They are processed, cleaned with chemicals, and most come from genetically modified corn, canola or soy. Most oils found on the grocery store aisles are heated to very high temperatures during processing; this heat oxidizes the oils. Oxidation also creates free radicals that can damage the cells of our bodies so it is best to avoid them. The processing increases the shelf-life of the oils and removes most of the natural flavoring, making them more attractive for the industrial food industry, but less attractive to the consumer. Vegetable oils, like canola and corn oil, are usually made with genetically modified corn, canola, and soy. So, we suggest you limit the use of such oils and stick with unrefined oils. Here's an easy checklist of oils to avoid: •Vegetable Oil •Organic Vegetable Oil •Soybean Oil •Corn Oil •Canola Oil •Organic Canola Oil •Grape Seed Oil •Hydrogenated Oils •Margarine •Any oil that is labeled as refined, hydrogenated, partially-hydrogenated Recommended Oils & Fats for a Healthy Lifestyle It's important to balance your diet by including healthy oils and fats.
