About The Hateful Eight
Avoid these oils: Corn
Canola
Cottonseed
Soy
Sunflower
Safflower
Rice
Grapeseed
They are too high in unstable fatty acids.
The average person is getting most of their calories from these oils.
Without these seed oils, we would not have the burden of chronic disease.
We were healthier 100 years ago, and we had no clue about vitamins, minerals, and supplements.
The Great Exchange
After a certain point, our body wants nothing to do with these unstable fatty acids.
Two percent of daily calories should come from omega-3 and omega-6. We actually need more omega-3 than we do omega-6.
The exchange of good fatty acids for bad fatty acids opens the door to chronic disease. Once we exceed the two percent amount of unstable fatty acids, then they end up in our body fat.
We have a lot of people who are on the skinny side but are centrally obese. Our bodies cannot traffic these unstable acids properly. That’s why it stays near the fat lining of our intestines.
Start eating the monounsaturated fatty acids.
Clear your life of the seed oils.
We Need More Omega-3s Than Omega-6s
On a healthy diet, omega-3s are more likely to get damaged during cooking.
For the amount that is ultimately absorbed, we need more omega-3 sources in the food that we eat.
You can’t supplement more omega-3 if you have been eating a standard American diet. Instead, you have to cut the omega-6. If you reduce omega-6 without increasing your intake of omega-3, then your blood levels of omega-3 will start to rise.
Oxidation science is very complicated, and there is a lot to consider.
Fish Oil Is Highly Unstable
Oxygen will attack the bond and destroy the molecule. Fish oil has two double bonds. So the oxygen is nine billion times more likely to attack.
Fish oils can have five double bonds. It is so unstable that it rarely makes it off the shelf before it’s destroyed.
The fish oil will turn into toxic compounds.
People are getting toxic compounds from low-quality fish oils.
