MEGATHREAD: THE REAL CAUSE OF DISEASE IS VEGETABLE OILS

Vegetable oils are killing you and they’re hidden in almost everything.

Studies have linked them to diseases like:

- Cancer
- Obesity
- Alzheimer’s
- Diabetes
- Veganism

And consumption has increased 1000x this century
WHAT ARE VEGETABLE OILS?

They’re not vegetables at all. A more fitting name would be industrial processed seed oil sludge.

An evil genius at Procter and Gamble came up with the idea to use cotton seeds — a toxic waste product — and turn them into a cooking oil.
This was the birth of crisco. Scientists then devised other techniques to extra oils from seeds like:

- Corn
- Soybean
- Sunflower
- Canola

The process to make canola oil is absolutely disgusting
If this doesn't make you stop eating canola oil, I don't know what will.

The initial step in making canola oil involves hexane which is in gasoline. There are 20 additional stages to bleach and colorize it

All these chemicals rot your insides
WHY VEGETABLE OILS ARE BAD FOR YOU REASON #1: TOXIC BYPRODUCTS

Seed oils are high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, specifically linoleic acid.

Polyunsaturated = multiple double bonds.

Omega 6 = final double bond is the 6th

Double bonds are more unstable that single bonds.
The double bonds allow oxygen to sneak in and oxidize the fatty acids, particularly when heated.

When oxidized they produce free radicals. Free radicals are unpaired electrons which manipulate your DNA & proteins to find an electron pair

They play a role in almost every disease
When oxidized, linoleic acid produces toxic byproducts.

The three main ones are:

- Acrolein
- HNE
- MDA

Acrolein is the main toxin found in cigarettes that causes lung cancer.

This study found that our fried seed oil consumption is equivalent to 25 cigarettes a day
Think about this next time you see a children eating french fries.

HNE and MDA are both cytotoxic and mutagenic — they kill cells and alter DNA. I'll discuss below some of the diseases they're linked to.
REASON #2 WHY SEED OILS ARE BAD FOR YOU: OMEGA 6 TO OMEGA 3 RATIO

Omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids are important signaling molecules

They have conflicting effects, so the ratio between the two in the diet is important

Omega 6s are pro inflammatory and 3's are anti inflammatory
Traditional hunter gatherers ate a diet that was 1:1 in these fatty acids.

The ratio today is over 15x.

This shifts your body to an inflammatory state. Some studies have also shown that small amts of omega 6 deplete omega 3 in the brain.
REASON #3: SEED OILS DIRECTLY INDUCE OBESITY

This is a much longer discussion, but omega 6 fatty acids disrupt satiation and cause you to eat more.

Pictured below: Frying potatoes in seed oils vs butter made subjects increase consumption by 400 CALORIES.
This is called the protons theory of obesity (Petro Dobromylskyj at hyperlipid has uncovered a lot of the mechanisms here).

Reactive oxygen species from mitochondria trigger local insulin resistance, signaling your full.

Seed oils prevent this trigger causing you to eat more
This study pictured below showed that rats gained a human equivalent 24 extra pounds in just three weeks when researchers swapped out beef fat for safflower oil.

Seed oils signal to your body to continue to suck up all the energy in sight.
Overstuffing your fat cells is one of the primary drivers of disease.

Your cell really has adequate energy, but because of seed oils it doesn't ever turn off.

It's like someone broke into your house and robbed it, but your house alarm never turned on.
DISEASE #1 SEED OILS ARE LINKED TO: ALZHEIMERS

Vegetable oils are the worst thing for your brain. It’s like cutting your head open and putting an iron directly on its surface.

Maybe even worse, because at least that would get out some of the wrinkles…
HNE, the toxic byproduct mentioned above, is always found in damaged areas of the brain.

Injecting it directly into rodents has been shown to cause the amyloid plaques which are typical of Alzheimer’s disease

Eating vegetable oils turns your brain into Chernobyl
DISEASE #2 SEED OILS ARE LINKED TO: CANCER

Cancer is caused by oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and genetic damage. Seed oils have been shown to cause all three.

Linoleic acid is even required in animal models to induce cancer.
This study pictured below showed that tumors started once rats consumed 20% of fatty acids in the form of linoleic acid

One of the main mechanisms by which vegetable oils cause cancer is through cardiolipin damage.
Cardiolipin is one of the main phospholipids in the mitochondria — the energy powerhouse of the cell.

When cardiolipin is damaged, this impairs the mitochondria’s metabolic efficiency

No tumor has ever been found with normal cardiolipin
HNE has also been shown to mutate mitochondrial DNA and cause oxidative damage. It also damages the p53 gene, which is a tumor suppressor . Damage to this gene occurs in many cancers.

Once again, this is due to the mutagenic properties of seed oils and their unstable nature.
DISEASE #3: DIABETES

In this study below, mice were placed on a high fat diet . One group consumed olive oil and the other consumed vegetable oils.

The group of mice consuming vegetable oils developed insulin resistance and the group consuming olive oil did not.
DISEASE #4: HEART DISEASE

Heart disease is characterized by the build up of plaque in the arteries.

These researchers discovered that this is caused by macrophages ingesting damaged LDL particles, turning into foam cells.

CUT SEED OILS OUT IMMEDIATELY

Vegetable oils are now hiding absolutely everywhere.

Everything from salad dressings, to pasta, to cereal and chips all are loaded with these vegetable oils.

Stop reading this and go throw away your seed oils immediately.
It's time to stop blaming meat & saturated fat for issues that these toxic unsaturated fats caused.
