If you swap out cooking oils like soybean or corn oil for olive oil, butter, or coconut oil, you might lower the stuff in your body that causes inflammation and make your blood fats more stable and healthy.

Incorporation of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids from seed oils into cell membranes increases lipid peroxidation, triggering chronic low-grade systemic inflammation.

If you swap out butter and fatty meats for oils like sunflower or soybean oil, you might lower your risk of heart disease by about 30%—just like taking a statin pill—because it helps reduce the 'bad' cholesterol that clogs your arteries.
