assertion
Analysis v1
When oil is made in factories using heat and chemicals, it turns into bad stuff that can hurt your body.
Scientific Claim
Industrial refining of seed oils using solvents, high heat (>260°C), and chemical treatments generates toxic lipid oxidation byproducts including aldehydes and trans fats.
Original Statement
“To squeeze out more oil, they use industrial solvents like hexane, a chemical derived from gasoline. Then the oil is degummed with acid, bleached with bleaching clay, and deodorized by blasting it with steam at up to 260° C. Every single one of these steps damages the fat molecules. This creates toxic byproducts like aldehydes and trans fats.”
