Is vegetable oil necessarily healthy? Be careful, this vegetable oil will increase the risk of heart disease and damage the liver.
Friends who care about health know that vegetable oil is recommended to replace animal fat, because vegetable oil contains unsaturated fatty acids, which helps to prevent hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia.

Many friends think that I am healthy as long as I eat vegetable oil?

Actually, it's not. At least two points should be noted.

1, vegetable oil intake should also be controlled.

Vegetable oil is also oil, and it should be controlled below 25 grams per day.

2. Some vegetable oils may be unhealthy.

For example, "rapeseed oil" is not suitable for everyone to eat, and it will increase the risk of coronary heart disease and may also damage the liver and kidney.

Rapeseed oil, as its name implies, is the oil squeezed from rapeseed and a kind of vegetable oil.

Then why does rapeseed oil increase the risk of coronary heart disease and harm liver and kidney?

Mainly because rapeseed oil contains glucosinolates and erucic acid.

These two substances not only make rapeseed oil have a pungent smell, but also erucic acid is a bad fatty acid, which may increase the risk of heart disease if eaten in large quantities for a long time.

Other studies have also found that high erucic rapeseed oil leads to the accumulation of fat and oxygen free radicals in rat liver, which may lead to a series of metabolic diseases.

Glucosinolates, also known as glucosinolates or glucosinolates, are also harmful to health. The substances produced after decomposition may cause swelling of animal liver and kidney, and in severe cases may lead to liver hemorrhage and liver necrosis.

Although the above statement is the result of animal experiments, whether it has an impact on human beings is still under in-depth study. But as ordinary consumers, it is best to proceed from caution, especially middle-aged and elderly people.

Of course, it's okay to eat a bucket of rapeseed oil once in a while. Even if there is no problem with rapeseed oil, from the perspective of comprehensive health and nutrition, it is recommended that everyone take turns to eat a variety of oils every day.
