Are seed oils the worst culprit in our processed food addiction?

[Anonymous]

I keep hearing more and more about how horrible seed oils really are. Yet school lunches are loaded up on them, as is just about ALL ready to eat food (except FRESH unprocessed foods).

Researchers are finding that these oils are driving the diabetes and obesity epidemic, not to mention the inflammation problems.

Basically most of the “vegetable oils”.

So if you can't eat seed oils, what would you use for cooking?

[Anonymous]

IMO, no. The worst are sugar, sugar equivalents and fake sugars. These are second.

Use Plant oils like avocado oil or olive oil or coconut oil
It’s widely known that canola oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil are bad for you.

I use extra virgin olive oil for almost everything. I also use unprocessed leaf lard, butter, duck fat, and ghee occasionally.

"New UC Riverside research shows soybean oil not only leads to obesity and diabetes, but could also affect neurological conditions like autism, Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, and depression."

"Canola oil is one of the most widely consumed vegetable oils, yet little is known about its health effects. Now, a study links canola oil consumption in the diet with worsened memory, worsened learning ability and weight gain in mice which model Alzheimer's disease. It's the first study to suggest that canola oil is more harmful than healthful for the brain."

"Some 'healthy' vegetable oils may actually increase risk of heart disease"

Where does olive oil fall (as it's the predominant oil I use in cooking)

[Anonymous]

I stick to more traditional oils, olive mostly. I don't trust canola oil or anything else that is highly genetically engineered.

What about peanut oil?
