Flaxseed Oil Instead?
Q: How does MacNut Oil compare with Flaxseed oil?
A: It is difficult to compare, because as you probably know, Flaxseed oil is not a cooking oil since it is so fragile that it should never be heated. However, Flaxseed oil is a good source of the helpful Omega 3 fatty acids. If you care enough about your health to use flaxseed oil as a dietary supplement, you will definitely want to use MacNut Oil in the kitchen.
Grapeseed Oil Instead?
Q: I have heard people mention Grapeseed oil. What is the buzz about?
A: Tell anyone you know who is interested in grapeseed oil that they have probably only gotten part of the story. Perhaps you should tell them about MacNut Oil and this web site. As mentioned above under smoke point, grapeseed oil has is very high in omega-6 fatty acids. We already get too much omega-6 fatty acids in our diets - perhaps 20 times as much as our ancestors did. Using grapeseed oil will only increase that toxic burden. Also, grapeseed oil has only about 20% monounsaturated fats, the ones that give the Mediterranean diet its heart-healthy reputation.
