Which Oil Should I Use When?
As you are most likely aware, the most damaging fats and oils for the body are man-made hydrogenated fats (trans-fats) and polyunsaturated fats and vegetable oils. Having undergone hydrogenation processes these fats and oils become a relentlessly toxic product which our bodies cannot process. They affect the entire body, damaging cell structure and unequivocally depressing the immune system.
As a general rule, use these oils in these situations, as they will be the best for you!
