• Over 100 years ago Dr. John Harvey
• Kellogg, M. D., of Battle Creek, taught
• that, “The objection is not against fat,
• per se, but against taking it in a free
• state. When taken in the form in
• which nature presents them,
• enclosed in cells in such vegetable
• foods as maize, oatmeal, nuts, and
• some fruits, fats are wholesome and
• nutritious elements of food. It is
• only when separated from the other
• elements and taken in a free state
• that they become unwholesome. . . .
• It makes little or no difference, so far
• as the interference with digestion is
• concerned, whether the fat is animal
• or vegetable. . . we do not
• recommend the use of any free fat.”
• J. H. Kellogg, M.D.
• Health Reformer, May, 1887
• Again Dr. Crane comments: “In view
• of the fact that free fats are empty
• calories, may be modified during
• refining, delay stomach emptying,
• interfere with protein digestion in
• the stomach, and may become toxic
• radicals through oxidation, we
• conclude that free fats are an inferior
• food.” Milton G. Crane, M.

• What about cold-pressed oils?
• All oils, including cold-pressed oils,
• are heated during processing or they
• would turn rancid very quickly. This
• process changes some of the cis fats
• to trans fats; also, rancidity worsens
• during processing and storage.
• Sound advice:
• “Grease cooked in the food renders it difficult of digestion.”
• Ellen G. White, Healthful Living, 95

Chef's Sourcing & Quality Tips:

• Produce & Aromatics: Always use fresh whole aromatics and seasonal herbs rather than dehydrated powders when possible.
• Cooking Oils: Utilize cold-pressed oils with appropriate smoke points such as extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil.
• Salt & Seasoning: Season from a modest height above the pan to ensure an even, uniform crystalline dispersion.
