The way seed oils are made creates poisonous chemicals that can hurt your body.
Scientific Claim
Industrial refining processes of seed oils—including degumming, bleaching, and deodorization at high temperatures—generate toxic lipid oxidation byproducts such as reactive aldehydes and trans fats.
Original Statement
“Every single one of these steps damages the fat molecules. This creates toxic byproducts like aldehydes and trans fats.”

This study shows that when oil is cleaned and heated during factory processing, it creates harmful chemicals—just like the claim says. Even though it measured different toxins, they’re made the same way, so it supports the idea that refining makes bad stuff in oil.
