Yes you read it in the title, these oils are worse than cigarettes for the body, way worse. Bottom line they produce more oxidative and inflammatory compounds and carcinogenic activity than cigarettes do, and people are pouring these oils in their food all day long in large quantity. All restaurant food, fast food, cafes and eateries use one thing for their number one ingredient on their menu and it is, soybean oil, canola oil, corn oil, or something similar. Usually combined with one or more other source of genetically modified refined sugar (high fructose corn syrup) or refined flour (enriched wheat flour). This is the top 3 ingredients in all restaurants cross the board aside from some higher end or specialty restaurants that use butter or coconut oil to cook their dishes with, and use in pastries/baked goods/bread. If they do not specify that they use coconut oil, ghee, or butter in their baked goods and to cook with, than the top 3 ingredients for every dish on the menu is 1. GMO Vegetable Oils 2. High fructose Corn Syrup 3: Enriched Wheat Flour. Give or take some processed factory farmed meat, and factory farmed processed cheese. Literally, that is the entirety of the ingredients in 90% of food from any conventional restaurant, diner, fast food, cafe or eatery.
Lets talk about vegetable oil’s definition. Vegetable oil is bout vegetable oil. “Vegetable” oils, obviously the word “vegetable” doesn’t tell you much because hundreds of different thing are technically vegetable oil. All Vegetable oils contain omega 3, omega 6, and omega 9 fatty acids. The oils commonly used in food in america for “cooking” are primarily the omega 6 dominant oils such as corn, cottonseed, sunflower, soybean oil. Oils high in omega 9, but still with a substantial amount of omega 6 are deemed “good fats” like olive, canola, avocado, peanut. Besides flax seed and chia, every vegetable oil is primarily omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids. Keep that in mind.
Now lets address why these foods are incredibly toxic to the body, and why they associated with creating oxidative stress and inflammation. What needs to be kept in mind here, is that vegetable oils by themselves are bad, but vegetable oils heated up are incredibly bad. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/news/11981884/Cooking-with-vegetable-oils-releases-toxic-cancer-causing-chemicals-say-experts.html This is a direct study linking heated vegetables to cancer. Omega 6 and Omega 9 Fatty acids are what is know as polyunsaturated fats, and monounsaturated fats. These fats are incredibly unstable, and can oxidize very easily. Oxidizing happens especially when heating. The oxygen in the air, will render oils useless in a short period of time. When these oils in vegetable oxidize, it creates inflammation. Eating oxidized fats, creates inflammation. Omega 6 converts to arachidonic acid when oxidized, which is directly linked to inflammation. You can check that here: heating is one way to oxidize these lipids. Coming in contact with the air is another. When these oils are inside a cellulose protective barrier they do not come into contact with the oxygen outside. When they are extracted from the plants in the form of oils, they are then exposed to the oxygen in the air. Here is where oxidation also takes place, and any oils you have with any amount of air in them have been oxidizing since they were extracted, making these vegetable oils, even when they are cold, oxidative, inflammatory, and carcinogenic. Far greater than that of cigarettes. People live into their 90’s and 100’s smoking packs a day, the life expectancy in the south is 35 in some places. Fried foods, vegetables oils are indefinitely #1 Worst thing for your health. COCONUT OIL IS AN EXCEPTION, BEING A SATURATED FAT, MAKING IT MORE STABLE AND LESS LIKELY TO OXIDIZE. BUTTER, CREAM, CHEESE, SAME CONCEPT
#2 High Fructose GMO Corn syrup – This is refined, fructose, from GMO corn. What else do you need to know? We know refining things causes problems. We know fructose is bad. And while there is no studies on GMO foods, so take your stance on that, I for one believe them to be a disease to human function and consciousness evolution. Sugar is a drug, and this is not a spoon full of sugar in your tea at night. 1 Tablespoon of sugar is 4 grams of sugar, a can of coke (12oz) Has 60+ grams of sugar??? 15 spoonfuls of sugar. The body cannot handle that amounf o sugar, especially with mineral deficiencies, and things like type II diabetes will manifest. Top 3 killer annually
#3 Enriched GMO Wheat Flour – All fall into this category. This is not whole ground seed into a flour. This is a refined source of gmo wheat that has not been neutralized with germination, has all the toxins that are known to come with grains, the glyphosate its modified to resist, the gluten, a modified structure, and vitamins added that may or may not be good for your given their source. This is going to cause problems in the gut, the toxins eat away at the gut and have been shown to produce IBS, leaky gut and the gluten will block up the intenstine and prevent nutrient absorption . Thats what gluten does, GLuten is a protein that is not eaily broken down, and will eventually clog up space in your intestine and prevent nutrient absorption.
Side Note: Wheat / Barley / Rye / Oats should all be avoided, especially without being germinated due to the gluten, anti-nutrients, and gut detsroying capacity all grains have.
#4: Well done meat, charred animal fat, burnt potato/sweet potato skin
Carcinogenic compounds such as heterocyclic amines (HCA) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) form during the processing or cooking of meat. The dark “grill marks” on hot dogs, on steaks, chicken skin, the charred bits, those are HCA’s and PCA’s, and they are carcinogenic. The cause cancer. These are free radicals creating oxidative stress on the body, causing inflammation, that’s what disease stems from. This also happens in potato skins and sweet potato skins when cooked. This does not occur when the meat is cooked rare.

#5 Meat with Nitrates, Deli Meat
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies nitrates and nitrites as “probably carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2A) under certain conditions (i.e. ingested nitrate or nitrite under conditions that result in endogenous nitrosation) which could lead to the formation of carcinogens. Source . All deli meat contains nitrates, it is used a common preservative. Sausage, bacon, ham, and of these processed meats are sure to come laced with carcinogenic compounds, and is the reason you see children with colon cancer or ulcertive collitus.
#6 Corn and #7 Soy
Two of the most highly genetically modified foods that are known to cause oxidation and in turn inflammation. These two plants and everything made from them by the big food businesses, that mostly gets sold to fast food and mainstream restaurants, is absolutely carcinogenic, oxidation, and inflammatory. The oils in these two plants and the high level of processing is one source (Check #1), The anti-nutrients from these two in their raw state, which is incorporated into the late products wreaks havoc on the gut. Being genetically modified makes them candidates to be sprayed with glyphosate, a known carcinogen, and destroyed of gut flora, which is what your digestion depends on. So the plants themselves do not offer much as food sources, but with the refining and high levels or processing makes these two foods into two of the worst foods and highest on the list to avoid.
#8 : Dyes: Dyes are seen in any food with color. The most common, blue 2 , red 40, and yellow 5 are all contaminated with known carcinogens. Dyes are subtley linked to ADHD and the like. But they are known to have poor effects on your health through their caricnogenic activity
#9: Preservatives
Sodium Benzoate is the most commonly used preservative in energy drinks, and other soft drinks. This is the good definitiion: when sodium benzoate combines with ascorbic acid (vitamin C) benzene can form, which is a known carcinogen. Factors such as heat and time can affect its development
#10 : Artificial Sweeteners
Aspartame and sucralose are the two most used artificial sweeteners. Aspartame is rumored to be one of the worst thigns to put into the body. There is a lot of misinformation on the chemical so that it can still be used. “You can visit the website for Equal, which says that aspartame-induced tumors, migraines, seizures and nervous system disorders are just “urban myths.” If you believe that, you probably also believe the aspartame industry’s argument that the studies that resulted in the condemnation of their products were based on lab rats instead of humans. Just take note, however, that “spontaneous brain tumors in laboratory rats are extremely rare,” according to Dr. H.J. Roberts in Aspartame (NutraSweet): Is It Safe?. So before you believe what the manufacturers of aspartame products would like to tell you, consider first the fact that for extensively-studied, generic laboratory rats, “brain tumors are extremely rare before age one and one-half,” according to Dr. Blaylock. Afterward, compare that observation to study results cited by Dr. Blaylock that indicate “aspartame-fed rats developed two tumors by 60 weeks of age and five tumors by 70 weeks.” Now, do you still believe it’s an “urban myth?””
