The American Heart Association Is A Fake News Organization

In 1948, the American Heart Association decided to accept outside funding; their first benefactor gave them a whopping $1.7 million. Sadly, the American Heart Association has taken over the conversation around nutrition. Since 1948, they have been pumping out many publications that seem like “science,” but it is complete propaganda. Americans are eating more seed oils, and it’s making us obese. We are going backward in terms of our ability to make people healthy.

Read Dr. Cate’s blog on the subject! Cholesterol Is Good, The American Heart Association is Bad: https://drcate.com/why-cholesterol-is-good/

The Problems With Industrial Seed Oils

Seed oils have a lot of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). They biochemically are easily attacked by oxygen, and they become toxic. Foods cooked in seed oils, like french fries, have some of the same toxins you inhale when you inhale cigarette smoke. For instance, both french fries and cigarettes have the same amount of crotonaldehyde. There are eight seed oils that you should avoid called The Hateful Eight:

  1. Canola
  2. Corn
  3. Cottonseed
  4. Soy
  5. Sunflower
  6. Safflower
  7. Grapeseed
  8. Rice bran

Differences Between Refined and Unrefined Peanut Oil 

Peanut oil has a good amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids in it. However, it has been cultivated specifically for use as food. The cultivation of an oil seed makes it more oily. Olives have become more oily over time; the same goes for peanuts. You don’t need to treat peanuts with harsh chemicals to extract oil. Dr. Cate recommends unrefined peanut oil. There are a lot of antioxidants in there that stabilize the PUFAs during cooking. Peanut oil that is refined is okay because it’s better than seed oils; however, it doesn’t have much nutrition, and it’s not as heat stable. If Dr. Cate had to recommend one cooking method, it would be to cook your food in tallow.

Vegetable Oils Are Worse Than Smoking Cigarettes

The toxicity begins and ends with the beginning and end of your cigarette. Vegetable oils will end up in your body fat; this adds a whole other layer of metabolic impacts beyond the direct toxic effects. Vegetable oils are worse than sugar too. Sugar and high fructose corn syrup are full of empty calories. When you break down sugar, your body can’t tell where the molecules come from. Those empty calories will turn into normal body fat. Humans have carried normal body fat around for a long time. Sadly, many people walk around with 40% PUFAs in their body fat.

How Can You Avoid Seed Oils While Eating Out? 

Ask them to cook your food in natural butter, not butter oil. Ask them for real olive oil if they don’t have real butter. If they don’t have butter or olive oil, they can cook your food using a different method, like steaming. Then, it would help if you took out the carbs. You can get a taco salad at Taco Bell without the shell. The shell has loads of vegetable oils in them. When you go to Taco Bell for salad, you can top it with meat, cheese, and avocado. Ben will tell the waiter that he is allergic to vegetable oils so that the restaurant staff will take the request seriously.

Questions and Answers

How can we release the PUFAs from stored fats in our bodies?

  •  The more you burn your body fat, the more it will happen.
  •  Fasting will accelerate the process. Stop snacking between meals and eat foods that give you sustainable energy.

What about essential oils?

  •  Traditional nuts and fruits have good fatty acid profiles.
  •  Essential oils won’t get absorbed through the bloodstream if you use them on your skin.

How long will it take omega-3 to leave the body?

  •  It will be stored in your body fat for around 18 months.
  •  This time could be longer, depending on your body fat.
