    I like to look at the smoke point of oil because once it hits that any health benefits goes right out the door.
    But bottom line: measure how much of any oil you use to know the calories your are getting from what you are cooking.


    Avocado seems to be impressive (don't know about cost)
    Smoke Point: 520°F (271°C)
    Omega-6: Omega-3 Ratio (plus other relevant fat information) -12:1, 70% monosaturated, (68% Omega-9 fatty acids)
    High in vitamin E.

    And it is a healthy fat but it is still calories.

    Just out of curiosity, what drew you to find your almost 3 year old thread to reply to a comment from years ago? Haha

    I prefer butter to either olive or avocado for saute. But, there are some foods that don't work without toasted sesame oil.

    I have had a chance to use it and have come to the conclusion that I like avocado oil with the higher smoke point. I can seer food at a higher temperature which I could not do with olive oil.
