Seed oils are way more harmful than you may think
Seed oils are way more harmful than you may think
• Processed seed oils were first manufactured in the 20th century as a farming waste product.
Somehow they’ve been “normalized” for use in food.
• Seed oil production uses petroleum-based solvents and chemicals for deodorization and
processing.
• They contain high concentrations of omega-6 fatty acids, which promote chronic inflammation and
are linked to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.¹
• Seed oils oxidize (think rust) during cooking, producing harmful compounds that cause damage to
DNA, proteins, and cells.²
• Most seed oils are made from genetically modified (GMO) crops and contain pesticide residues.
• While the body does need small amounts of omega-6 fatty acids, did you realize that 25 to 30
percent of your calories come from these fats on an ultra-processed diet? Ultra-processed foods
(UPFs) contain the worst quality omega-6 fats, which do not promote health.
Common ultra-processed foods with seed oils
Seed oils are a common ingredient in UPFs as they are cheap and extend the shelf life of food products.
Here are common UPFs packed with harmful seed oils:
• Cookies
• Chips
• Salad dressings
• Margarines and spreads
• Condiments
• Ready-made dips
• Cereal
• Baked goods
• Fried foods
• Frozen french fries, onion rings, tater tots
• Candies and chocolates
• Ice cream
These oils are even found in foods marketed as healthy, such as protein bars, hummus, granola, and nut butter.
How to spot seed oils
