1. Avoid using reheated oil as the toxins released could cause cardio-vascular diseases over time.
2. Brown rice is more nutritious than white rice. White rice is essentially a processed form of white rice, with most of the vitamins, minerals and fibers lost during the "processing".
Of course, these are only guidelines and need to be used with discretion.

3. Choose canola oil for baking and frying, olive oil for dressing over other oils and fats.

Honey has a higher sweetening power than sugar, so use 3/4 cup of honey to replace one cup of sugar. For smaller quantities like a tablespoon, the substitution can be 1:1. For baking, reduce other liquids in the recipe by 1/3 cup and add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda for every cup of honey used. Lower the oven temperature by 25 F to prevent over-browning.
If honey has crystallized, placing the container in hot water for 15 minutes will help return it to its liquid state. Honey should not be heated in the microwave as this alters its taste by increasing its hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) content.
