The Dark History of Industrial Seed Oils

Vegetable oil was originally a by-product of Proctor and Gamble’s soap-making process and was condemned as “toxic waste."

Then they realized they could make a buck by hydrogenating cottonseed oil and passing it off as a cooking oil. It wasn’t long before other hydrogenated oils like canola, soybean, and sunflower oils hit the shelves.

Paid scientists began singing their praises and advised consuming them in place of “unhealthy” animal-based saturated fats that people had eaten for hundreds of years without any issue.

Try ghee, coconut oil, grass-fed tallow, or grass-fed butter instead. All of these have a far lower percentage of linoleic acid.
