sablejet 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2009 Hi, Starting to be more health conscious lately. Was told that my trusty knife brand isn't that healthy for the heart, and that I should switch to Mazola. Anyone heard of this brand? Used it? is it really good? I found it quite expensive.. Thanks!

haru hime 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 have been using Naturel that has Omega 3 and 6... heard that is it good for the heart... for so long that i have been using, i am still alright =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sablejet 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 Haha great stuff Wonder if there are any differences between the brands. I did some research on Mazola, and it seems they are the best selling oil around the world. Endorsed by American Heart Foundation and Singapore Heart Foundation. Maybe that's why it's so expensive.

NeoSquall 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2010 knife and mazola oils are different.. knife oil is peanut oil + canola oil whereas mazola is corn oil.. both give different properties.. and Naturel is either canola oil or sunflower oil or a blend of both.. also got different properties.. Im using olive oil for my cooking.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So far have been using Naturel to cook for children, touched by the radio ad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeoSquall 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 what type you use for cooking? I find those light olive oils have no smell.. well there is abit if you sniff it while it is heating up.. keep those extra virgin ones for salad dressings.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*~YuMikO~* 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2010 olive oil will be better choice but not recommended for high heat because will lost all the nutrient. I read grapeseed oil is better for cooking. I have both Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BabyHudu 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2010 Actually I read from a book that we shud only use olive oil and canola oil. The rest of the oil are quite high in saturated fats Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
