I'm new and am wondering if at absolute worse we need to fry something in a small amount of oil, which is the best type of oil to use. The reason I ask is that we like to make cinnamon crisps at home for a fun treat. We just take flour tortillas, fry them and when still warm cover them in cinnamon & suger. I see in the book how I can use fat free tortillas and am hoping to not have to lose this treat because of the oil. Any thoughts or suggestions. I just finished reading the book yesterday and am still trying to piece everything together.

You can use small amounts of canola oil or olive oil if you do need to fry something.

Check this web page
It says "Though it makes no difference to your gastrocolic reflex if you're eating lard or extra-virgin olive oil, it will make quite a difference to your heart and your health in general. Your body needs healthy fats in order to function. Keep your fat intake to 20% - 25% of your total calories, and make your fats count. They should be monounsaturated and contain essential fatty acids, so choose fat sources such as olive oil, canola oil, avocados, finely ground nuts, fatty fish, flax oil, etc."
