Industrial oils are NOT good for health π
Vegetable oil is an industrial seed oil.
Oils like soybean, canola, sunflower, and corn oils are heavily refined.
During processing and cooking, they oxidize easily, which makes them unstable in the body.
These oils only became common in our diets less than 100 years ago.
Before that, people cooked with palm oil, coconut oil, animal fats, olive oil, and butter.
When populations switched to high amounts of refined seed oils and ultra-processed carbohydrates, rates of obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic problems increased sharply.
Traditional Nigerian cooking relied on palm oil, coconut oil, and animal fats.
These oils are heat-stable, minimally processed, and aligned with how humans have eaten for generations.
The move to refined seed oils was not about health. It was about cost.
They are cheaper to produce, last longer on shelves, and bring higher profits.
You were not educated into using them.
You were marketed into using them.
