Linoleic Acid: The Culprit
- Not all seed oils are bad; the issue lies with excess linoleic acid.
- Linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, is essential but overconsumption can be harmful.
Aldehydes and Stiffening
- Linoleic acid converts into aldehydes, which stiffen blood vessels and cell membranes.
- These aldehydes have a similar effect to formaldehyde, an embalming fluid.
Corn Oil vs. Canola Oil
- Avoid corn oil due to its high linoleic acid content.
- Choose organic canola oil, which has a good omega-3 to omega-6 ratio.
