At the store, you might notice the big \u201cHeart Healthy\u201d graphic on the gleaming bottles of vegetable oil. But are they really? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetable oils are shrouded in controversy. Competing studies argue in favor and against using it, making it quite difficult to simply get your grocery shopping done before it\u2019s time to make dinner tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to understand a\nlittle background on vegetable oils. What you don\u2019t know about vegetable oils\nis the key to living in your best health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are they anyway?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetable oils are fats from plants. You\u2019ll\nsee soy, canola, corn, and cotton as the most popular. In comparison to everyone\u2019s\nfavorite olive oil, which has been pressed for ages, vegetable oils use\nindustrial processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, learning about that might make you\nlose your appetite. Uses of solvents, bleaching agents, and hexane tend to go\ninto the process for creating\nvegetable oils<\/a>\nfrom the seeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These refined oils have become the new standard in our diets. Studies that have attempted to find conclusive evidence that vegetable oils are the cause of cancer, mental illness, obesity and diabetes need more merit before they can be declared official. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, a glance back in history reveals that 100 years ago<\/a>, most people consumed around 20 grams of vegetable oil a day. In modern times, that amount has gone up to 50 grams a day, which is double what it was back in 1970.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there a correlation? Again, there\u2019s nothing set in stone but to minimize your risks, you should work with more stable forms of oil for cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetable oils exposed to very high temperatures for long periods are the biggest area of concern. Health experts recommend clarified butter<\/strong> and coconut oil<\/strong> since they stay stable at high heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you still using vegetable oils? If\nyou\u2019re worried about having too much omega-6 oils in your diet, here are a few\nways to cut down your consumption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Limit the vegetable oils\nyou use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When shopping for oil at the store, stop\nbuying vegetable oil. You can limit what you consume down to mayo or salad\ndressing, but it might be best to eliminate it completely. You can make your\nown mayo and salad dressings that will taste even better than store-bought\nanyway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Order substitutions\nwhenever possible<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you know, when you\u2019re living a healthy\nlifestyle, you have to be vigilant when dining out. At restaurants, instead of\njust avoiding fried things, ask about the oils used. Request politely to have\nyour food cooked in coconut oil if it\u2019s possible. Not every place will be able\nto do so, but it never hurts to ask. For salads, ask for olive oil and vinegar\nto be sure you\u2019re avoiding that excess vegetable oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– No more\ncommercially-baked snacks and treats<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve decided that you would like to live a healthier life by cutting out sugar and refined grains, that\u2019s a great step in a low-carb and healthy direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It serves another purpose though because those commercially-made foods tend to have lots of vegetable oils. You\u2019re better off learning hacks to create your own sweet and savory treats at home without added sugars, vegetable oils, or carbs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know the dangers vegetable oil can pose for you, you can choose to limit it to ensure your low carb lifestyle isn\u2019t compromised! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
