    Do you like to cook ahead and put meals in the freezer?

    Dr.Oz says that canola oil or olive oil is good for us. I would use those and stay away from vegetable oil and corn oil. Since you are using such a small amount to coat the crockpot it more than likely wouldn't matter that much anyway.

Antioxidants: Antioxidants are natural preservatives that reduces the rate of oxidation (which is what makes oils go rancid). You can add antioxidants directly to your oils to help keep them fresh, or you...

    This is good information. I was trying to find out what vegetables have the most starch and this post answers that question. It makes me sad that corn is included in the list since corn on the cob is a favorite.
