Why are seed oils bad?

The Hateful 8 seed oils as as identified by leading researcher Dr. Cate Shanahan are:

• Corn oil
• Canola oil
• Cottonseed oil
• Soy or soybean oil
• Sunflower oil
• Safflower oil
• Grapeseed oil
• Ricebran oil

These oils are in most packaged food products and are unhealthy because they contain large amounts of unstable fatty acids that can break down into toxins during cooking and inside our bodies. These oils should not be heated. But they are heated during factory refining and many toxins form. These oils also sneak into our food-like products in the form of lecithin. Once you start reading labels you will be astounded. Please read about this at drcate.com but in the meantime I will give you some more information from her website. 

Why do Harvard and Health Authorities like the American Heart Association Say Seed Oils Are Safe?

Two main reasons.

One, the money. The AHA was a small underfunded professional society until 1948 when Procter & Gamble, makers of Crisco, donated $1.7 million. Ever since then, the AHA has promoted polyunsaturated fat as healthy.

Two, they claim to have science backing them up. They do not. All of their studies are flawed in one way or another. I discuss an in-depth example in the video linked to above also. It takes a lot of training and detective work to recognize these flaws, and most doctors are way too busy for all of that. So most doctors are going to go along with Harvard and the other health authorities’ recommendations. This is truly tragic.
