The whole process yields more oil from the seeds and is faster than cold pressing.
Correct. I'm not sure about the rest, but cold pressed sunflower oil (aka шарлан) is healthy. Olive oil is always cold pressed. Both are great. The reason seed oils get thrashed is because most of the time the highly processed is the one that dominates the market. One has too seek out cold pressed oil specifically and pay extra for it and 99% don't do that.
It's the other way around. Too much sugar spikes insulin, promotes systematic inflammation and makes people dumb through insulin resistency which is accompanied with brain fog. People in the modern world eat tons more sugar than before and get most of their calories from simple carbs. Our body is not equipped for that and we get sick.
How could you even think there's anti-sugar propaganda when all the junk food made by the megacorporations is mostly sugar? The last time I checked people running the propaganda were the people at the top of the chain who control the markets.
That's exactly what happens - the coating flakes little by little and you ingest it. And because it's inert it doesn't get metabolized in the body and accumulates like all other plastics.
Single use plastic containers and coatings (like the coatings of food boxes, cans, cartons and coffee cups) are not made of high-grade plastics. It gets worse when they are in contact with hot and oily food or drink (never microwave plastic). BPA is still ubiquitous in plastic bottles, container coatings and cash slips which use thermal paper. It's also found in hygiene and cosmetic products. Which brings me to the next point - there are other ways one accumulates toxic compounds beside ingestion including skin contact and breathing.
BPA and phthalates fuck with your endocrine system and leads to infertility. This is where I put my tin foil hat on and say they knew plastics do that and started pushing them from the 60s onward as part of the depop agenda.
As mentioned, plastic use ramped up since the 60s but it wasn't ubiqtious until the 80s and 90s (https://journals.openedition.org/factsreports/docannexe/image/5071/img-2-small580.png). This means the first generation that suffer consequences are the millennials. Millennials' fertility is abysmal and it's not just the anti-natal propaganda but legitimate physiological problems.
Now I'm not saying it's just plastics and seed oils to blame for that, but they are a part of the toxic environment this generation (and the ones after it) have been raised in. It's a systematic attack - seed oils, soy, vaccines, lack of exercise, stress, nutrient deficient diet, too much carbs and sugars, toxic chemicals and plastics in the air, soil and water, EMR, etc. No one can fully escape it but you can do as much as it's in your power.
It was never fine as I pointed out. Your ancestors didn't eat that shit or handled plastics for thousands of years. No one was exposed to this even 100 years ago. This is an experiment and we're living it. I write this because I think you're reasonable and aware of many things and it may get you to research the topic more thoroughly.
You will find sweeteners in nearly all corporation food. It is not easy to find a soda can without sweetener. Also, AFAIK industry use mostly high-fructose corn syrup as "sugar".
As for anti-sugar propaganda, it targets mostly alt communities, like vegans, natural food eaters and so on, average customer already buy products with lowered glucose content.
As for insulin connected disfunctions - it is in no way sugar fault. Insuline system in humans can't be damaged by product it is designed to process. It damaged by other stuff either from aside, either by processing things it is not designed for, like high-fructose natural sugar replacements.
As I wrote multiple times, without any result, however, fructose rich things are harmful for humans. Not only because of lower glucose content, and so lower energy available to the brain, but also because it kickstart rudimentary hibernation mechanisms in human body with all consequences.
The goal of anti-sugar propaganda among alt communities, is to lower glucose consumption. They already did that with average customer, but there still noticeable amount of people that still get enough glucose for normal brain activity.
Technically, you can't make thin film from low-grade plastic. It is opposite, really, you need higher-grade plastic to make cheaper thinwall containers or coatings. That is why plastic bag last longer in nature than some thick solid, say hanger hook made from same PE. When you pressure cast some thick plastic thing, you could use much weaker and cheaper plastic to make a firm enough thing, unlike when you need to make an endless, defect-free film.
BPA is used for making polycarbonate, polyvinylchloride and epoxy, and I can't remember I ever met plastic packing for food made from PC, PVC or epoxy based plastics. IDK, may be that's some local phenomenon, but I don't remember PC/PVC/epoxy food packing in EU either.
PE, PET and PETG, as PS, not even talking about PP, PTFE, PU and PLA don't need BPA for manufacturing, and in most cases it will fuck the process. Meanwhile that is why PC or PVC in plastic garbage could make it reprocessing impossible.
Epoxy is important plastic, but it is hard to imagine it in anything that have relation to the food.
PS and ABS have stirol/styrene that is not very healthy, but it is not BPA.
It's just chemistry, you can't make PET bottle, or PE coated paper cup if there is some BPA added in process.
All in all probability to meet BPA in food packaging is close to zero.
So why that BPA-in-food hype is over all google? It is suspicious at least.
They used lead pipes and a lot of other shit. Plastic in nowhere near heavy metals and stuff in harm.
Just write "microplastics is harmful" in google and you will get tons of articles of how microplastics a severe threat to humanity. Change that to "vaccines is harmful" and you will not find any relevant article, in the best case you will find something about "minor side effects".
Guess why is that?
Yeah, they did a poor job of it then. High fructose corn syrup is 50% glucose. People eat carbs that get metabolized to glucose and drink sugar in excess. There's little difference between eating doughy foods and eating plain sugar because starch gets metabolized by the enzymes of your saliva almost instantaneously. So the last thing you should worry about is people not getting enough glucose.
If you're going to advocate for any kind of sugar it should be honey or fruit derived sugar which is fructose - this is the sugar our ancestors ate and they did it in moderation. Refined sugar is a industrial era invention.
It's not real competition. Do you realize the same corporations run both industries so that they can't loose? It's the same with the "anti-tabbacco propaganda" or the "green energy propaganda" ran by the very corporations that provide the "healthy" alternative. I thought this method of market control is well understood by people here since everyone knows how fake and gay political rivalries are and that Blackrock and Vanguard have majority shares in every industry.
Not to mention the whole "they don't want you eating sugar" makes no sense and you have to drum up ridiculous narratives about how lack of carbs makes weak and your brain not working properly. This is just dietary ignorance because fats and proteins get metabolized into a source of energy and can fully substitute carbs (not the other way around). If your theory were true, people on keto diets would be in a really rough state and borderline retarded and the opposite is observed.
So because they spin false narratives about vaccines then everything must be false? That's a non sequitur and the red-pilled rookie fallacy - "everything is fake, dude, it's all lies upon lies" (not calling you one btw). Try that with anything you truly believe to be harmful like excessive drinking or smoking. Well the "experts" on google say it's harmful so what now?
The thing they do is they will spin plastics as a climate change and environmental hazard first ("Guys, it's hurting mommy Erf and the polar bears") and the harm it causes to humans, especially in terms of fertility, goes in the background. This is also a common propaganda technique.
PS: Here's the truth about the fat wars and the war on meat and animal products in general: https://x.com/fightwithmemes/status/1868183961714770368/photo/1
And talking about real scams and propaganda, who could forget the infamous food pyramid: https://wearechief.com/blogs/articles/the-corrupt-history-of-the-food-pyramid?srsltid=AfmBOooU7uQu0ukmIp34766wedWc0yXDs-embQCad-IJHpBURthRv_Oy How can you still claim they want to reduce carbs in the diet when they created that unscientific monstrosity and brainwashed people into thinking this is healthy in any way.
I think that the corporate fast food chains in America and maybe elsewhere kept trying to find cheaper and cheaper oils to fry the food in regardless of whether or not it was healthy. Much of the poisonous oils used for cooking are probably more a modern phenomenon with the corporate greed and incentive for high volume food preparation for low income prices.
Exactly. Back in the day McDonald fries were fried in tallow. That makes all the difference between junk food and a healthy snack. Boomers who remember say they tasted much better too. WWII shortages and development of the chemical industry were the reasons why seed and vegetable oils took over animal fats which have always been the staple fat source prior to the 20th century.
Animal fats were always superior and only brainwashed normies could think otherwise. Imagine the level of delusion someone has to be in to believe margarine is better for your health than butter because some Tavistock affiliated institute told them so in a magazine. That's what happens when people are not grounded in tradition and history.
I was brainwashed by the George Foreman grill. Suddenly the greasy fat was BAD for you and you had to try to drain it out and throw it away. 90s propaganda.
I was a 90's kid and I remember my parents buying into the margarine craze. They still got a grill like that and think pork and beef consumption can lead to heart disease and I'm from an Eastern bloc country. Isn't it funny how the propaganda transcends all borders and cultures? It's almost as if that's the main feature of the global free market. Media and products are what's driving change in culture and behavior. Whoever controls the markets controls everything. This is where libertarian and ancap brains melt.
