The American Heart Association has it all wrong.
That’s pretty obvious since heart disease is the STILL the #1 killer in America.
I wonder why???
Could it partly be due to ridiculous recommendations on what fats we should eat to burn fat and be healthy? After all, they seem to have been copied from an outdated 1980s nutrition textbook:
“Choose vegetable oils and margarines with liquid vegetable oil as the first listed ingredient. Examples are canola, corn, peanut, safflower, sesame, soybean and sunflower oils.”
But in reality, these vegetable oils have been proven to CLOG your arteries!

Refined vegetable oils – from canola, corn, peanut, soybean, etc. – are the WORST kind of fats you can eat.
Why? Because plants contain very fragile polyunsaturated fats that are sensitive to heat, oxygen and even light.
(That’s why very expensive gourmet oils are always kept in dark bottles.)
But food manufacturers don’t care about damaging your healthy fats. They extract plant oils using the industrial solvent hexane — at very high temperatures.
Once the oil has been extracted, it’s a smelly grey mess.
But they filter, degum and deodorize that goo until it looks good and smells neutral, and then sell it to you.
Terrible, I know… And the worst is – the latest research shows that these refined oils might be even MORE dangerous than the trans fats they are replacing in restaurants, processed foods and probably in your own pantry…
FACT: Vegetable oils contain a ton of omega-6, which are very inflammatory to your body. Excess inflammation increase your risks of heart attacks and virtually every disease.
FACT: Even though they brag about containing 0 trans fats, vegetable oils are often LOADED with trans fats.
In one study that looked at soybean and canola oils found on store shelves in the U.S., about 0.56% to 4.2% of the fatty acids in them were toxic trans fats.
FACT: Vegetable oils contain trace amounts of hexane, the very toxic solvent that’s used during processing.
And even though many regulatory agencies claim hexane levels in food are safe, test results obtained by The Cornucopia Institute indicate that your oil may contain hexane levels 10X higher than what is considered safe by the FDA.
==========================
There it is… the plain, harsh truth about vegetable oil – and why it’s just as terrible as white sugar, smoking cigarettes or even trans fat.
Unfortunately, this is just the tip of the Iceberg.
