So many people who are recently becoming aware of the dangers of seed oils have a hard time recognizing which are the dangerous ones.
These are the seed oils you want to avoid
Canola Oil (Rapeseed Oil)
Vegetable Oil
Soybean Oil
Sunflower Oil
Corn Oil
Safflower Oil
Palm Oil
Peanut Oil
Rice Bran Oil
Grapeseed Oil
And Palm ain't so good for you either!
Oh yea! I have palm oil there
I don't see why.
Please enlighten as to why it's so nasty.
Appreciate you sharing this, but the real issue with palm oil isn’t just what’s in the chart. It’s what happens before it ever hits the shelf.
Palm oil goes through intense processing. It gets bleached to remove color, deodorized to mask its smell, and heated to high temperatures that make it go rancid. By the time it’s bottled, it’s already oxidized and stripped of any natural value.
These damaged fats don’t just sit quietly in your body. They create toxic byproducts that drive inflammation, disrupt hormones, and damage cells on a mitochondrial level.
Yes most palm oil is treated at high temperatures to remove the smell & colour.
This process would damage unsaturated fats.
Palm oil is naturally high in stable saturated fats which don't oxidise easily. The oil doesn't go rancid like canola oil does at high temperatures.
Palm fruit oil can be extracted with very rudimentary machines (basically a press). Small villages in the tropics do this themselves because it's so cheap. You can't do that with something like canola.
I've been avoiding PUFA for about 6 years now but I have older teenagers. They like pastries, chips & fried garbage. They have their own income & buy this crap themselves.
I try to steer them towards the cheaper brands which tend to use palm oil. I see palm oil as far less toxic than the canola & sunflower oils used in the named brands.
I have a deep fryer full of tallow because I didn't want to make fried foods a "forbidden fruit".
damn.
how do y'all cook your food?
Butter, ghee, tallow, cold pressed coconut oil and high quality unadulterated extra virgin olive oil
thanks, I'll be looking into this and stacking it to improve the quality of life for me and my family 💪
Where does avocado oil fall into this list?
Avocado oil is pretty good too and has a high smoke point. Its possibly high in omega 6 though and it's hard to find pure avocado oil as most of it is tainted with seed oils.
The seed oil thing is mostly about the process used to create it. Seed oils are mostly processed using high heat and pressure, it's basically motor oil. Avocado oil is almost always cold pressed, so it's pretty safe.
That's the rule of thumb. If a vegetable oil is cold pressed it's probably OK, of course you want to know the fatty acid content profile of the type of seed used and figure out if it's something that works with your diet. Also consider fat soluble vitamins, all sorts of different plants have different nutrition profiles, and there are vitamins that you can only get from animals and others that are more prevalent from different sources.
Ditch the seed oils, embrace the ghee 🫡
NO OIL works best no NEED list
