Impact of Seed Oil Consumption on Health

Seed oil consumption, rich in linoleic acid, is prevalent in processed foods and can lead to various health issues. The linoleic acid in seed oils gets stored in fat cells, prone to oxidation, and can contribute to joint pain, low back pain, anxiety, depression, and overall mental health concerns. The linoleic acid content has significantly increased in fat tissues over the past 50 years, reflecting dietary intake shifts towards processed foods containing soy, cottonseed, canola, and sunflower oils. This continuous consumption may lead to long-term adverse effects on health, including inflammation and increased susceptibility to pain.
