Why are seed oils bad?Updated a year ago
The short answer: we feel and look better when we avoid them.
Don't believe us? Just give them up and see for yourself.
As for the long answer, well—seed oils are an inherently processed food. They did not exist more than 150 years ago, before the invention of the industrial equipment and chemicals needed to process them. In 1900, they were 0% of our calories. Today, they represent over 20% of all calories.
This is a problem because seed oils are highly inflammatory.
They contain a high concentration of poly-unsaturated fats (PUFAs), which are chemically unstable and oxidize very easily. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that produces free radicals, which are inflammatory molecules that tear apart your cells (often called "oxidative stress"). Leading nutritionists have identified chronic inflammation as a main driver of all the diseases no one wants, like diabetes, cancer, Alzheimers, PCOS, IBS, and more.
While those diseases develop over many years, in the short term seed oils can also cause bloating, bad skin, cellulite, fatigue, estrogen dominance, and blood sugar spikes. Simply put, they are stressful on every part of your body, and chronic stress kills.
