73% of adults are living with symptoms of gut issues. An unhealthy gut can lead to chronic disease and poor mental health.
I struggled with gut issues for years before discovering this simple 6 step plan to fix it.
Oil pulling is an effective way to remedy inflammation because it decreases bacteria and plaque that contribute to gingivitis. You can further reduce inflammation by using oils with anti-inflammatory properties, which include coconut oil 🥥 https://t.co/as24kY7JmY
#4 It's crucial to be well-informed about the foods we consume, and vegetable oils are no exception. As mentioned in the tweets above, these oils, widely used in processed foods, have been linked to numerous health problems, impacting billions of lives each year.
The vegetable oil industry is massive, with $100 billion at stake. Unfortunately, politicians and policymakers sometimes prioritize economic interests over public health. Rather than dismantling the harmful vegetable oil industry and banning its use in foodstuffs, they asserted that the world needed to lock down for a common cold virus that proved to be much less lethal than claimed, introducing measures that caused more harm than good.
👉 This means that corrupt politicians do not care about our health; they actually want us sick or even dead. So it is up to you to take your health into your own hands. You can do this by staying informed and reading my tweets or the ones of my start-up and health blog @sunfluencer, and, most importantly, by avoiding processed foodstuff of any kind. Contrary to common belief, it is not only healthier but also more cost-effective. Your health is worth more than being lazy and making those richer who want you sick. Resist - avoid vegetable oils!

#3 The prevalence of vegetable oils in processed foods is staggering due to their cost-effectiveness. But how often do you take a moment to read the small print on the back of a product? Here's a simple rule: whenever you spot "vegetable oil" in the ingredients, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.
💡 Now, let's delve into the history of why vegetable oils became so prevalent a century ago. Back in 1900, an entirely different story was unfolding across the ocean. The German army was actively seeking a synthetic lubricant for diesel engines used in submarines. In 1902, the German chemist Wilhelm Normann achieved a groundbreaking milestone by successfully solidifying vegetable oils. At the same time, the United States was grappling with a surplus of cotton production, leading to a dilemma on how to utilize the waste streams, especially the seeds. Instead of discarding them, someone had the idea to extract oil from these seeds. However, there was a significant hurdle to overcome – the presence of a toxin called gossypol within the cotton seeds.
🔥 To rid the oil of toxins like gossypol found in cotton seeds, a similar refining process was employed, involving high heat, chemicals, and immense pressure. Yet, this process had its own set of problems. Exposure to high heat during refining made the oil prone to oxidation, leading to the accumulation of free radicals, which harm cells and contribute to illness and aging, as explained in a previous post.
🕰️ Around 1920, this product was transformed into something you might recognize today as 'Crisco,' an abbreviation for Crystalized Cottonseed Oil. But eventually, soybean oil emerged as a cheaper alternative. Remember, in the world of business, profits often take precedence over people's health.

@goddek These oils are even part of organic foods. Read your organic peanut butter label. Restaurants use these oils so beware even when the restaurant uses “organic” or non-GMO ingredients. They still most likely use these cheap oils.
🧵THREAD: Today, I am going to red-pill you about vegetable oils because they are toxic and will make you sick. Consequently, this is likely the most important thread you will read this week. Contrary to popular belief, the term 'vegetable oils' is somewhat misleading. These oils are named 'vegetable' not because they come from vegetables in the traditional sense, but because they are derived from plant sources. This includes seeds such as cottonseeds, soybeans, and sunflowers seeds.
These oils need to be refined to remove various toxins and natural impurities which can be harmful or affect the taste and stability of the oil. The refining process also helps in extending the shelf life of these oils.
However, this refining process leads to the formation of trans fats. These are a type of unsaturated fat that can be detrimental to our health, particularly when consumed in high amounts.
Trans fats, along with a high omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio found in these oils, disrupt our body's metabolic processes. They contribute to inflammation and an imbalance in cytokine production, which are crucial in our body's immune response and healing processes.
Long-term consumption of these fats is linked to various health hazards, including increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other chronic conditions.
To provide a comparison, I've included olive oil in the graphic. Unlike these refined oils, olive oil, especially extra virgin olive oil, is less processed and contains healthy fats. It has a more balanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratio and doesn't contain trans fats, making it a much better choice for your health.
In the posts below, I will tell you about the history of vegetable oils and explain the mechanisms that make these seed oils extremely harmful.

@AlpacaAurelius People think that petroleum jelly will protect their dry cracked skin, and what happens is that those toxic PAHs enter the body, they are stored in the kidneys, liver, and fat. Healthy alternatives include tallow, coconut and olive oil, cocoa and shea butters and beeswax.
