Deep dives
Health risks of vegetable oil
Vegetable oils, such as canola, sunflower, and soybean oil, are unhealthy choices due to their high content of Omega-6 fatty acids. These oils are inflammatory and can cause issues with oxidation. Despite having a long shelf life, these oils are unstable and can negatively impact the body by leaching into cell membranes.
The problem with processed oils
Processed oils, like canola and GMO oils, are of poor quality due to the refining process, which involves deodorization and high pressure. These oils are not suitable for consumption and may contribute to inflammation and health issues.
Healthier oil alternatives
Avocado oil and extra virgin olive oil are preferable choices compared to processed oils. They are less likely to cause inflammation, and have higher quality and health benefits. Nonetheless, it is essential to check labels for any added seed oils or preservatives.
