Believe it or not, many cooking oils on the grocery store shelf labelled "healthy", really aren't. This is particularly true when it comes to vegetable oils. Think about it --- do y0u have any vegetable oil in your cabinet? Research shows they vegetable oils are not suitable for cooking over higher temperatures, plus they are toxic and laden with chemicals. It has even been shown that vegetable oils are high in Omega-6 fatty acids which cause inflammation in the body. Excessive consumption of Omega-6 has been linked to cardiovascular disease, arthritis, depression, and certain types of cancer. 

Because vegetable oils are overwhelmingly genetically modified organisms (GMOs), a myriad of other health problems have resulted from cooking with vegetable oils. This list includes but is not limited to damage to the female reproductive system, fetal and childhood development, reduced hormone production, brain atrophy, obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, liver and kidney damage, vitamin and mineral deficiency, and even behavioral problems in children.

To help you make better choices for your overall health, avoid these five vegetable oils at all costs!
