Most oils, including olive oil, are harmful when heated or used in cooking due to their low burning point. When the oils are heated beyond their boiling point, the nutrients in the oil are lost and free radicals are created. The only oil that can stand to be heated at high temperatures is coconut oil. High quality, cold-pressed oils can be enjoyed safely if eaten raw, but be mindful that all oils are liquid fats and processed foods.

Food for thought: 1 tbsp of olive oil has approx. 14g of fat, the same as amount as fat in a candy bar!
