Nihauma:

Ever heard of internet rumors about canola oil? There is no such thingy as canola..it is actuall short for canada oil. Not healthy bla bla bla bla... dont know how true

It's a specially-bred variety of rapeseed. See:

Actually all oils should still be used in moderation no matter how \"healthy\" the claims are. Too much intake of oils will still cause weight gain even if it's the \"good oil\". It's just that palm oils are high in saturated fats, which we should avoid.

Actually if not comfortable with canola oil, sunflower or corn oil are also quite versatile. I use sunflower oil sometimes also.

Eh, I just remembered. Buds, for the canola oil that you have, try to finish within 6 months. Oil tend to oxidise under heat and light and oxygen. So once opened, store in cool dry place in the dark, and away from the stove.

Thanks, Dora1.. it is in a cool very dry place in the kitchen cabinet. Ok, will take note of the 6-mth consumption period once opened note.

It will taste rancid. But more importantly, oxidised oil introduce free radicals to the body, which are potentially carcinogenic. Also oxidised oils LDLs have a higher chance of blocking the arteries. That's why deep frying is supposed to be bad mah, cos it introduced a lot of oxidized oils into the body.
Ok, I'm probably a wet blanket in this thread full of yummy food descriptions and photos!

Err.. yes.

Errmm.. I only share mah. I never once claim they were healthy or whether they need to be. :evil: I cook with what I have to work with.. as I deem fancy and how my family likes it .. that's why can be own kitchen goddess nia. :rotflmao: I cannot afford expensive organics or indulge in better quality produce too often that are supposedly deemed healthier, under a single income and this many children.

All I can do for us is eat to live.

So far they are pretty healthy and don't fall sick often. :xedfingers:
Guess they're lucky I have breast milk. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
