Ghee of Mokshaa is good
Support the farmers!
Read before you comment please - "packed in Australia from imported ingredients"
Genuine 100% local produce will be way more expensive.
Your choice.
Either way still supports a farmer.
No, a company who imports bulk oil and packages locally.
Nothing wrong with that, it's how this Business works - I doubt any farmer will see any of this unless they go to a supermarket etc.
Sounds so healthy. Farmer’s harvest. Investigate seed oils. Not good.
So what do you use? Alternative?
Tallow, Lard, Butter, Ghee, etc - you know, the oils that are natural and actually contain Vitamins :P

Are there large cohorts being tested? Is this only seen in mice?
Is lard or tallow better performing in these studies? Or is more fat bad the actual effect we see?
What's the effect and dosing size?
It's very hard for people who don't normally evaluate science to draw the right conclusions from reading these papers.@Willyslicks: A meta-analysis of observational studies is no better than the observational studies themselves ;)
Surely somebody proclaiming to be able to read science knows how many confounding factors invalidates anything "observational" in nutrition "science" …
However, on the topic of seed oil supplementation instead of saturated fats, there are randomized controlled trials that actually show increased mortality:
ie. Sydney Heart Study and Minesota Women Health Studies - both long term and both large cohorts!@7ekn00: Have you got a link to the Minesota Women Health Studies report? I was unable to find it from a quick google search.
The Sydney Heart Study I found seems to be a pretty small sample size, especially compared to some of the meta-analysis data that is floating around.
We use olive oil mainly but lard or tallow is great. Check out how bad seed oils are for you.
High linoleic acid sunflower oil should only be consumed in very small quantities. Consuming too much is terrible for your health - especially for sunburn. Plenty of studies out there. Very relevant in Australia with strong UV, especially if you burn easily. Much better to spend $4 on a stick of butter than have 1L of garbage vegetable oil. Does anyone know what is going on with the price of olive oil? Saw in Coles yesterday it was like $17-25 per bottle!
Wow, a business insider article shilling sunscreen is trying to debunk healthy living! I wonder the incentives ;)
LOL, the linked 2009 "study" is certainly not long enough to change the omega 6 ratios in the cell lining to show anything …
And for anecdotal, I don't burn, even after 3 hours, no sunscreen, in Darwin sun (but it's taken almost 5 years to lower my cells omega 6/3 ratio enough to do it)
That's great, lets promote sunbathing without sunscreen then. Let's hope the rest of us have the same biology as you.
@Willyslicks: You won't, I have taken 5 years to get my omega 6 / omega 3 ratio low enough to achieve it …
But don't worry about sun bathing, as sun exposure has an inverse relationship to melanoma (just don't get burnt):

Haha bit of bias in my username
Inflammatory, high in omega 6 fatty acids.
Chemical process to extract the small amount of oil in the seeds, then most of the chemicals are removed , then finally deoderised to get rid of any hint of the remaining chemicals….
I wouldn't eat it if it was free
So which oil do you use?
Extra virgin olive oil, colour must be green only otherwise its fake or mixed with rubbish
While I'd like to know more about the effects of lineolic acids, I work in an industry that imports all sorts of botanical oils and wouldn't be too concerned about the manufacturing process.
Sunflower seeds actually have a significant amount of oil in them (40%-50%) so even mechanical expression without chemicals can produce a good yield. Otherwise hexane is generally used for solvent extracted seed oils, the usual tested spec of finished product would be <100ppm residual, so you'd probably consume more by just walking outside and breathing car exhaust fumes unless you're drinking oil by the litre.
Deoderisation is to get rid of the unwanted smells from the seed oil itself, even the cold pressed seed oils that haven't had any chemicals added during extraction generally go through charcoal/rare earth deoderisation because consumers don't want smelly oils.
Those that know better are in fact very concerned.
Omega 6 fatty acids are inflammatory and thats what seed oils are.
Omega 3's are very healthy and are found in olive oils and other foods do your research.
I will never consume seed oils ….
If you have a Costco membership, they are selling 5L Sunflower Oil for $12.99, much better value for money.
is sunflower oil really better than canola ?
I find costco is cheaper. 5L for $13.99. don't know the brand - Mokshaa - is good or bad.
