The Truth About Seed Oils

by Functional Medicine of Idaho

Ditch the inflammation and switch to healthier oils! Seed oils, which are commonly used in many households, can be highly inflammatory due to their processing methods that involve high heat, solvents, and chemicals. Seed oils we recommend limiting or staying away from include: Corn, Safflower, Sunflower, Vegetable, Canola, Rapeseed, and Palm oils. Seed oils are high in Omega-6 fatty acids, which can increase inflammation, especially when consumed in an unbalanced ratio with Omega-3 fatty acids.

So which oils should you use instead?

Try some of these better options: Butter, Tallow, Ghee, Coconut oil, Olive oil, or Avocado oil. These alternatives can offer a range of health benefits and help you reduce inflammation in your body. Make a healthier choice and switch to these better oils today!
