9. Flax Seed Oil.

Flax seed oil contains a great deal of the plant form of omega-3, called alpha linolenic acid, or ALA.  Many vegan use this as an alternative to fish oil to get their omega-3s, however, unless you are vegan, you should stick to fish oil as the body does not fully convert ALA into the more active form of omega-3 EPA and DHA.

As for cooking, since flax seed oil is mostly made up of polyunsaturated fats, this oil should not be used for cooking.

      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.
