Oil Myths That Make You Healthier

Oil is one of the most misunderstood foods. Some people avoid it completely, while others overuse it thinking “healthy oil means unlimited.” Let’s cut through the confusion and bust the myths.

Myth 1: All Oils Are Bad for HealthTruth: The type of oil matters. Cold-pressed oils retain antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids that support your heart, skin, and immunity.

Myth 2: Heating Oil Destroys All NutrientsTruth: While some delicate oils (like flaxseed) shouldn’t be heated, others (like groundnut, mustard, and sesame) are stable for cooking and frying. It’s about choosing the right oil for the right use.

Myth 3: Refined Oils Are SaferTruth: Refined oils often go through chemical processing, bleaching, and high-heat extraction. Cold-pressed oils avoid that — giving you natural nutrition without hidden residues.

Myth 4: Expensive Oils = Better OilsTruth: A higher price doesn’t always mean higher quality. Look for cold-pressed, wood-pressed, or unrefined labels and transparent sourcing, not just branding.

Myth 5: Oil Makes You Gain Weight No Matter WhatTruth: Excess of anything can cause weight gain. But moderate use of healthy oils can actually support metabolism and satiety, helping you manage weight better.

Don’t let myths decide what’s on your plate. Cold-pressed oils aren’t about avoiding fat — they’re about choosing better fats. Arkka Oils brings you the oils your kitchen deserves, minus the myths.
