Attempting to summarize:
* In terms of cooking stability - saturated fats > monounsaturated fatty acids > polyunsaturated fatty acids.
* The less stable the cooking oil, the more damage (oxidation?) occurs while cooking, the more inflammation they cause
* Seed oils are generally to be avoided, especially ones that advertise a high smoke point. This is due to a highly industrialized refinement process that damages the oils (see previous point)
* High smoke point avocado oil is included in the above category (avoid)
* Extra virgin avocado oil is good (but don’t cook with it)
* saturated fats are healthy
* high carbohydrate intake is bad for your arteries
He recommends the following for cooking:
* ghee
* butter
* coconut oil
* olive oil
