TrinaM Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hi there all, I'm new, and I'm reading It Starts With Food. In the chapter on OILS, the recommendation is to AVOID high-oleic seed oils. However, I found a recipe for mayonnaise (whole30.com/mayo) which states, "You can also use a high-oleic safflower or sunflower oil. The seeds used to make these oils have been bred to contain more healthy monounsaturated fats and less polyunsaturated fats, making their nutrition profile almost identical to olive oil." So... which is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted April 14, 2021 Moderators Share Posted April 14, 2021 In general, the website is more up to date than the books, unless you've found a really old article that predates publication of one of the books. In this case, the website is definitely the newer info than ISWF, which was the very first book, so you can go ahead and use the high-oleic seed oils.

TrinaM Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 Alright! Thanks. I asked because I've been using Tessemae's mayo and it has high-oleic sunflower oil. I suppose, then, that tuna in sunflower oil is good, also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healthgrab Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 The thing with books is that, it can be outdated. That's why it is important to check other sources as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
