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.
