Summary
Seed oils are often labeled “heart healthy,” but what's the truth? The average person consumes vegetable seed oil daily, not just as a cooking oil, but on their food. Discover the truth about seed oils and why you’ll want to eliminate them from your diet today.

Video on GRAS: ▶️ • Guess Which Percent Of Chemicals in Your Food Are Self-Certified and Not FDA Approved? Vegetable oils do not come from vegetables. Vegetable seed oils are highly processed oils that are processed with high heat and chemical solvents.
When heat is added to refined oils, toxic byproducts like trans fats are created. Seed oils are genetically modified, so they often contain traces of glyphosate. BHA is a toxic byproduct found in seed oils and is classified as a possible human carcinogen. Other toxic byproducts can affect the immune system, nervous system, and liver.
All chronic diseases involve inflammation. Vegetable oils are the most inflammatory thing that you can consume. They create damage at the cellular level and are often stored in the fat cells because they can’t be used for fuel. It takes a year and a half to detoxify seed oils from the membranes in our bodies.
Soy, corn, sunflower, canola, and cottonseed are the most common seed oils. Cottonseed oil is the worst seed oil as it produces the most toxicity and has the most omega-6 fatty acids. Cottonseed oil is highly inflammatory and is often hidden in animal feed.
Any time you have inflammation, you also have a lack of oxygen. Cancer thrives in an area that’s inflamed or doesn’t have oxygen. Inflammation from seed oils can also contribute to insulin resistance.
Do not use vegetable oils at all! Replace seed oils with the following healthy cooking oils:
•Extra virgin olive oil
•Coconut oil
•Butter
•Ghee
•Red palm oil
•Tallow
•Lard
Mayo contains seed oils, so look for one without, like Chosen Mayo, which is made with avocado oil.
It's best to avoid deep-fried foods. An air fryer can simulate fried foods, and crushed pork rinds rather than wheat products can be used as breading.

| 0:00.0 | Why is it that the average person is consuming a very specific type of oil on a regular basis, |
| 0:06.7 | not just cooking with their food, but on their food as well? This oil is not just consumed at home |
| 0:12.1 | on a daily basis, but every time you go to a restaurant, nearly every single restaurant, is putting |
| 0:18.4 | gobs of this oil on your food. When you go to the grocery store, |
| 0:22.9 | over 70% of those foods have this oil. It comes in a clear bottle. You can open it. You can |
| 0:29.9 | expose it to air. It doesn't need to be refrigerated. Unfortunately, this oil is |
| 0:34.2 | vegetable oil, which by the way is not even vegetables. Let's just call it what |
| 0:39.0 | it is. It's seed oils. Seed oils are so processed with super high heats over 400 degrees Fahrenheit. |
| 0:46.4 | They use chemical solvents to extract the oils out. If they didn't deodorize it, it would have |
| 0:52.8 | a really bad taste and a bad smell. |
| 0:55.1 | This is just basically adding more heat. And by the way, when you add heat to allow these oils, |
| 1:00.0 | you develop all sorts of toxic byproducts, like trans fats. There's actually nine other |
| 1:06.1 | compounds that are very toxic that are produced by heating these seed oils. Not to mention almost every single |
| 1:12.6 | one of these seed oils is genetically modified. There's going to be traces of an herbicide called |
| 1:18.7 | glyphosate. Just because an oil is deodorized doesn't mean you're getting rid of the rancidity |
| 1:24.7 | or the oxidation. It's more like hiding these toxicities because now |
| 1:28.6 | you can't smell or taste it. It's kind of like just clear. One of the toxic components, which is BHA, |
| 1:34.5 | is a possible human carcinogen. The other ones can affect the immune system, the nervous system, |
| 1:39.9 | and your liver. I just need help understanding why are we using this oil? Why is it considered heart |
| 1:46.0 | healthy? If you watch some of my other videos, Ross generally recognized as safe, is really something |
| 1:52.0 | that the industry itself can put that stamp of approval. They can do their own studies, |
| 1:57.6 | which are not independent. If you look at vegetable oils, you'll see this argument |
