There are tons of different types of cooking oil out there, each of which brings a distinct flavor and unique set of health benefits to the table.
However, not all cooking oils are created equal, and there are many types of cooking oil and benefits that you may want to consider next time you hit the grocery store.
Although vegetable oil has a healthy sounding name, it’s NOT made from vegetables.
As you might already know, vegetable oil actually comes from any combination of corn oil, soybean oil, canola oil, safflower oil, and/or cottonseed oil, ALL of which are absolutely terrible for your health.
First of all, it’s important to keep cooking oil smoke points in mind based on which type of cooking method you’re planning to use.
Cooking oils with a low smoke point can oxidize and break down under high heat, leading to the formation of harmful, disease-causing free radicals.
Therefore, when your recipe calls for frying, sautéing or roasting, it’s best to select a cooking oil with a high smoke point.
Meanwhile, healthy cooking oils with a low smoke point can be used to top off cooked dishes or amp up the flavor of dips, spreads and dressings instead.
In fact, they may be downright deadly, and I’m not exaggerating. Here’s why…
Vegetable oils usually contain deadly trans fats, even if non-hydrogenated
You already KNOW that trans fats are deadly, so I won’t go into all of the science as to why trans fats kill you and DAMAGE your cell membranes in your body…leading to all sorts of scary health problems like cancer, obesity, Alzheimer’s, heart disease , and more.
Knowing these facts, I’m sure you already know to stay away from foods that contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. You’ve heard that a million times before.
However, what you probably DON’T know is that even non-hydrogenated vegetable oils (all vegetable oils are refined) also contain some trans fats due to the extremely high heat, solvents, and pressure they are exposed to during the refining process.
And yes, this includes so-called “expeller pressed” vegetable oils as well.

Thank you …All of this high heat and high pressure processing along with the use of hexane solvents actually forces some of the polyunsaturated content of vegetable oils (yes, even so-called “healthy” canola oil) to be transformed into trans fats and something even worse that we’ll talk about in a minute called “ Mega Trans “.
Vegetable oils contain oxidized “mutated fats” that are worse than trans-fat & CAUSE heart attacks
All vegetable oils contain oxidized fats due to the refining process and chemical reactions with the polyunsaturated fat content of vegetable oils.
The fats in vegetable oils “Mega Trans”, because they are similar in chemistry to Tran’s fats, but even WORSE.
And Mega Trans from vegetable oils are found in almost ALL processed packaged foods, as well as virtually ALL restaurant fryers.
French Fries proven to immediately harm your arteries after eating them:
Free radicals formed during the refining of vegetable oils create these “mutant” fats, which damage your cell membranes & chromosomes, and create massive inflammation in your body .
The free radicals in vegetable oils also damage your arteries, which can directly lead to a heart attack. Please be aware that this isn’t just a long-term risk of eating vegetable oils daily.
There are also studies that show immediate dysfunction in your arteries, also called endothelial function.
Do you want to add a word or two…
Persons who ate French fries from a restaurant fryer displayed immediate harm to their endothelial function of their arteries, going from a normal 7% dilation before eating the French fries to almost NO dilation at all (only 1%) AFTER eating the French fries. This is one thing that can cause a heart attack.
If you think I’m exaggerating, think again..
People that just had a heart attack had consumed foods made with vegetable oils with their last meal before the heart attack…Scary right!
Think about THAT next time you order the fries with that sandwich on the menu! It really is serious.
Always ask to replace French fries that come with most meals with side veggies, fruit, or a salad instead. That may very well be the difference between dying tomorrow and enjoying many more years on this beautiful planet.
Your Comments……
Vegetable oils because massive imbalances with your Omega-6 to Omega-3 fats ratio
One of the other reasons that vegetable oils are killing you is they are mostly made up of inflammatory omega-6 fats, while having very little anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats.
The healthiest ratio from the scientific literature appears to be a ratio of 2:1 or even 1:1 for your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. However, most vegetable oils skew your ratio as high as 20:1 or even 30:1 in favor of harmful inflammatory omega-6 fats.
And worse yet, these omega-6 fats are NOT the innocent type found in nuts, they are the “mutant” damaged Mega Trans type that harm the tissues of your body.
Digestive Issues
The fats present in greasy foods may wreak havoc on your digestive system, leaving you feeling bloated, gassy and with an upset stomach. Research indicates that fats are digested and require the work of digestive enzymes and juices to break them down.
The consumption of excess fats can really slow down the process, leading to issues with regularity and discomfort.
