The ‘Hateful Eight’ Seed
Oils Most Americans Don’t Know – But Should
By Dr. Cate Shanahan, MD, Contributor, The
MAHA Report
Last week I came across an article in Cleveland.com titled,“Processing
matters in MAHA’s seed-oil-vs-animal-fat debate.” It was
encouraging to see a mainstream outlet finally acknowledging what I’ve
been saying for nearly two decades: the way oils are processed
determines whether they nourish or poison us.

But even as the piece,
written by Paris Wolfe, concedes that “processing matters,” it misses
the most important point. The author’s conclusion is that we should
simply buy “unrefined” sunflower oil. What she doesn’t seem to realize
is that almost no one in America is eating unrefined sunflower
oil. |

And it’s not just a
problem with sunflower oil; more than 90 percent of the foods sold in
our country, that contain any oil, are made with eight refined,
bleached, and deodorized seed oils. These are the eight oils I’ve
called the Hateful
Eight —soy, corn, canola, cottonseed, sunflower,
safflower, grapeseed, and rice-bran. My research suggests
these have done more to damage our metabolic health than any other
ingredient in the modern diet. |
