The Toxicity of Commercial Vegetable Oils (aka Seed Oils)



What They Are

  • Heavily refined oils extracted from seeds like canola, soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower, cottonseed.

  • Not actual “vegetables.” These are industrial by products, originally invented for machine lubrication—not food.

Why They’re Toxic

1. Oxidized PUFAs (Polyunsaturated Fats)

  • These oils are fragile—they oxidize easily during processing, transport, and cooking.

  • Oxidation = rancid fats = lipid peroxides = DNA damage, mitochondrial stress.

2. High Omega-6 / Omega-3 Ratio

  • Floods the body with inflammatory signals.

  • Disrupts cell membranes and neural function.

    Think brain fog, depression, skin issues.

3. Solvent Residues (e.g. Hexane)

  • Most commercial oils use chemical solvents to extract more yield.

  • Tiny amounts remain. But they accumulate, especially in fatty tissue and organs.

4. Trans Fats

  • Even when “0g trans fat” is listed, trace amounts exist post-refining.

  • These misfold proteins, interfere with insulin signaling, and age your skin like microwave bacon.

5. Disrupts Hormones

  • PUFAs = unstable in the body → oxidized cholesterol, estrogen dominance, metabolic slowdown.

  • Especially devastating to thyroid and testosterone.


⚔️ Organ Deity Breakdown

  • Liver: Overwhelmed by daily peroxides, has to manufacture bile to clear trash fats.

  • Spleen: Hates the immune confusion and constant inflammation triggers.

  • Lungs: Can’t “get it right” when cells are shouting conflicting oxidative signals.

  • Kidneys: Crying for luscious animal fat or structured saturated fats to ground them.

  • Heart: Withers without real fat-based energy and cholesterol to make hormones.


💡 Ultimate Reality Check

These oils are in:“Every salad dressing. Every restaurant meal. Every ‘vegan-friendly’ chip, bar, dip, and wrap. Even ‘organic’ ones.”

If you’re not actively avoiding them—you’re slow-marinating in a molecular betrayal.
