FST's Dr. Selina Wang is quoted extensively in a March 7, 2025 story in The Washington Post, "Which oil do you cook with? The answer can impact your health. Extra-virgin olive oil has the most scientific evidence for its health benefits. But avocado and high-oleic vegetable oils are also good for your health." (Paywall applies.)

Wang said avocado oil, fermented oil and high-oleic vegetable (seed) oils are all excellent choices for use at home in your kitchen, but that her go-to is extra-virgin olive oil.  She discusses smoke point and why it may not be the most valid characteristic to use when choosing a cooking oil, and the benefits of high-oleic oils such as olive and avocado.  She is joined by Frank M. Sacks at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, who also weighs in on the social medial controversy around seed oils.  Wang also shares her thoughts on the  benefits of fermented oil.
