The American diet during the 20th century experienced a meteoric rise in soybean oil consumption - more than 1.000-fold increase per capita. 😲
1/2 These oils are high in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) like linoleic acid:
Grape Seed 71%
Sunflower 68%
Corn 56%
Soybean 55%
Cottonseed 53%
These fragile PUFAs get oxidized into toxic byproducts during extraction and high-heat cooking. ☠️
This constant oxidative stress promotes heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and neurodegeneration.
Our ancestors didn't evolve eating PUFAs in such large amounts.
The key is balancing intake of unstable PUFAs like omega-6s with anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats
