:

Most               oils               are               high               in               fat               but               oils               with               higher               amounts               of               unsaturated               fats,               are               generally               healthier.

               So               lets               break               down               all               of               the               previously               listed               oils               into               the               categories               of               "good               fats"               and               "bad               fats",               knowing               this               can               translate               into               "good               heart,               good               cholestoral,               good               diet"

               It               has               long               been               touted               that               a               Mediterranean               diet               is               one               of               the               healthiest               and               recently               CNN               did               an               expose               on               the               Greek               island               of               Ikaria               and               the               longevity               of               its               people.

The               inhabitants               of               Ikaria               and               other               Mediterranean               locales               generally               incorporate               olive               oil               into               their               cuisine.

When               using               olive               oil,               one               must               also               remember               that               it               does               not               have               a               high               smoke               point               (around               375               Fahrenheit               for               extra               virgin               olive               oil)               and               should               not               really               be               used               for               frying               or               sauteing.

However,               the               below               recipe               taken               from               CNN's               trip               to               Ikaria               could               serve               as               a               starting               point               to               begin               eating               like               the               locals               of               Ikaria.

Remove,               pour               in               remaining               raw               olive               oil               and               serve.
               Although               most               of               us               have               already               associated               Olive               Oil               with               being               healthy               you               may               wonder               what               are               the               uses               of               the               other               healthy               oils?

Flax               seed               oil               is               usually               less               talked               about               but               is               reaping               with               health               benefits.

It               contains               omega-3,6               and               9,               B               vitamins,               potassium,               lecithin,               magnesium,               fiber,               protein,               and               zinc.

Flaxseed               oil               has               been               shown               to               have               many               healthy               benefits               ranging               from               lowering               cholesterol               and               blood               pressure               to               improving               the               absorption               of               calcium.

For               those               of               us               not               familiar               with               the               oil               we               may               not               know               how               to               use               it.

One               suggested               use               would               be               to               use               flax               seed               oil               like               you               would               butter               or               you               could               add               it               to               your               salad               dressings               or               to               a               hummus.
               Finally,               believe               it               or               not               a               healthy               oil               may               just               have               been               the               one               we               always               saw               in               our               moms               kitchen               pantry.

Canola               oil               only               has               6%               saturated               fat               and               62%               mono-saturated               fat.

As               you               probably               already               know               it               can               be               used               in               a               variety               of               ways               from               frying               to               salad               dressings.

A               study               in               the               Journal               of               the               American               Dietetic               Association               found               that               switching               to               only               canola-based               products               could               reduce               your               saturated               fat               intake               by               almost               10%,               and               increase               your               ALA               intake               by               nearly               73%.

One               of               the               easiest               ways               to               make               an               improvement               in               our               own               diets               is               to               replace               solid               fats               (such               as               margarine               and               butter)               in               recipes               with               canola               oil.

This               can               also               be               done               with               safflower               or               sunflower               oil.
               Peanut               and               sesame               oil               is               also               a               variety               of               oil               we               often               see               in               the               Asian               section               of               the               supermarket               but               it               is               not               as               common               as               other               oils               in               the               American               household.

For               deep               frying,               peanut               oil               can               be               ideal               as               it               may               be               taken               to               high               temperatures               without               burning.

Also               although               it               has               the               word               peanut               in               its               name,               it               will               not               cause               an               allergic               reaction               because               the               allergen               is               a               protein,               not               a               fat               The               flavour               is               especially               appropriate               for               Chinese,               Japanese,               Korean               and               Thai               cooking.Sesame               oil               is               derived               from               sesame               seeds               and               often               seen               in               more               East-Asian               cuisines.

Most               in               Asia               used               Roasted               Sesame               Oil               for               seasoning               but               in               South               India               it               is               often               used               for               performing               Hindu               religious               ceremonies               (or               puja)               in               temples               and               is               even               used               for               hair               treatments
               When               looking               at               the               oils               that               can               be               good               or               bad               for               us               many               of               us               may               be               happy               to               learn               that               canola               and               olive               oils               are               healthy               since               they               are               common               items               in               the               home.

However,               especially               in               American               homes               butter               and               margarine               are               strong               temptations               to               add               to               food               to               give               it               a               great               taste.

These               choices               though               may               be               making               our               body               unhealthy.

When               looking               for               a               butter               substitute               we               have               many               varieties               that               are               more               healthy               such               as               smart               balance               spread               or               non-hydrogenated               soft               margarine,               or               flaxseed               oil               for               the               more               adventurous.
               The               wealth               of               information               available               today,               alongside               an               increase               in               oil               options               at               the               grocery               store               should               make               it               easier               to               make               health               conscious               decisions.

Perhaps               after               this               article               you               can               part               with               your               beloved               butter?
