The truth about seed oils
Throughout my life, I have struggled with acne and various skin and health problems.
The main cause: seed oils.
Here's why seed oils are horrible for your health:
(Backed By Science)
1. Fatty Acid Instability
There are three kinds of fatty acids:
1. Polyunsaturated
2. Monounsaturated
3. Saturated
Polyunsaturated acids are naturally occurring.
Canola oil has a high polyunsaturated & monounsaturated fatty acid content (the form of polyunsaturated fatty acid is linoleic acid).


This is different from butter, which is almost all saturated fat.
But what makes them of interest is that because of the multiple double bonds, they’re highly unstable.
This is why butter is solid at room temperature and canola oil is not.
Cooking your food in vegetable oils blasts it with free radicals (electrons that play a role in every known disease), which can destroy every cell in your body.
2. Toxic Byproducts
When broken down and oxidized, polyunsaturated fatty acids produce toxic by-products.
One type of polyunsaturated acid in particular, omega 6’s, produces the worst toxins.
The three best-studied toxins are acrolein, HNE, and MDA.
Acrolein is the toxin found in cigarette smoke that causes lung damage. It is a biocide, meaning it kills all life.
HNE and MDA are both cytotoxic and mutagenic — they kill cells and alter DNA.
3. Omega 3 : Omega 6 Ratio
You may have heard of omega 3s and omega 6s. These are polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Omega 3s have their first double bond on the 3rd carbon and omega 6s have their first double bond on the 6th.
They are both polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Vegetable oils, like canola oil, are predominantly omega-6 fatty acids, such as linoleic acid.
Omega 3s and omega 6s are critical structural components. They have conflicting physiological effects, so the ratio between the two in the diet is important.
As you replace omega 3s with omega 6s in your diet, your body rapidly converts your structural components into whichever you consume.
This shows up directly in human fatty tissue. As a result, from 1960 to 1986, the linoleic acid content in human fat tripled from 6% to 18%.

If your body were a house, we’d be constructed with radioactive nuclear waste instead of sturdy concrete under this new paradigm.
Additionally, a diet high in the omega 6: omega 3 ratio shifts your body into a proinflammatory state.
Seed oils cause all of the following:
Alzheimer’s
Cancer
Insulin resistance
Acne
Heart disease
Autism
Dementia
Autoimmune disorders
Leaky gut
Instead of using these toxins for cooking your food, use extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil or butter.
Remember: Your health is the most important aspect of your life. Prioritize your health by choosing cooking oils that nurture your body, not harm it.
That’s all for today.
