The jury is not out anymore....it is a "hung" jury. Some say it is good for you and some say it is the devil. I use it only now and again. I mostly use Cold pressed unrefined extra virgin olive oil (for salads and for adding to foods after cooking like soups) or coconut oil (great for high heat cooking). Butter can also be used or cooking.

I have experimented with sesame oil, grapeseed oil, avacado oil, etc. I also like Macadamia nut oil for cooking on medium heat.

I make sure to eat nuts and seeds as well as flax oil and fish/fish oil daily for a balance of oils.

Where did you read it? There's at least one old piece that has outrageous untrue stuff. I'm not saying there aren't negatives, but there's also some pretty wild things out there.

I use several kinds. Coconut oil like all that Shay said, olive oil and light olive oil, grapeseed oil, and Smart Balance- canola/soy/olive oil and if I could afford it I would use the different nut oils. It all depends on what I cook and how much I need. Sometimes I use some of each. Coconut oil for popcorn for sure...gotta have that. Bean salad- I use part olive and part either grapeseed or Smart Balance. For bread and brushing the top- light olive oil. If I need, say 1/2 cup in a cake, I usually just use Smart Balance. I am not crazy about the taste of olive oil but its healthiest when you don't heat it up so its good to use it for dressings like the bean salad. Oh and I use peanut oil or the coconut for stir fry. One tip I learned years ago is sometimes when you fry foods you can just use water like if you want to fry chicken strips for a stir fry just add water as needed and watch it close so it doesn't stick and -no oil.

From what I understand, canola is very high in omega-6 fatty acids. This is part of what is contributing to the imbalance in a lot of people's diets. Your omega 6 to omega 3 ratio should be 1:1. Most people's is WAY out of proportion, with omega 6 FAR outnumbering their omega 3's. This is why I don't use it. I cook in butter or olive oil, that's it. I can't afford coconut!

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Lysine is helpful for "cold sores" (oral herpes).

      @Wheatwacked, Are you aware of the interaction of potassium iodide and losartan ?   https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/iodine-potassium-iodide-with-losartan-1368-0-1489-0.html#:~:text=Talk to your doctor before,to safely use both medications.

      As a life.long celiac, I understand this.  I simply ask that the medical profession stop disregarding the fact that it should remain a concern for some. It cost me a lot of medical discomforts.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.
