Health Dangers of Vegetable Oil<\/h3>\n

This story is wild. If you are interested in esoteric health, you have probably seen the awakening around vegetable oils<\/a>, more appropriately labeled “seed oils.”<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Vegetable oils<\/b>, or\u00a0vegetable fats<\/b>, are\u00a0oils<\/a> extracted from seeds or other parts of\u00a0edible plants. Like\u00a0animal fats, vegetable fats are\u00a0mixtures<\/i>\u00a0of\u00a0triglycerides<\/a>.<\/sup>\u00a0Soybean oil,\u00a0grape seed oil, and\u00a0cocoa butter\u00a0are examples of\u00a0seed oils\u00a0or fats from seeds.\u00a0Olive oil<\/a>,\u00a0palm oil<\/a>, and\u00a0rice bran oil are examples of fats from other parts of plants. In common usage, vegetable oil may refer exclusively to vegetable fats or liquid at room temperature. Vegetable oils are usually edible. <\/p>\n

Palm oil formed the basis of soap products, such as Lever Brothers’ (now\u00a0Unilever) “Sunlight” and B. J. Johnson Company’s (now Colgate-Palmolive) “Palmolive,\u00a0and by around 1870, palm oil constituted the primary export of some West African countries.<\/sup><\/p>\n

In 1780,\u00a0Carl Wilhelm Scheele<\/a> demonstrated that fats were derived from glycerol. Thirty years later, Michel Eug\u00e8ne Chevreul deduced that these fats were esters of fatty acids and glycerol. A German chemist, Wilhelm Normann introduced the hydrogenation of liquid fats in 1901, creating what later became known as trans fats. This led to the development of the global production of margarine and vegetable shortening<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the United States,\u00a0cottonseed oil<\/a> was developed and marketed by\u00a0Procter & Gamble<\/a>\u00a0as a creamed shortening \u2013\u00a0Crisco<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 as early as 1911.<\/sup>\u00a0Ginning mills\u00a0were happy to have someone haul away the cotton seeds. The extracted oil was refined and partially\u00a0hydrogenated to give a solid at room temperature and thus mimicked natural lard and canned under nitrogen gas. Compared to the rendered lard Procter & Gamble was already selling to consumers, Crisco was cheaper, easier to stir into a recipe, and could be stored at room temperature for two years without turning rancid.<\/p>\n

Soybeans are protein-rich, and the medium viscosity oil they rendered was high in polyunsaturated. Henry Ford<\/a> established a soybean research laboratory, developed soybean plastics and soy-based synthetic wool, and built a car “almost entirely” out of soybeans.<\/sup>\u00a0Roger Drackett had a successful new product with\u00a0Windex<\/a>, but he invested heavily in soybean research, seeing it as a smart investment.<\/sup>\u00a0By the 1950s and 1960s, soybean oil had become the most popular vegetable oil in the US; today it is second only to\u00a0palm oil. In 2018\u20132019, world production was at 57.4 MT, with the leading producers including China (16.6 MT), the US (10.9 MT), Argentina (8.4 MT), Brazil (8.2 MT), and the EU (3.2 MT).<\/p>\n

Numerous studies have examined the health effects of vegetable oil consumption. A 2015 systematic review found that virgin olive oil significantly reduced cardiovascular disease. In general, fried food was not associated with higher cardiovascular disease, but it was associated with obesity.<\/sup><\/p>\n

Seed oils have completely pervaded Western nutrition and are largely responsible for the metabolic health crisis we are currently in.<\/p>\n

Chances are, if you are eating dressings, marinades, sauces, mayonnaise, cookies, or anything fried, you are consuming seed oils.<\/p>\n

We are metabolically failing as a country.<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 70% of American adults are overweight or obese.<\/li>\n
  • 7 out of 10 deaths are caused by chronic disease<\/li>\n
  • 1 in 3 Americans are diabetic or Pre-Diabetic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It is safe to say that what we are doing is NOT working.<\/p>\n

    All we are told is that saturated fats are bad. However, when you look at the data, that rhetoric is flat-out wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n
