Seed Oils Are The Worst For You

Vegetable oil not from seeds

Corn oil

corn oil is a seed

I think the only vegetable oils that are not seed oil are olive and avocado?

OP how about a list

Canola oil is the best oil for u and it is made from seeds

I heard that Canola oil was the worst.

Calm down Mary

Unless you are eating fried food several times a week you will be fine regardless of what type of oil you are using.

Thought given that this is DL, that may well be within the realm of possibility

That means every single Datalounger is in danger.

What about grapeseed oil? I've seen some cooks/chefs on TV shows use it recipes. I try to stick to avocado and olive oil when I cook. I do use sesame seed oil in the occasional stir-fry dish. I like the flavor it adds.

Hyperbolic, no sourcing, no explanation, no thanks, OP.

Seed oils are absolutely bad for you. Seed oils are proven to be some of the leading causes of heart disease, cancer, and other life-degrading conditions.

Some of the most common seed oils that you may be readily consuming on a daily basis include soybean, corn, canola, cottonseed, rapeseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, and rice bran.

“I strictly use olive oil to cook my food” you may say.

While you may not be using seed oils directly in your cooking, many of them are in fact present in the processed foods and packaged goods that you are so quick to dismiss as a healthy option. ‘Healthy’ food items like granola bars, certain bread, dried fruits, and baked chips more often than not include seed oils in their ingredients.

Imbalanced Omega-6 to Omega-3 Fatty Acid Ratio.

When exposed to heat, light, and chemical inputs, as is typical in restaurants and food processing plants, seed oils become toxic to the human body.

As if they weren’t harmful enough on their own, seed oils are frequently used and reused because it is cost-efficient. This is especially the case in restaurants and homes that use deep fryers.

Seed oils actually don’t have to be ultra-processed or hydrogenated to be bad for your health. The excessive consumption of PUFA from seed oils, even if produced via a very simple extraction method and not hydrogenated, can be very damaging to the body.

Believe it or not, seed oils were only recently introduced into the human diet. Prior to this, some of the most common sources of natural fats were: olive oil, coconut oil, butter and ghee (cows), lard (pigs), and suet (beef or mutton).

In the 1930s, Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), which was virtually unknown 30 years earlier, became the leading cause of death in the United States.

Fast forward to 2010, 32% of deaths (~ 1 in 3 in the U.S.) are due to CHD. With this in mind, consider that the total vegetable oil consumption in the U.S. has increased from zero to 80g/day since 1900. In fact, a whopping 86% of added fats are coming from seed oils.

Before the spike in the increase of seed oil consumption, 99% of added fats were coming from animal fats, begging the question, are they actually to blame?

Saturated fats are those most commonly found in animal meats and fats, such as butter from cows and lard from pigs. Saturated fats are also found in tropical oils like coconut and palm oil.

The consumption of saturated fats gets a bad rap by organizations like the AHA, who allege that they increase factors leading to heart disease.

However, while the consumption of saturated fats has remained relatively stable over the past century or so (and actually took a dip in the 1900s), the consumption of seed oils has increased drastically, along with the rise in heart disease.

Additionally, a recent 2014 study found no benefit to overall health from reducing saturated fats or increasing PUFAs from seed oils. The evidence does not support current dietary guidelines urging consumers to replace saturated fats with seed oils. In fact, as we have discussed, growing research shows that seed oils are detrimental to our health.

Bullshit.

Sesame seed oil is used in Japanese, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cooking. It is very healthy.

Hilarious hearing Americans lecturing the Japanese, one if the populations with the longest lives, about healthy eating.

Eat da poo-poo OP

The "never eat this or that" bitches are so tiresome.

Japanese and Korean people eat a lot of fried foods and use a variety of frying oils, the most popular being canola oil or a "salad oil" blend.

My doctor has recently gotten on the anti seed oil bandwagon. It all has to do the ratio of the different omega fatty acids. He says I should be using olive, coconut, and avocado oils, grass-fed ghee and animal fats.

The seed oils are almost impossible To avoid if your buying commercial Mayo or salad dressing so I’ve gone back to making my own.
