Refined oils,
including coconut oil,
are generally considered harmful due to a combination of factors
related to their processing and fatty acid profile.
❖
Here's why:
- Processing and loss of nutrients: The refining process uses high heat, pressure, and chemical solvents, which strip away beneficial antioxidants, vitamins, and other nutrients.
- This also can damage the oil's structure and increase the likelihood of it becoming rancid.
- Harmful compounds formed: High heat processing can create compounds like trans fats and lipid peroxides, which are harmful to the body.
- Oxidative Stress and Free Radicals: Refined oils are less stable and more prone to oxidation when exposed to heat, light, and air.
- This oxidation can generate harmful free radicals that damage cells and DNA, contributing to inflammation and increasing the risk of chronic diseases.
- Imbalance of Omega-6 Fatty Acids: Many refined oils, like soybean, corn, and canola oil, are high in omega-6 fatty acids. While omega-6s are essential, a diet with an imbalance of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids can promote inflammation and increase the risk of various health problems, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
- Potential contamination: Chemical solvents used in the refining process can leave residues in the final product. Studies have also detected harmful substances like phthalates in some refined oils, including coconut oil, according to Mamavation.
- Coconut Oil's Saturated Fat: While coconut oil contains medium-chain fatty acids that may offer some benefits, it is very high in saturated fat.
- High intake of saturated fat can raise LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. The American Heart Association recommends limiting saturated fat intake.

Unlike virgin coconut oil, the refining process removes some beneficial compounds and antioxidants, though refined coconut oil still contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that may offer some health benefits.
However, coconut oil is high in saturated fat (about 90%), which has been associated with increased LDL cholesterol levels when consumed in excess.
While some research suggests the type of saturated fat in coconut oil may affect the body differently than other saturated fats, most health organizations still recommend limiting saturated fat intake to about 10% of daily calories 1.
If you choose to use coconut oil, consider alternating it with other cooking oils like olive oil or avocado oil, and be mindful of portion sizes—typically one tablespoon (about 14 grams) is considered a serving.
For cooking purposes, refined coconut oil has a higher smoke point than virgin coconut oil, making it better suited for high-heat cooking methods.
Some studies have suggested that the type of saturated fat in coconut oil may have a different effect on the body compared to other saturated fats, and that it may even have some health benefits, such as improving HDL cholesterol levels and reducing inflammation 2,3.
However, more research is needed to fully understand the effects of coconut oil on health. It's also worth noting that the processing of coconut oil can affect its nutritional content, and that virgin coconut oil may be a better choice than refined coconut oil due to its higher content of beneficial compounds and antioxidants.
In terms of dietary guidelines, the American Heart Association recommends using liquid plant oils, such as olive oil, instead of tropical oils like coconut oil, due to their higher content of unsaturated fats and lower content of saturated fats 1.
However, it's also important to consider the overall dietary pattern and not just focus on individual nutrients or foods. A balanced diet that includes a variety of whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, is likely to provide the best support for overall health and well-being.
Overall, while refined coconut oil is not necessarily "bad" for you, it's still important to consume it in moderation as part of a balanced diet. By being mindful of portion sizes and alternating it with other cooking oils, you can enjoy the potential health benefits of coconut oil while minimizing its potential drawbacks.

Your well-being is highly linked to the food you put on the table and the ingredients you choose to use in your meals. It’s not just about the dishes you serve but about the heart of your cooking.
Whether it’s the tadka of your favourite sabzi or the creation of those special festive meals, cooking oils have been used in kitchens for generations. Our ancestors knew the secrets of selecting the suitable oils & the correct quantity to use, not just to make food tasty but to keep their loved ones nourished.
In this blog, we will delve into how our cooking oils have transformed over the years, from the traditional cold-pressed varieties to the refined options that have become so common in our kitchens. We’ll uncover the reasons behind this evolution and explore its impact on our health. Join us on this enlightening journey as we trace the path from the past to the present and discover the choices ahead.
The Rise of Refined or Hot Pressed Oils
Ask your grandparents about the type of oil they used in their younger days; their responses would almost always carry a sense of nostalgia. They will fondly recall using the term “Kachi Ghani” or “Kolhu” oil.
In modern times, we refer to this as “cold-pressed oil.” Interestingly, this traditional method is not a recent innovation; it’s a practice deeply rooted in history and has been cherished for centuries, especially in India. The process involves carefully crushing seeds or nuts in a wooden or stone mortar, preserving the natural essence of the source material.
When globalization entered, it completely transformed how we saw our familiar cooking ingredients. With their marketing strategies, big brands set out to change how we cook. It was as if ghee, butter, and the oils we’d grown up with – were associated with heaviness, encouraging consumers to opt for lighter and supposedly healthier alternatives like refined oils.
This shift wasn’t subtle; it was a powerful message we encountered in countless advertisements. These ads promoted refined oils as tastier and lighter and promising to boost your energy levels. They made us envision refined oils as the superior choice for our health and that of our family.
The shift to refined oils was primarily fueled by marketing strategies that portrayed them as healthier options, even though this may not have been the case. The production and use of refined oils in India commenced in the early 20th century as the country’s industrialization and modernization of the cooking oil industry unfolded.

The Refining Process
To improve cost efficiency, companies have started using the solvent extraction method, employing chemicals such as hexane and subjecting the process to higher temperatures to extract oil from raw materials. Hexane dissolves oil and separates it from the solid material. This helps in getting all the oil out of the source material.
After hexane does its job, it quickly turns into vapour and leaves the extracted oil behind. However, it’s crucial to highlight that the use of hexane has sparked environmental and health concerns due to its classification as a volatile organic compound.
Hold on! The process doesn’t end here. The refinement process has yet to start. There are a few steps involved in refining the oil, and they are
1. Degumming
Degumming removes natural phospholipids, or “gums,” from crude vegetable oils. These gums can make the oil hazy and affect its quality and shelf life. Degumming improves the oil’s appearance, taste, and longevity
It’s done with high-pressure steam, high-temperature water, or using acids like phosphoric acid. Note that the Phospholipids or “gums” present in oil harm the oil’s quality, affecting appearance and shelf life, but they are not harmful to human health when consumed in moderate amounts.
2. Neutralization
It involves treating the oil with an alkaline substance, like caustic soda, to neutralize the natural acids present in the oil.
This neutralization enhances the oil’s stability and shelf life, reducing acidic or off-flavours.
3. Bleaching
This step removes undesirable components from the oil, like particles, colour pigments, and contaminants.
Activated clay or carbon agents are added to the oil, absorbing and filtering these impurities. This process produces clearer and lighter-colored crude, making it more visually appealing.
4. Winterization
The process involves cooling the oil and using ethanol or a suitable solvent to selectively remove these undesired components, ensuring the oil remains transparent and liquid even in colder conditions.
It prevents fat particles from solidifying at lower temperatures.
5. Deodorization
This process involves subjecting the oil to high temperatures again, typically around 200 degrees Celsius, while passing low-pressure steam. Deodorisation aims to eliminate any remaining volatile compounds, impurities, and odours from the oil using synthetic antioxidants like TBHQ (tert-butyl hydroquinone) & anti-foaming agents to preserve freshness and control foaming.
Have you ever wondered what’s left of the original substance after all the rigorous heating, refining, distillation, and purification processes?
Hydrogenation: Altering Oils, Impacting Health
This was not enough; another step was added to alter the oils – Hydrogenation. In this process, hydrogen changes liquid fats into solid fats. This results in an excess of trans fats, which isn’t good. Vegetable oils are extracted from plants using a combination of high heat, intense pressure, and chemical solvents.
This leads to oils oxidising, turning rancid, and losing many beneficial properties. In this altered state, they can be considered toxic. Consuming these refined oils regularly may be linked to severe health issues such as cancer, Diabetes Mellitus (DM), gastrointestinal problems, atherosclerosis, obesity, reproductive challenges, and immune dysfunction.
Health Concerns Related to Refined Oils
Cholesterol and Triglycerides
Regular consumption of refined cooking oils, particularly those high in saturated and trans fats, can lead to elevated LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides, increasing the risk of heart disease.
Insulin Resistance
Excessive use of refined oils, mainly those rich in inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids, may promote insulin resistance, potentially contributing to the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
Inflammation
Refined oils can exacerbate inflammation within the body. Chronic inflammation is associated with various diseases, including diabetes, cancer, and heart disease
Refining Process
During the refining process of cooking oils, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) can become rancid, especially when exposed to high temperatures. Rancid PUFAs are less stable and can undergo harmful transformations, including the formation of trans fats.
Trans Fats
Trans fats, which can be produced during the refining process and high-temperature cooking, are detrimental to heart health and should be minimised in the diet.
Reusability
Repeated use of cooking oils, particularly hydrogenated oils like margarine and Crisco, can lead to the accumulation of harmful compounds and an increase in the peroxidase value.
This practice is not recommended and may be associated with health risks, including colorectal cancer, due to the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Understanding these health concerns can help you make informed choices about the types and amounts of cooking oils they use in their daily meals, emphasizing selecting healthier, less processed options.
Transitioning to Better Oil Choices
According to the guidelines set forth by the National Institute of Nutrition, the ideal composition of healthy oils should encompass a balanced presence of three key fatty acids: Monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), Polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), and Saturated fatty acid (SFA). This balance is crucial in promoting overall health and well-being.
In contrast, refined oils, through their processing methods, tend to strip away the natural nutrients present in the source ingredients. Furthermore, the consumption of refined oils has been associated with an increased risk of various diseases and obesity. Therefore, making informed and conscious choices in your cooking oil selection is paramount.
This is where cold-pressed oils emerge as a superior option. Cold-pressed oils are extracted directly from nuts or seeds using traditional, time-honored methods that do not involve refining processes or heat treatments.
This preservation of the oil’s natural integrity and nutritional profile is a hallmark of cold-pressed oils, making them a healthier and more wholesome choice for cooking. By opting for cold-pressed oils, you are enhancing the flavors of your dishes and promoting your long-term health and vitality.
In a world filled with concerns about refined cooking oils, the answer lies in an age-old tradition that our ancestors relied on: cold-pressed oils.
It’s time to revisit this ancient wisdom and discover the benefits of using cold-pressed oils for a healthier and more wholesome approach to cooking and nutrition.
