The ketogenic diet continues to increase in popularity as more people recognize the benefits of high fat diets and reject traditional nutritional dogma. Popsugar.com joined the fray with 20 new keto recipes. While it is great that the benefits of the keto diet are gaining recognition, the recipes they provided left something to be desired.
One of the most common mistakes made by people in search of healthy eating options is selecting the wrong cooking oil. The ostensibly healthy diets listed in the Popsugar.com feature rely heavily on canola, and even the spray variety is mentioned in several of the recipes. Research demonstrates canola oil led to significant declines in working memory and has a significant impact on weight management.
To make matters worse, canola oil is manufactured from genetically engineered rapeseed plants altered to reduce levels of erucic acid toxic to humans and processed through several chemical baths before being bleached. To repeat, canola oil is not a healthy fat that benefits your brain, and research has shown that canola oil may trigger cognitive decline.
