Wait… vegetable oil? Like, olive, canola, avocado, coconut? I have never heard of this.
Edit: Commenter below helped me understand you’re probably talking about hydrogenated oils. Seems misleading to say vegetable oil is a silent killer. You’re not wrong about heavily processed foods, though. (Thanks @[email protected] !)
I think the raw oils are not that bad (maybe in quantity it becomes an issue). Coconut oil I know is saturated fat, so that can be bad for your heart.
I think the bigger issue is how they are used in processed food. Just about every processed food has “partially hydrogenated soybean oil” or something like that, which is basically the worst possible thing for cholesterol.
It’s the same with how everyone started using Crisco because lard was thought to be unhealthy. It turns out heavily processed vegetable oils are worse.
Most Vegetable and seed oils. They are a silent killer and they are in everything now including French fries to replace beef tallow.
There’s hardly a processed food that does not contain them and they are terrible for cardiovascular health.
Along with the fake sugars and sugar substitutes they will be among the things we will look back on and ask why.

Didn’t vegetable oil replace tallow?
