Let us talk about something a little less emotionally serious. It is still very serious to me. I am referring to seed oils. These include canola, which comes from RAPE SEED. They also include soy and sunflower. My boyfriend and I decided that sunflower is the least unhealthy one so I can eat it a little. Corn is the worst. The stuff that is in everything from chips to salad dressing.
This is something that I have been wanting to write about for a while now. But it is difficult to get any studies or information on. Mainstream doctors, and even the based AI: Grok, say they are fine. They even claim they are heart-friendly. But dig deeper, and the bad side creeps out. First: seed oils are loaded with omega-six fats. Your body needs some, but the Western diet slams you with twenty-to-one ratios against omega-threes. That imbalance leads to chronic inflammation—think joint pain, gut issues, even cancer.
A recent twenty-twenty-six study on colon tumors had significant findings. Ultra-processed junk filled with these oils creates pro-inflammatory sludge around cells. This process basically turns your gut into a war zone. Tumors never heal no matter what measure you take. Then you have oxidation.
Fry fries all day? (A food that I love). They spit out toxins like aldehydes—a chemical linked to DNA damage, heart disease, even Alzheimer’s. Real-world fast-food chains reuse vats of toxic oil nonstop.
Processing is another red flag: chemicals, bleaching, deodorizing. Residues might be low, but why risk it when butter or olive oil skip the factory drama? And of course oils are cheap (have you noticed how the country loves to use cheap ingredients to poison us?!) they are everywhere in junk food. Obesity, diabetes, metabolic messes all coincide with the seed-oil boom since the seventies. It all started after we had leftover corn oil from the world war. People used it to lubricate the engines of the tanks.
When using whole fats (coconut, avocado or just butter or ghee), people report clearer skin and better energy. States are pushing for criminalizing seed oils —Louisiana and Texas label laws, school bans, etc . We need to begin with the younger generations in order to fight against this madness.
RFK Jr. types (like me!) call seed oils poison. They should be outlawed because they quietly wreck everyone’s health while Big Food profits. Big Food does not care. Food companies are forming partnerships with chemical companies. This is done to profit off the consequences that result from our food (see Bayer purchasing Monsanto). Thus you should go avocado, coconut, ghee. Cooking at home is also beneficial since you know what you are actually eating. Balance your fats. Your body will thank you and you will not be subservient to the fast food industry.
