"I love buying a large bottle of avocado oil at Costco. It can be a bit pricey at regular grocery stores and for a much smaller portion. Avocado oil has a high smoke point of 500 degrees F. Other oils, such as olive oil, have a much lower smoke point, meaning that oils can become carcinogenic when cooked with, if the cook exceeds the smoke point. I love using avocado oil for cooking, especially for roasting veggies." — Lorraine Chu
"Avocado oil is amazing to cook with. It has a higher smoke point compared to other cooking oils. If you cook with certain oils and heat the food temp past that particular degree (ex., olive oil has a smoke point of 350 degrees F), then you may produce carcinogens or cancer-promoting agents." — Emily Wetzel, RD, LDN
