Are products from iherb fake ?

Got different grade for different purposes. Some more refined for high heat cooking. Some less refined for salad dressing.

But some cartels do mix with other oils. Depends where produced.

A small bottle of good avocado oil was about sgd30+ for about 100 - 150ml for salad dressing.

Bought from Marks & Spencer and settle with the one they carried back then, for salad. Heating temperature not to exceed 190 degrees Celsius. Priced reasonable. Then I will find online if unavailable in store.

Low heat cooked eggs sunny side, whites underside will come out a bit greenish though.:(

You have to find your own brand that is suitable after your taste test.

Some don't put source, some do. The level of info varies. I guess depends on pricing.

What is your current omega-3 to omega-6 ratio? If it exceeds 5, 10, or even 25, further increasing omega-6 intake will only exacerbate systemic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction. The smoke point of an oil is a poor predictor of its suitability for cooking, the key parameter to evaluate is its oxidative stability, often measured by the Oxidative Stability Index (OSI), which reflects its resistance to lipid peroxidation and the formation

I guess just avoid oil for cooking ba... Last time I try coconut oil... I think cannot withstand high heat... So most time I just oven or air fryer... Going to invest a steam oven soon...

Yes, the lights do damage oil quality, as the bottles are often placed on shelves and exposed for very long hours. I won’t buy oil from supermarkets because they take a huge cut and mainly stock mass-market, lower-quality oils. Good oils are limited in supply and are often sold out or out of stock.
