10 Ingredients Nutritionists Avoid at All Costs

Cheap Vegetable Oils

“Cheap oils like soybean, corn oil, and cottonseed oil are highly processed, contain high amounts of pro-inflammatory omega-6 saturated fats, and offer very little heart-healthy omega-3s. Instead of using these fats in your cooking, switch to avocado or coconut oil, which have both been shown to aid weight loss. Both oils have high smoke points, too, so they’re great options for pan-frying.” — Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN, founder of Isabel Smith Nutrition

”Eighty percent of the fat in palm kernel oil is saturated, and the cooking oil doesn’t offer any real health-promoting properties. Instead, cook with oils that are made up of mono and polyunsaturated fats that have a medium to a high smoking point. Canola and olive oil both fit the bill.” — Heather Mangieri, RDN
