Industrial seed oils aren’t food. They’re the end product of a chemical process designed for shelf life, not human life. And if you think mitochondrial function can be reduced to LDL levels and calorie math, you’re not doing science—you’re defending a failed paradigm.When industrial seed oils are extracted (high heat, hexane solvents, bleaching, deodorizing), the LA molecules undergo autoxidation, creating highly reactive aldehydes and lipid peroxides before you ever consume them.
