🧵THREAD: Today I am going to red-pill you about dangerous vegetable oils, which are found in almost all processed foods. Consequently, this is likely the most important thread you will read this week. Contrary to popular belief, the term 'vegetable oils' is misleading. These oils are called 'vegetable' not because they come from vegetables in the traditional sense, but because they are derived from plant sources. This includes seeds such as cottonseeds, soybeans, and sunflower seeds. These oils need to be heavily refined to remove various toxins and natural impurities, which can be harmful or affect the taste and stability of the oil. The refining process also extends the shelf life of these oils. However, this refining process creates trans fats, a type of unsaturated fat that is detrimental to our health, especially when consumed in large amounts. Trans fats, along with a high omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio found in these oils, disrupt our body's metabolic processes. They contribute to inflammation and imbalance cytokine production, which are crucial in our body's immune response and healing processes. Long-term consumption of these fats is linked to various health hazards, including an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other chronic conditions. To provide a comparison, I've included olive oil in the graphic. Unlike these refined oils, olive oil, especially extra virgin olive oil, is less processed and contains healthy fats. It has a more balanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratio and doesn't contain trans fats, making it a much better choice for your health. In the posts below, I will delve into the history of vegetable oils and explain the mechanisms that make these seed oils extremely harmful.

@AaronBastani One from the aerial photography archives. Here's the Leeds Liverpool canal in Wigan, Aug 1920. An electric tram is visible near the bridge in the middle. Within just 11 years of this picture Wigan would close all it's tramlines, replaced by buses. …tframe.historicenglandservices.org.uk/p/EPW005029/de…
