This angers me because Avocado oil is NOT cheap.
I pay the extra money for it because seed oils such as canola, and vegetable oils are known to be very bad for you whereas, avocado oil has many health benefits.
I looked up the brand that I usually buy (Better Body Foods) and was relieved that it seems to be an ok brand. They claim to be Non-GMO Cooking Oil, Kosher, Keto and Paleo Diet Friendly.
I can't find that this is a brand that was recently tested with the other brands that were. So, I have to take their word for it.
It is a refined oil. That is not as good as unrefined because unrefined avocado oil keeps nutritional value and numerous health benefits. Refined avocado oil loses many of its beneficial properties during processing. Unrefined avocado oil retains its essential vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fats. So learning this makes me sad, knowing that I will have to pay even more money for an already expensive type of oil to get one that is nutritious. I thought I WAS using a nutritious oil.
Another brand that I recently bought is Tantillo Avocado Oil. On its site it claims, "Tantillo Avocado Oil is a high heat natural wonder. The oil is extracted from the fruit by cold pressing, and then carefully refined to create a clean, fresh oil. Whether you’re sautéing, frying, grilling or baking, you can rest assured this oil will stand up to the challenge. The extremely high heat “smoke point” of 500 degrees Fahrenheit will keep this Avocado Oil from breaking down in high heat conditions." I can't find if it has been tested so I have to take their word for it.
If I understand correctly, this oil isn't processed as much thus is healthier than the Better Body Foods brand.
Here is some links to things I just discussed.
