Understanding Fats: Nature's Design vs. Human Needs
Seed oils, originating from plants in temperate climates, are designed for cold environments where they function as antifreeze to help seeds germinate. Unlike warm-blooded humans, who maintain a body temperature of 98.6 degrees, these oils are not necessary for our metabolism. Saturated fats, with their stable molecular structure, resist chemical reactions within the body, while polyunsaturated fats found in seed oils are prone to oxidation due to their chemically unstable nature. This oxidation occurs readily in the human body, potentially leading to harmful effects, highlighting the fundamental incompatibility between the consumption of seed oils and human health.
