Saturated fats are stable molecules and are protective. Unsaturated fats are unstable and can cause a lot of damage when consumed in excess
Vegetable oils, high in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), can disrupt your metabolic rate, increase gut permeability and induce gut dysbiosis and inflammation. High PUFA intake also shifts your gut microbiome, which can affect your overall health
High PUFA intake can also have a detrimental impact on your thyroid and metabolic health by affecting cells’ use of thyroid hormones
For optimal health, eat real, whole foods, and prioritize animal fats that are rich in stable, protective saturated fats
