Central Govt. yesterday issued a notification banning sale and advertisement of junk food near a school campus, school canteen, and hostel kitchen. They say these foods contain high fat, salt, and sugar.

Salt, sugar, and fat are dangerous to our health. But most of us ignore the most dangerous of all Vegetable oils in our food.

Yes, Vegetable oils once marketed as heart-friendly is proving to be the most dangerous food, we intake.

Before I write about these highly unhealthy Oils we eat, here is a list of Vegetable Oils.

Canola, corn, cottonseed, palm, soy, sunflower, safflower, rice bran, and grapeseed oils are vegetable oils.

Food items with Vegetable Oils are:

In her book, Deep Nutrition author Dr. Catherine Shanahan cautions us about the dangers of consuming vegetable oils. It’s really dangerous.

She writes Vegetable Oils attack our brain at seven distinct vulnerability points. These attract cause autism and other childhood neurologic disorders. Vegetable oils make our bran more susceptible to damage by sugar. She says more than anything else vegetable oils are what puts the Junk in junk food.

How can vegetable oils play havoc on your body?

Free radicals are dangerous as it damages all parts of our body; cell membrane, chromosomes, and other fats. It has a cascading effect on the body. Free radicals make your food extremely crispy (remember your crisply French fries !!) but inside the body, it also makes our arteries crispy. Free radicals make material stiff and inflexible. Your arteries stop responding to normal body stresses. Eating food fried in vegetable oil may precipitate a heart attack.

Vegetable oils also destroy complex nutrients in the food. Food fried in vegetable oils carry fewer vitamins and antioxidants.
