The Golden Oil Making You Sick & Fat

April 6, 2015   |   Leave a comment   |   0

Refined vegetable oils – from canola, corn, peanut, soybean, etc. – are the WORST kind of fats you can eat.

Why?

Because plants contain very fragile polyunsaturated fats that are sensitive to heat, oxygen and even light.

(That’s why very expensive gourmet oils are always kept in dark bottles.)

But food manufacturers don’t care about damaging your healthy fats. They extract plant oils using the industrial solvent hexane — at very high temperatures.

Once the oil has been extracted, it’s a smelly grey mess.

But they filter, de-gum and deodorize that goo until it looks good and smells neutral, and then sell it to you.

Terrible, I know…

And the worst is – the latest research shows that these refined oils might be even MORE dangerous than the trans fats they are replacing in restaurants, processed foods and probably in your own pantry…

FACT:

Vegetable oils contain a ton of omega-6, which are very inflammatory to your body. Excess inflammation increases your risk of heart attacks and virtually every disease.

FACT:

Even though they brag about containing 0 trans fats, vegetable oils are often LOADED with trans fats.

In one study that looked at soybean and canola oils found on store shelves in the U.S., about 0.56% to 4.2% of the fatty acids in them were toxic trans fats.

FACT:

Vegetable oils contain trace amounts of hexane, the very toxic solvent that’s used during processing.

And, even though many regulatory agencies claim hexane levels in food are safe, test results obtained by The Cornucopia Institute indicate that your oil may contain hexane levels 10X higher than what is considered safe by the FDA.

There it is…

The plain, harsh truth about vegetable oil can be just as terrible as white sugar, smoking cigarettes or even trans fat.

Unfortunately, this is just the tip of the Iceberg.
