High oleic sunflower oil

#1

Has anyone tried high oleic sunflower oil? The fatty acid ratio of omega 3:6 is even better than EVOO. Sally Fallon, from the Weston A. Price Foundation, has approved it It is also milder than olive oil so works very well if you are sensitive to the strong bite of the EVOO.

If it’s good for Sally, it’s good for me! She’s a goddess!

Dr Phinney (:phinney: ) prefers a high oleic Safflower oil.

Does Dr. Phinney have any data regarding the omega 3:6 ration of the polyunsaturates in high oleic Safflower Oil?

We have two farms here in WI that are producing cold pressed, organic, high oleic Sunflower Oil. The seeds for these sunflowers are bred to be high oleic. Quite unique I believe.

I believe he had a friend who was able to lab test his available supply - and he was able to choose the best available.

I’m not sure how they cold press the oil out of the seeds. You can get more information from the following: www.centurysunoil.com

He mentioned it in a lecture. I’ll have to review the usual ones to find it for you.

Here’s an interesting post from Break Nutrition (a guest post) with details about Omega 6 vs 3. Does anyone have any contrasting or supporting information?
