Note that we always call for toasted-sesame oil, which is the Asian variety but it is readily available these days in supermarkets. Store oils in a cool, dark place and don't buy more than you can use up in a month or so.

So, not really a reason for it? I dunno, I have only read one of his books and it wasn't really about this stuff. I'm planning to work on eating more like he recommends in his books. Seems like a very positive direction over anything else.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
