RE: Can We Eat Seed Oils? My Food Journey Diary

in Foodies Bee Hive4 months ago

This is the first time I have heard that seed oil is problematic. The basic oil in my house is olive oil, and the kind we have at home is only from the fruit, not the seeds.
But what about sunflower oil, which is made from seeds? I have not seen anything that is controversial anywhere.
Or rapeseed oil? I have read that in the past, it was harmful because it contained erucic acid, which has been shown in animal studies to harm heart health. But now they are filtering it out.
Otherwise, I'm an omnivore :)

That sounds pretty good if you are using olive oil mostly. As this is pressed and not from seed.

I think seed oils is coming up alot recently due to the high consumption and that people are linking it to negative outcomes, even when it it is filtered for toxicity.

It is believed that it is highly inflammatory and was used as a lubricant in cars before. It also slows your metabolism causing weight gain. I do not know if the claims are true or not and I have just been trying to exclude it for a month so far, but the seed oils seem to be everywhere in processed foods which sort of then makes sense.
