One of the biggest concerns with industrial seed oils (like canola, soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower, cottonseed, grapeseed, and rice bran oil) is how theyโre made.
These oils are typically:
โข Heavily refined
โข Heated to very high temperatures
โข Extracted using chemical solvents like hexane
This processing damages the fats, making them highly inflammatory and extremely high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can contribute to inflammation when consumed in excessโespecially without enough omega-3s to balance things out.

๐ Important note:
The biggest concern with seed oils isnโt occasional consumption. Itโs the fact that theyโre hidden in a huge percentage of packaged foods and restaurant meals, and even used in home cooked meals, leading to very high daily intake without people realizing it.
โจ Skin care disclaimer:
While seed oils are generally not recommended for ingestion as outlined above, cold-pressed, organic, unrefined, hexane-free seed oils can actually be very nourishing for the skin. These oils arenโt exposed to high heat or chemical solvents, which makes a big difference topically.
