My Oil of Choice, Olive Oil!
By June M. Lay,
My oil of choice is Olive Oil, because while a fat is a fat when we refer to calories, not all fats (including oils) are equal when we refer to our health.
I’ve chosen Olive Oil because it leads by a margin when we compare it to other oils that are good for our health! I also think olive oil leads in taste too, but more on this later. Fat is a necessary nutrient for our health so we can’t live without it.
Fat also makes our food tastier, and since we have a satiety center for fat in our brain, it gives us a sense of fullness.
Why is olive oil my choice in oils? Let’s begin with a little background on fats.
