If you want to find out just why seed oils are so insidious, I have you covered. https://t.co/nAqRSgIisU

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Plenty of other plant foods have high levels of linoleic acid, like nuts and seeds. Even pork and chicken fat is 20-25% Omega 6.
Only two diet and lifestyle factors have been shown to have worse outcomes. Smoking, and morbid obesity. Consuming seed oils puts you at worse risk than physical inactivity and heavy drinking.
[Israel is] the poster child for the wonderful Mediterranean diet that was piloted by the aforementioned cholesterol crusader, Ancel Keys. Their diet is low in total fat, low in saturated fat, and high in seed oils. They also happen to be on par with the USA in obesity.
FISH OILS RANK HIGHER ON THE PEROXIDATION INDEX THAN SEED OILS. Just don’t make them the centrepiece of your diet, and stay the hell away from fish oil capsules. Those will almost certainly be rancid, and they actually rank higher on the peroxidation index than seed oils.
IT'S NOT JUST THE RANCIDITY OF SEED OILS THAT CAUSES THE DAMAGE, BUT A HOST OF OTHER TERRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS. When seed oils go rancid, the danger isn’t restricted to oxidative damage by free radicals. It also leads to the formation of lipid hydroperoxides. They are highly unstable and rapidly decompose into other dangerous compounds, such as HNE, MDA, acrolein, and carboxyethyl pyrrole.
ALEs are ADVANCED LIPID OXIDATION END PRODUCTS. . . . Unlike the free radicals, which cause chaos but lead mercifully short lives, ALEs are stable enough to roam around your tissues, exacting permanent damage against your DNA, proteins, and lipids.
SEED OILS LOWER CHOLESTEROL. The fact that seed oils lower cholesterol should also be a matter of concern. Cholesterol is essential to life, being a precursor for hormones, Vitamin D, and bile acids, as well as stabilising cell membranes. Low cholesterol itself is linked to memory loss, heart failure, depression, aggression, and muscle loss.
Seed oils lower cholesterol by providing phytosterols instead, the plant variants that the human body has no interest in using. The body actively flushes out incoming phytosterols at the expense of absorbing cholesterol, resulting in an artificial denting of your cholesterol numbers.
This means the seed oils don’t normalise cholesterol, they lower it below baseline.
And animal fats don’t cause high cholesterol, they let it return back to the baseline.

SEED OILS ARE EVERYWHERE.
The Seed Oil Hateful 8
- Canola Oil (Rapeseed)
- Corn Oil
- Soybean Oil
- Cottonseed Oil
- Sunflower Oil

And despite being nonexistent 150 years ago, they’re everywhere at this point.
