Harmful effects of Refined oils

 

IF YOU WANT CANCER.. GO FOR REFINED OILS

 

Are Vegetable and Seed Oils Bad for You? A Critical Look

Oil that has been refined has been altered by using chemicals that are harmful to us.  In short it means to ‘purify’.

But the meaning of purify has many definitions.  It may mean the oil was treated with acid, or purified with an alkali, or bleached.  It can also be neutralized, filtered or deodorized.  All of which require chemicals like Hexane.

In the process of making and refining these types of oils, it leads to PUFas (rancid polyunsaturated fatty acids) which DO NOT hold up well to high heats.  In the process of being extracted from the seed these oils oxidize and turn into trans fats.  The smell is so rancid that a cleaning process has to take place using bleach to deodorize it.

As dangerous as refined oils can be to our health, even more dangerous is the repeated use of Hydrogenated oils (Crisco and margarine).  These are some of the most dangerous products on the market today!  They have been BANNED in 2 European countries, but are still deemed safe in the United States.

Hydrogenated oil is made by forcing hydrogen gas into oil at high pressure.  The more solid the oil is the more hydrogenated the end product, such as margarine and Crisco or lard.

When hydrogenated oils are made the healthy fats are converted into a new type of fat, known as trans fat.  This is one subject that has overwhelming support from Doctors, scholars, and scientists alike.

 

Try to avoid any refined oils – period.  They are cheap.  They are processed and they are downright dangerous to your health.
