Use only a tiny drizzle of plain safflower oil if needed. Too much can cause loose stool or weight gain. Avoid flavored or seasoned oils. Do not add extra oil to an already complete diet.
Safflower oil is a pale, neutral-tasting oil pressed from safflower seeds, used in cooking, salad dressings, and baking. Very calorie-dense.
Provides fat and linoleic acid but adds concentrated calories with little other nutrition. Sometimes used in small amounts in commercial pet foods.
Rancid oil smells sharp and should be discarded. Bottles can drip on counters and pantry shelves. Store away from heat with the cap tightly closed.
