Tuesday Challenge: Seed Oils HAVE TO GO! Seed oils like canola, soybean, and sunflower oil have become a hidden ingredient in countless foods, but their impact on our health is finally coming to light. These oils are highly processed, often oxidized, and linked to inflammation—a root cause of many chronic health issues. The good news? You can take control of your health by learning to spot and replace these harmful oils in your pantry. Why Seed Oils Are Harmful: Inflammatory Properties: Seed oils are high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can contribute to chronic inflammation when consumed in excess. Highly Processed: These oils undergo chemical processing, often with the use of solvents, which can leave behind harmful residues. Hexane: A petroleum-based solvent often used to extract oils from seeds. Traces of hexane can remain in the final product, posing potential health risks with long-term exposure. Bleaching Agents: Used to remove color and impurities, these chemicals can degrade the oil's nutritional value. Chemicals like dimethylpolysiloxane (an anti-foaming agent) Oxidation Risk: Seed oils are prone to oxidation, creating harmful free radicals that can damage cells in the body.
