What is Vegetable Oil?

Answer 1

Sources

Vegetable oil is often referred to as 'vegetable fat.' Also, it can derive from a wide variety of plants and trees, as there are only three forms of naturally occurring matter:

animal, VEGETABLE and mineral, so anything not animal or mineral IS vegetable! That includes Deadly Nightshade, Oleander, Rape Weed ('Canola'), Cottonseed (usually containing carcinogenic pesticides in the oil extracted from it) and many other inedible or downright poisonous plants. Not all vegetable sources are healthy for oil production. However, some governments, farmers and processors have turned a blind eye to this established fact, for the sake of sheer monetary gain, and put the onus on the consumer to decide.

Hydrogenation

As some oils have a very short shelf life, to make them more saleable, processors often partially 'Hydrogenate' them to extend their shelf life, and/or to thicken them. This process creates multiple carcinogenic compounds within the oil, which must take their toll on consumers' health (these are known as 'trans-fats'). Most processed foods contain hydrogenated oils (look for and avoid food additive numbers 471, 472a to 472e, and 479). Products containing these hydrogenated oils make up 80% or more of processed foods on supermarket shelves! For example, almost all breads and ice creams contain them!

Dangers of Blended Oils

Apart from oils derived from a single plant source, which in their most pure form are relatively expensive, oils are often blended to produce a cheaper cooking oil, and this oil is listed on food containers simply as 'vegetable oil' or 'blended vegetable oils.' To reduce the price of the blended oil, cheaper and more plentifully available oils, usually hydrogenated, make up the majority of the finished product. This means lower quality and significant impurities (often dangerous substances) remain in the oil.

How Is It Affecting Your Health?

'Pure' Cottonseed (not a food), 'Canola' (actually Rape Weed seed, or 'LEAR' oil, a light machinery oil for over 100 years), and blended oils containing these... This standard of oil is used by most food outlets, whether take-away or eat-in, since by its description it seems healthy and harmless compared to animal fats, and is well affordable in terms of cost (but not in terms of health). However, upon closer scrutiny, it is not a healthy alternative and is taking its toll in many ways on public health. Take a look at the overwhelming evidence to be found on the internet before you make your decision to disregard this advice.
