Question
Can sunflower seed oil, peanut oil, rapeseed oil, and sesame oil be consumed directly? Or do they all need to be heated before consumption? Can they be consumed daily? Are there any drawbacks? How should these four types of oils be paired for a healthier consumption?
Answer
Directly consuming oils is not a good health practice, and there is no recommendation to consume them in the manner you mentioned. Regardless of the type of oil, even those primarily composed of unsaturated fatty acids like vegetable oils, it is not advisable to consume them in excessive amounts. Using a very small amount daily for seasoning is beneficial, but it should not be overdone. These are my suggestions for the question about “sunflower seed oil, peanut oil, rapeseed oil, and sesame oil,” and I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
