Story at-a-glance
- Omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) are unstable and easily damaged during processing and refining, so that in the bottle they contain toxic breakdown products; when these oils are heated they degrade further, generating additional toxins
- Eating refined, high-PUFA vegetable oils is also harmful because the refining removes most of the antioxidants, so that the nondegraded omega-3 and omega-6 are more prone to breaking down in your body
- When the PUFAs degrade inside your body, they form dangerous high-energy molecules called free radicals that damage everything they contact, including your enzymes, cell membranes and even DNA
