8. Peanut and Other Nut Oils.

There are numerous nut oils available, such as peanut, macadamia, and hazel nut and they certainly do taste wonderful, however, because they are full of polyunsaturated fats, they should not be used for cooking.

You can use them as a part of a recipe, but don’t use these oils for frying.

The same rule applies to peanuts, even though they are technically legumes and not nuts, but their oil makeup is pretty much the same as most nuts.

One exception is macadamia nut oil, which can be used for low temperature cooking, but that’s about as far as it goes.

      Yet another person brainwashed into thinking all animal fat in any amount is bad. And then backing up their attack by saying something totally irrelevant.

    Great list! Read another site’s list touting canola oil as healthy so I knew that list was bunk, but this one I mostly agree with.
