Many people have this idea that sunflower oil is automatically bad for you and that it is unhealthy. There may be cases where that is so such as when frying oil is reused or has been obtained from unsavoury cooking oil companies. The truth is that the right kind of cooking oil can be beneficial to your health and is not as detrimental as people may think. How can I say that, you ask? Let me explain it in more detail.
Sunflower oil is one of the most widely consumed cooking oil in the world. While there are some cooking oil manufacturers that just develop oil for quick sales, there are also those manufacturers who take great care during the manufacturing process. They choose the best sunflower seeds and filter the bad ones out of the batch. They use the best machinery to draw the oil out of the sunflower seed. They ensure that the refined sunflower oil is clean and a clear golden yellow colour. The sunflower oil that is bottled after this process is of a healthy nature. It is naturally cholesterol free and low in fat. Your body requires a minimal amount of daily unsaturated fats for energy consumption.
The only time when the health benefits of sunflower oil fall away is when it is reused. Frying oil should never be reused. If you have fried chips in a batch of cooking oil, it is best to dispose of the oil in an environmentally friendly way. Do not be tempted to use it again. It may still look good but you have exposed the oil to another ingredient, the chips. You have infused the oil with the chips particles and, consequently, have introduced impurities. When you use it again, it won't be a pure and clean cooking oil. This is where people fall prey to the unhealthy nature of an impure cooking oil. Be careful of this because there are many take-away restaurants and cafes that use this technique of reusing oil. Be sure to check their credentials and choose a take-away restaurant that puts the customer's health first.
I always advise people to use pure and clean sunflower oil. In that way you can be assured of its health benefits. It can be used in your general cooking on a daily basis and you will remain healthy (provided it is coupled with healthy eating habits and regular exercise). There are only positive reasons to use sunflower oil.
