Today with David McCullagh · The truth about cooking with seed oils · 22 Sep 2026 podcast

Um because the more that we use them and uh heat them, the more likely it is to cause the lysal impurities in them.

So so great question.

It tends to be vegetable oil or rapeseed oil because it is so much cheaper um when we're just using it to uh as a a cooking medium so things don't stick to the pan.

I am a lover though of the taste of olive oil.

So if I am having a salad or creating a dip with, say, yogurt and and oil, I'd always have an olive oil there because of the lovely flavour.

And I know that it's got lots of anti inflammatory properties.

properties too, but not so much in my cooking purely because gosh, they really do know how to charge for it now.

So where they're really helpful is in terms of portion size management.

And I suppose before we get onto this phrase, just to give an idea of what is a portion size when it comes to using oils, a tablespoon, believe it or not, is uh of say olive oil is considered a portion.

That gives us roughly about a hundred calories worth, right?

Now if you free pour into the pan, chances are you're probably putting a couple of tablespoons in there and adding in.

Plenty of extra calories that you're unaware of.

So we have wonderful butter in Ireland.

So a little bit of what you like goes a long way, is what I would say.

If we're having butter, I would say maybe have it somewhere where the taste, you get more of the taste.

So it could be on a lovely piece of homemade brown bread occasionally, rather than cooking everything in butter.

It tends to be uh just a good option to keep it away from added into cooking um as a way to reduce your overall saturated fat intake.

Every so often.

A little of what you like goes a long way.

I'd stick with that.
