Why Vegetable Oils are Bad for You?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There is no confusion on what oil to use in the Paleo diet. Animal fats like lard<\/a> and tallow<\/a> are best recommended when it comes to cooking Paleo food. Only the unprocessed and most natural food are considered Paleo approved.<\/p>\n

It can be deceiving that vegetable oils seem to sound healthy as they come from vegetables and vegetables are good for you. Apparently, vegetable oils are not Paleo and should be eliminated from your pantry. Technology is required to produce these oils. Vegetable oils are produced through series of chemical procedures such as high heating, degumming, deodorizing and bleaching. Most of the time, several refined oils are combined and addition of chemicals such as hexane is required to create a vegetable oil. Hexane, aside from being used to produce more oil, they are also used to make glue, leather and roofing products. Most often, the produce or crops used to create vegetables are genetically modified to be pest resistant. So think of these pesticides in your food?? Not good!<\/p>\n

Vegetable oils definitely did not exist during the paleolithic era because technology was not present at that time.<\/p>\n
