== Cooking Fats & Oils Compared Table ==
MANY oils are made using genetically modified grains. SEE the GMO information page for labelling requirements  Most of us have a preferred staple cooking “grease” that we use on a regular basis. Cooking oils have been used as the original non-stick pan for centuries. It's always good to know what the best (and healthiest) cooking options for your family are. Most research and the Bible states that, “if used in moderation”, oil, butter and animal fats aren't completely unfriendly towards most diets. Below, get the basics for your next pan-handling adventure in the kitchen. Attempting to find the healthiest cooking oil can be a daunting task. On one hand, you want to cook with an oil that has a high flash (smoke) point, but, you also need to use a cooking oil that has a healthy balance of omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acids and even better if that oil is loaded with antioxidants and vitamins!  Knowing the smoke point of oils is important because heating oil to the point where the oil begins to smoke produces toxic fumes and harmful free radicals in the air your family is breathing. Check out our cooking oil factoids below to help alleviate your confusion! SORT THE TABLE BY CLICKING ON THE ORANGE HEADINGS
