When you are thinking about switching to eating healthy, the first thing to change is with what oil you are cooking your food. With innumerable alternatives present on the supermarket store shelf, it is tough to select which cooking oil is the best for our health. There is margarine, extra virgin olive oil, butter, vegetable oil, refined oil, and cold-pressed oils. People will react like it is not a big deal to choose between the refined and the cold-pressed oil while cooking. According to most of them, it is just oil that is consumable. 

But the real question is, are they all consumable? Well, we are sure you will never want to cook your food in oil, which is full of toxic chemicals like the refined ones. So, how to save your near ones and yourself from this scenario? The only way for this is to obtain enough knowledge about what refined oil side effects are and which diseases might occur due to its regular use. 

 

Definition:

Refined oil is a processed, purified, filtered, and distilled form of the natural oil, which is acquired after treating the oil with several chemicals and preservatives like hexane. The manufacturers also hydrogenate these oils to enhance their shelf life. Through hydrogenation, the companies convert liquid unsaturated fat into a solid fat by putting hydrogen into it. During this process, excess trans-fat gets formed in the oil. 

This creating and refining process of the refined oils leads to rancid polyunsaturated fatty acids or PUFA formation, which is incapable to hold up high heat. The smell of these oils is so raw that the companies have to deodorize it by adding bleach. 

 

How has Refined oil Consumption drastically Increased?

In the past three decades, the intake of refined oils has increased at the expense of various other fats like butter. This accelerated use of refined oil is primarily due to low prices. These oils are a massive health concern for people due to the high intake of omega-six compounds. According to scientists, too much consumption of omega-six might lead to body inflammation and potentially contributes to various diseases.

 

List of Harmful Things Present in the Refined Oils

Below are the lists of some of the toxic things that are present in refined oil. 

  • Trans Fat

Trans fats are formed when the liquid oil gets hydrogenated at high temperatures. Hydrogenation makes the fat rancid and free-radical, which in turn promotes heart diseases and cancer. Trans fats are also associated with systemic inflammation and weight increase in women.

 

  • Additives and Preservatives

The extensive amount of additives and preservatives that are involved in refined oil processing is horrifying. The oils also contain emulsifiers, artificial flavors, synthetic vitamin forms, colors, and sodium. These substances present in the oil make them difficult to absorb by the human body.

 

  • Imbalance ratio of Omega 6 and Omega 3

Omega 6 and Omega 3 are significant fats necessary for brain development and health, hormone production, the health of the nervous system, skill and cellular health, and many more. However, you have to consume these fats in proper balance. The correct ratio of omega 3 and 6 are from 1:4 to 1:2. Unfortunately, the refined oils contain a ratio almost closer to 20:1. An excessive amount of omega-six intakes can cause various diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and more. 

 

Side Effects:

Now it is time to look into the detail of the refined cooking oil side effects

 

  • Refined oil can be Cancerous.

Nickel is one of the most vital chemicals implemented in natural oil processing. This metal is exceptionally harmful to health, and its presence in the cooking oil or food can produce a carcinogenic effect. It also causes adverse effects on the liver, skin, and even on the respiratory system. One of the primary reasons for cancer patient enhancement in tropical countries is refined oil use. 

 

  • Refined oils cause problems in the Digestive system.

Most manufacturing companies add a toxic chemical named sodium hydroxide during the refining process. This adulteration might affect the body’s digestive systems and cause immense trouble in the bowel system. The preservatives added to the oils during the refining process are unhealthy and can also cause various diseases like gastroenteritis, tumors, cysts, and ulcers.

 

  • Cardiac Diseases

Most people become cautious about the oil used for cooking and their diet whenever they face any cardiac problem. But can you control it unless you select the correct alternative of cooling oil? Well, this is also applicable if you are using refined oils for preparing your daily meals. The high temperatures applied during the refined oil processing remove all the valuable and natural elements from them. Instead, it enhances the amount of trans fat, which is exceptionally harmful to your health and heart. Continuous use of refined oils can act as a passive poison and cause various heart problems like a blockage in the valves or heart attack. 

 

  • Various Respiratory Diseases

The refined oil processing techniques include de-waxing, bleaching, degumming, deodorizing, and various other alkali or acidic treatments. These dangerous techniques decrease the chlorophyll content, smell, flavor, and various other nutrients present in the oil. It also impacts the increased level of oxidation and rancidity in edible oils. The extensive consumption of refined cooking oil has adverse side effects on lung health and makes it tougher to compensate in aging. The lungs’ alveoli slowly get rustier due to the chemicals present in the refined oil. You might experience breathing and many other difficulties due to the reduced blood circulation to the brain.

 

Conclusion

If you are still thinking, “is refined oil harmful to health?” then you should know that refined oils can cause other diseases apart from the primary ones mentioned above. It might include renal problems, premature aging, emphysema, hypoglycemia, diabetes, various allergies, ulcers, arthritis, and infertility. Thus most nutritionists and physicians recommend picking unrefined and natural cold-pressed oils, which are the best for everyone’s health.
