age is really just a number

Chronic inflammation can be caused by hidden toxins in your daily diet.

Let’s talk about vegetable oils.

Vegetable oils like canola oils are killing us and they’re hidden in almost everything. Even when you buy “Avocado oil”, it often has more canola oil than avocado!

What are vegetable oils? First off, they’re not vegetables at all. A more fitting name would be industrial processed seed oil sludge. 

In the early 1900s, a genius at Procter and Gamble came up with the idea to use cotton seeds – a toxic waste product – and turn them into cooking oil. Cotton seeds were first used to make candles and soap, but the scientists at P&G later discovered that they could hydrogenate these seeds and turn them into a solid that resembled animal fats. Behold the birth of Crisco!

This means that vegetable oils are actually made from seeds, not vegetables. Examples include corn, soybean, sunflower, and canola. These are directly linked to almost every chronic disease. 

The crazy part they’re still labeled as heart healthy by the AHA because they can help lower cholesterol. This is despite the numerous studies showing replacing saturated fats with seed oils increases death rate.  Vegetable oil consumption has increased over 1000 times since the 1900s. They are now hidden almost everything. 

Why did they cause so much damage? Two big reasons: Toxic byproducts and increasing your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. Over the last 25 years, human fat cells have been transformed into stored unsaturated fatty acids. Linoleic acid concentration in human fat cells has increased almost 25 times.

The problem is that linoleic acid and seed oils are very unstable and tend to breakdown into toxic byproducts including Acrolein, HNE and MDA. And worst of all is that these toxic byproducts are highly reactive, leading to a cascade of toxic byproduct production when they’re in your body. 

Additionally vegetable oils disrupt your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio.  As you replace omega-3 with omega-6 in your diet, your body rapidly converts your structural components into whichever you consume. This shows up directly in human fatty tissue.

A diet high in omega-6: omega 3 ratio shifts your body to a proinflammatory state. 

And inflammation has been implicated in every chronic disease. 

Read labels carefully and cut out this toxic junk.
