Seed Oils Are the Missing Link to Rising Chronic Diseases
According to Saladino, it was the introduction of linoleic acid in
their diets that made the ancient Egyptians fat and sick. He also refers
to a report by Jeff Nobbs,19
which found that 6 in 10 Americans have a chronic disease, and heart
disease, asthma, cancer and diabetes have increased 700% since 1935.
During this time, Americans have been smoking and drinking less,
exercising more and eating “healthier” according to conventional
guidelines to lower saturated fat and sodium. Nobbs, too, believes
vegetable oil is the missing link that explains why Americans keep
getting sicker:
“[C]hronic disease and obesity rates continue to
rise. All the while, vegetable oil has steadily and stealthily made its
way into our pantries, restaurants, and packaged foods, now contributing
699 calories per day to our diets, or about 20% of everything we eat.
Is vegetable oil the missing link? If vegetable oil
is indeed the hidden culprit behind today's chronic disease epidemic,
it's an elegant and simple solution to explain why chronic disease and
obesity continue to rise, even as we adhere to public health advice.
I'm convinced that our wars against red meat,
saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium may be misguided. Fighting those
battles may be like focusing on the sidekicks when the true villain
pulling all the strings is still hiding in the shadows. It's time to
shine a light on that slippery villain, our possible public health enemy
number one: vegetable oil.”
No. 1 Health Tip: Prepare Your Food at Home
It is vital that you reduce your intake of industrially processed
seed oils as much as you can. This means eliminating all of the
following oils:
Soy |
Corn |
Canola |
Safflower |
Sunflower |
Peanut |
Grape seed |
Rice bran |
Olive and avocado oil should also be on the list, as they are
commonly adulterated, and even pure olive oil is loaded with linoleic
acid. To do this, you’ll need to avoid nearly all ultraprocessed foods,
fast foods and restaurant foods. This is why it is so important to
prepare as much of your food as you can in your home so you know what
you are eating and, in the case of seed oils — what you’re not....."
