SEED OILS LOWER TESTOSTERONE AND CHOLESTEROL
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.
Effects Of Seed Oils
- Asthma
- Autoimmune disease
- Mental health disorders
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Heart disease
- Gut dysfunction
- Inflammation
- Infertility
- Macular degeneration
- Osteoarthritis
SEED OILS ARE EVERYWHERE.
The Seed Oil Hateful 8
- Canola Oil (Rapeseed)
- Corn Oil
- Soybean Oil
- Cottonseed Oil
- Sunflower Oil
- Safflower Oil
- Grapeseed Oil
- Rice Bran Oil
And despite being nonexistent 150 years ago, they’re everywhere at this point.

DR. ANNA TOKER: These oils can stick around for TWO YEARS in your body.
Let’s talk seed oils. They oxidize. That means they turn toxic inside your body. Your liver gets hit first (hello, fatty liver), Then your cells and nerves get the leftovers— a nice little cocktail of inflammation and long-term damage. And here’s the kicker…Let’s talk seed oils.

PAUL SALADINO: Seed oils accumulate in some membranes, and we can't get rid of it. Probably causes increased permeability of membranes, it accumulates in mitochondrial membranes

My problem with most pork is that it's fed grains, corn, and soy and that corn and soy are very high in linoleic acid and pigs and chickens can't get rid of that linoleic acid, which means the fat of pigs and the fat of chickens fed corn and soy ends up much higher in linoleic acid than the corresponding fat of a wild pig or a wild chicken. And wild chickens and wild pigs, the amount of linoleic acid is around 5% or 6%, but in domesticated chickens and pigs, you're looking at 15% or 16% linoleic acid. And excess linoleic acid is the polyunsaturated fatty acid found in seed oils that I'm very worried about for a variety of reasons.
Learn more about seed oils from Saladino through the podcasts he's done with Georgy Dinkov, Tucker Goodrich, and Jeff Nobbs. Lots of reasons why seed oils and linoleic acid in seed oils harm humans. It accumulates in some membranes, and we can't get rid of it. Probably causes increased permeability of membranes, it accumulates in mitochondrial membranes in the cardiolipin, causing problems with the electron transport chain. Leads to increased oxidation of LDL, increased oxidized LDL, and has been shown in randomized controlled studies, like the Minnesota Coronary, which is a long study with over 9,000 participants to be linked directly in that randomized controlled trial to higher rates of coronary heart disease, which makes sense when you realize that linoleic acid gets into the LDL particles and causes increased oxidation, etc.
Will never forget the first time I ate food that included Canola oil. My heart flipped inside my chest. Shocked the hell out of me.

From Health-Giving Animal Fats to Health-Destroying Seed Oils, the Old Food Switch-a-roo

Seed oils block protein digestion in the stomach, leading to malnourishment after a full meal, which you see among Americans who overeat; yet lack vital nutrients.

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.
