Worry as you might about weight issues, you can be rest assured that organic oils are healthier than you think. Extra-virgin cold-pressed olive oil is perfect for dressings. Make sure your oil is cloudy and unfiltered so it retains all of its nutrients. Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which helps your immune system fight viruses, and has been linked to protecting your body against heart disease. Coconut oil can't be stored as fat, instead, the liver converts it right into energy.
