Processed Seed Oils
High in omega-6 fatty acids that may promote inflammation when consumed in excess.
Processed seed oils — including canola, soybean, sunflower, corn, and cottonseed oil — are extremely high in omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. While omega-6 fats are essential, the modern diet contains far too many relative to omega-3s, which promotes a pro-inflammatory environment. Oxidized seed oils (from high-heat cooking) may be particularly damaging to gut and cardiovascular health.
