 Did you know that grapeseed oil
is one of the few foods that not only lowers LDL (the bad
cholesterol), but raises HDL (the good
cholesterol)?
Grapeseed oil is enjoying a rapid
rise in popularity today. Although this oil is relatively new
to our market, it has been produced and enjoyed in Europe for
many years—sold not only as a cooking oil, but also in French
pharmacies as a remedy for high cholesterol. In fact,
grapeseed oil is one of the only foods shown to not only lower
LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, but also increase HDL (“good”)
cholesterol—a distinct advantage over other oils. This
wonderful oil is now available from Watkins for the home cook
concerned with good health and great taste.
Our grapeseed oil, actually a cold
pressed grape seed extract, is available unflavored or with
natural flavoring essential oils, and enhances your favorite
cooking:
- Original as a wonderfully light,
neutral flavor that complements any cuisine.
- Garlic &
Parsley for anytime
you want a "burst" of garlic flavor (great for garlic
bread!)
- Citrus &
Cilantro is great
for Southwestern, Caribbean and Asian cooking.
Watkins Grapeseed Oil
is:
- Delicious: Unlike canola oil,
grapeseed oil has a wonderful, light flavor; unlike olive
oil, its light, neutral flavor won’t clash with certain
foods.
- Versatile: Excellent as a
dipping oil, on pastas, for sautéing and stir-frying; as the
primary oil in salad dressings and marinades; anywhere you
would use cooking oil.
- Low in saturated
fat: At 8%, it
has only half the saturated fat of olive oil; the lowest of
all oils except canola.
- Highest in
polyunsaturated fat:
(72%), all as linoleic acid (Omega-6), which has the
greatest effect in raising HDL (good) cholesterol and
lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides (fat
carried in the blood).
- Environmentally
friendly:
Pressed from grape seeds in Italy after wine production, it
requires no new farmland or water to produce.
- Contains
antioxidants: Contains
vitamin E, and a group of bioflavonoids known as
proanthocyanadins, some of the most powerful known natural
antioxidants.
- High
flashpoint: Highest
flashpoint of all cooking oils; less smoke, less danger of
burning.

“Following bypass
surgery in 1987 and a heart attack in 1991, my family doctor
tried every prescription drug he knew of to raise my HDL (the
good cholesterol) and to lower my LDL (the bad cholesterol),
but to no avail. That is, until my physical in 1999 when my
LDL dropped from 121 to 65 and my HDL (good cholesterol) went
from 26 to 41. The doctor could not figure out what caused
this sudden change. The only "data" to support this positive
change was my daily use of Watkins Grapeseed Oil, along with
Watkins Garlic Oil Softgels and other Watkins Dietary
Supplements. Thanks Watkins, for virtually saving my
life!”
