I only use oils/fats from Omega Nutrition. On safe use in cooking they say:
Flax up to 120 degrees F
Olive oil up to 325
Coconut up to 375
(they have numbers on other oils as well, but I only use these 3)

I follow the above recommendations, and don't heat flax at all ever. I'm just
wondering about the nuts....I think it's fine that I slow-roasted/dried them at a
temp under 150, I think this is safe. (I'm doing it only for taste, and I'm not a
raw foodie so I have no problem with it). I'm just wondering if it's a really bad
idea to use these in cooking recipes (stuffing in meats, in sauces, as toppings).
It puzzles me that Fallon emphasizes preserving these PUFAs, then includes cooking
them in many recipes. Anyone have her e-mail so I can ask her? Oh, Omega also says
that in baking muffins/breads at 325, the moisture keeps the inside temp under 212.
But that still seems too high for nuts/seeds.

>>p.s. Had to ask - it's a real long shot - I knew a Feldenkrais practitioner
named Seth Paris who moved to Santa Cruz; did you marry him?

well, whaddya know, such a small world, I did indeed marry Seth. I'm a Feld.
practitioner too, and in grad school for Chinese Med, that's why we moved here. I
also have a Nutrition practice in "Metabolic Nutrition" (see www.bloodph.com) but I
use a more paleo version of it. where do you live?
