Canola, soybean, sunflower, these are some of the most commonly used oils in cooking and processed foods. But when consumed in excess, especially without enough omega-3s to balance them, they can fuel inflammation, hormone imbalance, and even stubborn weight gain.
Why Seed Oils Are a Problem:
High in Omega-6s: Can promote chronic inflammation
Heavily Processed: Chemically extracted and deodorized
Unstable at High Heat: Prone to oxidation, creating harmful compounds
Linked to Weight Gain: Inflammation messes with insulin and metabolism
In Everything: Especially store-bought snacks, sauces, and dressings
Better Alternatives:
Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Ideal for dressings, drizzling, and low to medium-temperature cooking.
Avocado Oil – Neutral taste, heat-stable, and nutrient-dense
Ghee or Grass-Fed Butter – Ideal for high-heat cooking and rich in fat-soluble vitamins
Coconut Oil – Solid at room temperature, great for baking or tropical recipes
