The Truth Why Minola is the Healthy Cooking Oil
For
many of us who loves eating fried food, the thought about the fats and
cholesterol it carries is a scary thing. Over the years we have been warned
about the dangers of fats and cholesterol inside our body but then many of the
food we come to enjoy are mostly deep fried and it’s so hard to resist eating
them.
But did
you know that there’s cooking oil that can improve cholesterol and help kills harmful
microorganism when using it? It’s the Minola Premium Coconut Cooking Oil. The Minola
brand has been around for over half a century and deemed number one in the
Philippine Coconut Oil Center and also the leading brand in the over-all in
cooking oil category.
During
the media presentation held at the Oracle Hotel last February 28, 2017, Minola
and its special guest Dr. Fabian Dayrit, a prominent authority on coconut oil research study and a
chemistry professor at the Ateneo de Manila University, provided information about the many benefits of coconut oil, how we are often confused about fats and
cholesterol and the goodness of Minola Cooking Oil because it comes from
Coconut oil.
Minola prides itself on its strict quality standards; its Minola Cooking Oil is one of the leading brands of coconut oil in the
Philippines.
The use of Coconut oil has become a
popular trend in the early years but in the mid 1980’s to early 2000s, a study
revealing Coconut oil as unhalthy and causes heart diseases was widely accepted
by the general public. Coconut products then suffered a lot and for many years
use of coconut oil is considered harmful because of the fats and cholesterol
derived from it.
It is only in recent years that the study is
proven wrong. This is also the period when Coconut Oil is praised for its
versatility. It has many uses and can be used for baking, skin moisturising, speeding up wound healing , increasing hydration for dry skin
and of course its main use – frying food. As a superfood, coconut oil can boost metabolism and the
saturated fats we used to consider unhealthy is in fact a safe source of energy
for humans.
Dr. Dayrit’s
presentation is an eye-opener. I learned that some oil when put under too much
heat creates chemical that is harmful to our body.
He also expounded on Coconut oil many health
benefits because it contains and is rich in fatty acid called Lauric Acid.
As deep fried food have
become our staple, at home or our favorite restaurant, what oil we use is
important. We need to
know that there are various types of oils for various methods of cooking. For
deep frying, oil with saturated fats is best cooking.
Here’s a basic fact: Coconut oil - being a saturated fat - is capable of withstanding
fiercer temperatures, making it useful oil for cooking. When it comes to high heat cooking, coconut oil is your best
choice. Since the fatty acids in it are saturated, this makes it very resistant
to heat.
Minola Premium Cooking Oil is one of the products of San Pablo Manufacturing Corp.
