00:00 People have feelings about oils these days.
00:02 Some people claim certain oils are good for your health
00:05 while others wreak havoc on your body
00:07 in ways you might not realize.
00:08 Avocado oil is made from pressing the pits
00:11 of the avocado fruit.
00:12 It yields a mild flavored oil that has a high smoke point
00:15 compared to other plant-based oils,
00:17 around 520 degrees Fahrenheit,
00:19 which is hotter than most people cook.
00:21 Thanks to its high unsaturated fat content,
00:24 avocado oil can be a heart-healthy option for regular use.
00:27 It's also packed with antioxidants,
00:29 which can help reduce bodily inflammation
00:32 and protect against cell damage.
00:34 Coconuts are high in fat,
00:35 which makes them a great candidate to make a cooking oil.
00:38 It also has a relatively high smoke point,
00:40 around 400 degrees Fahrenheit,
00:41 so it can be used in a variety of different cooking methods.
00:44 Coconut oil is solid at room temperature
00:46 and has a higher saturated fat content,
00:49 especially when compared to other plant-based oils.
00:51 Due to its high saturated fat content,
00:53 coconut oil isn't a great fit for daily cooking.
00:56 Overconsuming saturated fats
00:58 might increase the risk of heart disease
00:59 and cognitive decline over time.
01:01 Avocado oil might be a better option for regular use,
01:05 whereas coconut oil is better to use sparingly
01:07 in dishes where you really wanna enjoy its flavor.
01:09 I hope this answered your questions.
01:11 Thanks for watching, and eat well.
