The Dangers of Consuming Bad Seed Oils

Consuming seed oils high in linoleic acid, such as corn oil and grape seed oil, can have harmful effects on our health. These oils, when consumed in excess, can lead to the production of aldehydes, compounds that stiffen blood vessels and cell membranes, akin to formaldehyde that is used in embalming fluid. Dr. Gundry advises against using grape seed oil and warns about the risks associated with peanut oil due to its lectin content, which has been linked to the development of atherosclerosis in studies with monkey species. Safflower oil and soy oil also pose health risks due to their high omega-6 fatty acid content, often exacerbated by glyphosate sprayings, while oils like sesame oil, perilla oil, and non-GMO canola oil are recommended alternatives.
