Beware: These Common Cooking Oils May Be Damaging Your Heart!
Heart attacks are no longer a rare event. From young adults aged 20 to 35 to older populations, the risk of cardiovascular diseases is rising — and one major culprit hides in our kitchens: cooking oils.
The Hidden Danger in Your Kitchen: Omega-6 Fatty Acids
Many edible oils used for cooking, such as:
-
Soybean oil
-
Corn oil
-
Canola oil
-
Sunflower oil
-
Banola oil
contain high amounts of Omega-6 fatty acids, which, in excess, contribute to inflammation, heart disease, and other health risks.
While our body needs Omega-6 in small amounts, modern diets are overloaded with it, upsetting the balance with Omega-3 and Omega-9, leading to chronic illnesses.
🟡 Is Mustard Oil Safe?
Mustard oil contains Omega-9 fatty acids and a compound called erucic acid, which some studies suggest may help protect heart health — though it is still controversial in large doses.
The key here is moderation and balance.
