Why You Should Avoid Sunflower and Canola Oil: What You Need to Know About Seed Oils

Vegetable oils, such as sunflower oil, canola oil, and rapeseed oil, are now found almost everywhere. Some say they are perfectly fine to eat, while others warn to avoid them at all costs. So, what is the truth? I was confused myself, but after reading The Contagion Myth, everything clicked into place. Let me explain why these oils may not be as good for you as you think and what you can do to nourish your body better.

How Are These Vegetable Oils Made?

Vegetable oils do not come straight from nature. They are extracted from hard seeds, such as sunflowers and canola, requiring a thorough chemical process. In the 19th century, the stainless steel roller press was invented, which allowed oil to be extracted from cottonseed, for example. This seed was originally a waste product of the cotton industry. However, the oil that came out was thick, dark, and had an extremely unpleasant smell, making it unsuitable for consumption.

To make the oil edible, it is heated with alkaline chemicals to remove the odor. Then, it is refined into a clear oil. In the beginning, this oil was even used to make candles! But with the rise of electricity and a declining demand for candles, manufacturers decided to sell the oil for human consumption. Because it was so cheap to produce, they had plenty of money to invest in marketing and lobbying (bribery) to push the oil into the market.

What Does This Oil Do in Your Body?

The fat molecules in these oils can make your body more sensitive to electromagnetic radiation (such as 5G and Wi-Fi). Saturated fats (such as butter and animal fat) help keep the outer layer of your cells firm, protecting them from harmful substances. These cell membranes consist of a double layer of fat molecules, which helps maintain a different composition and electrical charge inside the cell compared to its surroundings.

Inside the cells are mitochondria, the energy factories of your body. They need saturated fat to function properly. When cells come into contact with water (which is structured in a way that allows electrical current to pass through), energy is transported efficiently. Maintaining this structured water inside the cells is crucial for good health.

Why Saturated Fats Are Important

Saturated fats act as insulation for your cells, protecting them from external influences. Vegetable oils (such as seed oils) can weaken your cells, making them "leaky" and allowing harmful substances, such as EMFs, to enter. This disrupts mitochondrial function and reduces energy production in your body. Over time, this can lead to increased oxidative stress, which is harmful to your cells.

Additionally, saturated fats are necessary for absorbing fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D, and K2. These vitamins are essential for your immune system, hormone production, energy levels, and lung health. Without the right fats, your body cannot properly use these vitamins, even if you eat a healthy diet.

Healthy Fats vs. Seed Oils

On social media, you often see health-conscious people eating foods like liver, grass-fed meat, eggs, butter, and fatty fish. These foods are rich in healthy fats and essential nutrients. However, it's important that these products come from animals that have lived outdoors in the sun and have not been pumped full of hormones or antibiotics. Animal products that are good for your health contain a lot of saturated fats, which are crucial for healthy cellular function and absorbing key vitamins.

In Short:

Vegetable oils like sunflower oil and canola oil may seem harmless, but their production process and effects on the body are problematic. They can weaken your cells, making them more vulnerable to harmful radiation and other external influences. Saturated fats, found in butter and animal products, help keep your cells strong and ensure proper energy production. They also support the absorption of vital vitamins that strengthen your immune system and overall health.

It’s time to return to a more natural way of living, just as our ancestors did, and give healthy fats a place in our diet again.

Conclusion

I hope you now understand more about the effects of seed oils on your health. I encourage you to do your own research and adjust your diet for better well-being. Take care of your body and keep learning!

All the information in this blog comes from this book, and I highly recommend reading it yourself. It was written by a conventional medicine doctor and his "soulmate," as he calls her. It is a beautifully written book, backed by an extensive number of sources.
