Deep dives

The Impact of Vegetable Oils on Health

Vegetable oils are often viewed as healthier options, but their long-term consumption could be detrimental to health. Unlike sugars that the body can burn off, the lipids from fried foods, like corn dogs cooked in vegetable oil, can become incorporated into cell membranes for extended periods, leading to inflammation. This accumulation suggests that frequent consumption of these oils can create persistent health issues rather than being easily metabolized. The host emphasizes that the consequences of ingesting these oils can last in the body for months or even years.
