Does peanut oil cause chronic inflammation in humans to harm health? American Career Association reveals the truth about seed oil

I published my choice of cooking oil on 2019-1-28. Reader Arthur left a message today (2025-3-11):

Professor Ping An, I saw this report today. I went to the professor's website to search for "peanuts" and saw this article. Peanut oil is also commonly used in Taiwan families. Is eating peanuts really so scary? Thank you very much for your help.

The report sent by the readers was the day before (2025-3-10) published on "Sanli News Network" not all healthy! "This oil" is super toxic. Medical warning: It is fat and carcinogenic: "Doctor Xiao Jiejian said on his face that although the fruit is healthy, peanut oil does not contain omega-3, which is rich in omega-6, which causes chronic inflammation in the human body. Chronic inflammation can increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and other diseases, and endanger health."

First of all, I would like to see what I published on May 11, 2020, eat more omega-3 and less omega-6? :《The saying “omega-3 can resist inflammation, and omega-6 can promote inflammation” is not a common understanding in the medical community. In fact, Omega-3 and Omega-6 are both "essential fatty acids", which means that they are all humans cannot synthesize themselves, so they must be taken from food. '

Again, what doctors in Qijiejian said, "Peanut oil causes chronic inflammation in humans, and chronic inflammation can increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and other diseases and endanger health." In fact, it comes from a widely spread online saying, not a scientific fact.

For this reason, a Cliffland clinic with a high reputation (2025-3-3) just published Seed Oils: Are They Actually Toxic? "Have you heard the term "toxic" of seed oil? Some social media users blame them for all the problems such as acne, weight gain, cancer and infertility. But as usual, it's true compared to TikTok The reveal is much more subtle. ”

This article also states that all seed oils contain a small amount of Omega-3 and a relatively large amount of Omega-6. In other words, according to the doctor of Viagra, in addition to peanut oil, rapeseed oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, red flower oil, grape seed oil, and rice bran oil, are also "super toxic".

In fact, two other well-known medical institutions/organizers have published articles that denounced this online remark.

2024-8-20: The American Care Association published There’s no reason to avoid seed oils and plenty of reasons to eat them: "See TikTok, YouTube, or any podcast said that seed oil is poisoning us. But is it really that true? The misleading allegation that seed oil is rich in Omega-6 Fatty acids, which break down into toxins, cause inflammation, weaken the immune system and lead to chronic diseases. Although seed oil does contain high levels of omega-6 fatty acids, this is not a bad thing. Omega-6 is a polymorphic and fat that the human body needs but cannot produce on its own, so it must be obtained from food. Polymorphic and fat helps the human body reduces the risk of heart disease and medium. The American Care Association supports Omega-6 Fatty acids are included in part of a healthy diet."

2024-10-16: Massachusetts General Hospital published Seed Oils: Facts & Myths (seed oil: facts and words): "seed oil has become a hot topic in social media, often raising debates about whether it is healthy or "toxic." Many health influencers (Health influencer) believe that the production method of seed oil and the high omega-6 fatty acid components are the culprits in a range of health problems, from brain fog to chronic inflammation and obesity. But many nutrition experts and scientific research advocate that diets contain seed oil, which is health-healthy for diets without fat and fat. 』

In fact, as early as six years ago (2019-8-20), Harvard University published No need to avoid healthy omega-6 fats: "Some people say we should reduce the intake of omega-6 to improve omega-3 and omega-6 The U.S. Career Association claims that this pure nonsense is said. In a scientific inquiry report that only completed two years ago, nine independent researchers from all over the country, including three from Harvard University, said the data from dozens of studies support the benefit of omega-6 fat in the cardiovascular system. One of the authors, Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, an assistant professor at Harvard University, said that Omega-6 fat is not only safe, but also beneficial for heart and blood circulation.. ”

The Scientific Advice Report mentioned in this paragraph is the Omega-6 fatty acids and cardiovascular disease risks published on 2009-1-28: The American Career Association supports omega-6 intake to occupy at least 5% to 10% of energy. Reduce omega-6 intake is more likely to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease rather than decrease it.

So, if reader Arthur finds on my website that you eat more omega-3 and less omega-6? , it should not be scared by doctors of Jijie.
