Imagine a food that is overloaded with omega-6 fatty acids and contributes to heart disease. Imagine a food that is also linked to declining testosterone levels. Now imagine that it's touted as healthy, pushing massive increases in consumption over the past few decades. What food have you imagined?
Soybean oil.
It's not health food. It's toxic, and the only reason that we use it is that it's cheap. Lard and butter are far better for you, but if you buy into the notion that saturated fat is unhealthy, then at least switch to olive oil. As for vegetable oils, especially soybean oil, just say no.
