In the video “Do NOT Cook with This!!!” Dr. Eric Berg discusses the best and worst oils for deep frying. Contrary to popular belief, vegetable oil is actually seed oil that goes through industrial processing involving harmful chemicals like hexane. This process allows the oil to sit on shelves for long periods. Seed oils are incredibly damaging to the body, leading to insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, obesity, heart disease, and an increased risk for cancer.
Dr. Berg recommends healthier options for frying such as avocado oil, coconut oil, olive oil, beef tallow, butter, and ghee. These oils have higher monounsaturated fats and are less likely to oxidize. He advises against deep frying at high heat and suggests alternatives like pan-frying, air frying, or stir-frying. These cooking methods are better for preserving the nutrients in the food and avoiding the harmful effects of seed oils on the body.
For more information on the damaging effects of seed oils and the healthiest oils for frying, watch Dr. Berg’s video and consider incorporating his recommendations into your cooking routine.

In this video, we’re going to talk about the best and worst oil for deep frying.
Seed oils are polyunsaturated fatty acids. Vegetable oil is actually seed oil—it doesn’t come from vegetables.
Seed oils go through industrial processing involving heating and the addition of solvents like hexane, a chemical found in gasoline. This process allows seed oils to be shelf-stable for long periods of time. Around 25% to 30% of our calories come from seed oils.
When you cook processed foods like donuts in seed oils, you’re combining sugar with fat and heat. This process, called glycation, creates sticky proteins in the body.
Fast food oil is reheated and reused repeatedly. The more it’s heated, the more toxic it becomes.
Seed oils were not originally created for human consumption. They’re incredibly damaging to the mitochondria and lead to insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, obesity, heart disease, and an increased risk for cancer.
Soybean oil causes the most damage to the body, followed by corn oil, sunflower oil, and canola oil. Healthier cooking oils for frying include avocado oil, coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, beef tallow, butter, and ghee. Keep in mind it’s best to cook over low or medium heat. Pan-frying, air-frying, and stir-frying are healthier options than deep-frying over high heat.
