Olive oil. Extra virgin. It’s the superhero that doesn’t break under heat or turn your arteries into a war zone. Avocado oil is also great—it’s like the chill cousin who brings good snacks to the party.
Coconut oil? Solid at room temperature, which freaks people out, but it’s mostly saturated fat that’s actually stable when heated. Butter? Delicious. Real. Your grandma used it, and she lived to be 93.
The point is: don’t let the “vegetable oil” label fool you. Safflower oil is a frenemy—it looks healthy, but it’s plotting against you from inside your ranch dressing. Kick it to the curb. Your taste buds and your belly will thank you. Maybe not in that order.
