If you can't back up what you say when you are called on it, there is little point in saying it. Especially when you are as wrong as you are.
Are seed oils harmful?
While seed oils do contain high amounts of omega-6 fatty acids, Soni says the notion that they are inherently harmful in any quantity is false.
In fact, the World Cancer Research Fund has found no evidence that eating vegetable and seed oils in moderation increases the risk of cancer. Small amounts of these oils, which contain polyunsaturated fats, are actually essential and help the body absorb vitamins A, D, and E.
The American Heart Association recommends including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats in your diet for good heart health. These fats can help lower bad cholesterol and reduce your risk of heart disease or stroke.
“Seed oils are safe to use and can be healthier than animal fats like butter, lard, or coconut oil due to their lower saturated fat content,” Soni explains. “The imbalance of too many omega-6 fatty acids and too few omega-3 fatty acids is the bigger problem.”
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in foods such as olive oil, avocado, walnuts, and salmon. These fats play a bigger role in reducing heart disease risk, aiding brain function, and reducing inflammation than omega 6s.
