Please be more specific, my understanding is there is no easy X is harmful in nutrition. Your example vegetable seed oil:
Refined sunflower oil at high temperatures --> bad
Cold pressed sunflower oil --> ok (great source of Vitamin E, but too much omega 6 compared to 3)
Cold pressed linseed oil --> good
> The other thing I'm very skeptical of now is milk replacements, like oat milk.
Could you elaborate? You can make oat milk easily at home. Let oat flakes soak in cold water over night, blend, sift, done. Go fancy and add a drop of rapeseed oil (will work as a natural emulsifier) and a pinch of salt.
- gherittwhite 6y agoSo the problem with all of those oils is the high concentration of PUFA which is more susceptible to oxidation and thus causes inflammation. Commercial oat milk like that made by Oatly has rapeseed oil added into it and is then pasteurized. Heating vegetable oils is bad. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1537189114000536 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S15371... Maybe something home made isn't bad.
