In alphabetical order, these are the seed oils that you want to avoid:
Canola oil, Corn oil, Cottonseed oil, Grapeseed oil, Rice bran oil, Safflower
oil, Soy oil, and Sunflower oil. And as you read that list, you might say
to yourself, "Wait a minute, isn't Sunflower oil good for you? I
mean it's made from the sun, which is good, right?" Or what about
Rice bran oil? We've heard so many good things about rice bran,
right? Sort of. There may be biological benefits derived from some
of these seeds in a different form, but in the form of oil due to its
processing, it renders them problematic in the biological processes of your
body.
Dr. Catherine Shanahan, otherwise known, as Dr. Cate, writing for Better Nutrition, explains,
Although they’re usually refined, even unrefined and cold-pressed versions of these oils pose the same health risks, because the oils are naturally rich in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs). The molecular structure of PUFAs makes them very unstable in the human body, where they generate tremendous amount of free radicals--chaotic reactions that damage cells.
Free radicals are a normal byproduct of metabolism that our bodies are equipped to handle, but only up to a point. Seed oils produce an onslaught that far exceeds our innate capacity. “Free radicals are bad for us in the same way that radiation is bad for us,” says Dr. Cate. When you eat a lot of PUFA-rich seed oils, she adds, “it’s like you have dirty bombs inside your cells.”
PUFAs are inflammatory and damage the lining of blood vessels, affecting overall circulation and blood flow to the brain, and increasing the risk for heart disease and diabetes.
