I haven't done a book giveaway in awhile. Hard cover Wheel of Time book up for grabs, LIKE and REPOST to enter. Winner will be selected on the January 14th!
Today, I am going to red-pill you about vegetable oils. Make sure you bookmark and share this post:
1. Unnatural Extraction Process: Unlike coconut or olive oil, which can be extracted through pressing, seed oils like canola, soybean, and corn oil require unnatural methods for extraction. They undergo processes involving high heat and chemical solvents like petroleum, leading to oxidation and the formation of trans fats even before they reach your kitchen.
2. A Modern Dietary Addition: Industrial seed oils are a recent addition to our diet, exploding in consumption from virtually zero in the early 1900s to 70 lbs per year per person today. This dramatic increase corresponds with a surge in chronic health issues, suggesting a link between seed oil consumption and modern diseases.
3. Omega-6 and Inflammation: Vegetable oils are high in Omega-6 fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, which is a precursor to pro-inflammatory eicosanoids. These molecules can cause chronic inflammation and contribute to autoimmune diseases. The excessive consumption of Omega-6, without the balance of Omega-3, exacerbates these health issues.
4. Oxidative Stress and Cancer: Studies have shown that diets high in vegetable oils, particularly linoleic acid, lead to oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and genetic damage. These factors are instrumental in promoting cancer, with some studies revealing a fourfold increase in metastasis in diets high in these oils.
5. Increased Mortality Rate: Over a seven-year study, groups consuming high amounts of vegetable oil had a 62% greater all-cause mortality rate compared to those with lower consumption. This risk increase is more significant than that associated with heavy smoking or obesity.
6. Heart Disease Risk: The Minnesota Coronary Experiment found that participants who increased their intake of corn oil and margarine had an 86% higher incidence of heart attacks. Despite lower cholesterol levels, the vegetable oil group had a significantly higher mortality rate from heart attacks.
7. Cardiovascular Deaths: The MARGARIN Study revealed that the group consuming margarine high in linoleic acid from vegetable oils had a 700% higher rate of strokes, heart attacks, and cardiovascular deaths compared to a group consuming Omega-3-rich fish oil. This stark difference underscores the health risks of high vegetable oil consumption.
Remember, the key to a healthier life is understanding what you're putting into your body. Rethink your oil choices and opt for natural, minimally processed fats.

@CryptoNature I use movement games on Meta Quest, like Beat Saber and Synth Riders, to get my mind and body back in order. Being nuerodivergent, I really enjoy tue immersion, the workout, and the music. I can just zone out and be in my own world, process what I need to and discard the rest.
@carniyogi@EarthlingAus And, here is another collection of studies done by Harvard that might be of interest. https://t.co/ojaWLpiLcr
Further, if you have a free weekend, pick up the book 'The China Study' by Dr's. Colin and Thomas Cambell.
@JohnnyCarthief@SentientBlobBob Nutritionally speaking, butter (read: any animal fat) is exponentially worse for you. It's 100% saturated fat. Saturated fat is one of the main contributors to heart disease, diabetes, and dementia.
@artistandtheart @nukelyon1 @NiaRichichi We need to keep in mind that doctors aren't interested in healing anyone....they are interested in keeping a patient. They have next to no nutrition education. There is no specific animal protein that anyone needs. That's just the establishment talking. Plant protein is fine.
@ZoIang It's okay that you don't know anything about nutrition or the gut biome, but let's call it what it is. Don't blame the diet. I've been vegan 15 years and all those things necrovores say will happen to me if I don't eat meat haven't happened, yet. Still thriving n surviving!
@PsyKomanteum1@SafferTheGaffer Perhaps you never heard of AGE's... glycotoxin buildup can definitely cause someone to look like that. Red skin, pre-mature wrinkling, etc.
@Lindhacker@Veganella_ @RCVGAN @Denielle425@rodrigo_s1997 I've been vegan for 13 years and work very physically demanding jobs. I run circles around my necrovore coworkers. They are always tired or sick and move so slowly it's frustrating sometimes. These tweets (X's?!) carnists make to justify their death-eating make me laugh.
