THIS! "Vegetable oils", meaning for the most part seed oils, are wrecking our cardiovascular systems and causing accelerated aging -- and they're in EVERYTHING.
Start reading labels obsessively. Check out the Organic Salad Oils in the Healthy section of your local grocery store: most will have canola oil, probably the very WORST of the oils, as the first or second ingredient. It doesn't matter if canola (rapeseed) is organic or cold-pressed or blessed by the Pope, it's NOT something you want in your body.
Dr. Mark Hayman makes the same point about dietary fats in What The Heck Should I Eat. This book helped persuade me to avoid nearly all seed oils (usually called vegetable oils or cooking oils), ESPECIALLY Soybean and Canola oil.
Dr. Hayman's list of oils to eat and oils to avoid (from pp. 169 - 170):
Good oils
Organic avocado oil
Butter from pastured, grass-fed cows or goats
Grass-fed ghee (clarified butter)
Organic virgin coconut oil
Organic, humanely raised tallow (beef fat)
Organic, humanely raised lard (pork fat)
Organic, humanely raised duck fat
Organic, humanely raised chicken fat
Use the next group raw, on salads or other foods, but don't cook them:
Organic extra virgin olive oil
Walnut oil
Almond oil
Macadamia oil
Sesame seed oil
Tahini (sesame seed paste)
Flax oil
Hemp oil
Avoid the following:
Soybean oil
Canola oil
Corn oil
Safflower oil
Sunflower oil
Palm oil
Peanut oil
Vegetable oil
Vegetable shortening
Margarine and all other butter substitutes, including the newest ones, which actually include butter among the ingredients
Anything that says "hydrogenates"; it's poison
Anything else that looks fake.
Note: many good oils are adulterated with cheaper oils; I've read (I forget where) that Italian crime groups make drug-lord-level money from selling "Organic, extra virgin olive oil" cut with other, cheaper oils.
We've been buying California Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Life Extension for some time, mostly because I've been shopping with LEF for decades and trust the ingredients in what they sell. No, not the cheapest olive oil you can find. I have no connection with LEF other than as a customer.
Hemp oil can be made to use in bio-diesel,it has been done for years. Also, it is good for you, we need to get rid of soy as a filler.
It's the money for the most part. Along with political and other pressures.
