I eat low-carb and still eat plenty of veggies. Most oils are processed crap.
Well, this explains Soybois.
As I understand it, butter, even lard is better (less harmful) than soy or canola. (Do your own DD.)
Interestingly, the impact is likely greater on the vegetarian/vegan folks, who ironically insist that we omnivores follow their cultish lifestyle.
We are governed by elites that think "Dr.Strangelove" was a step forward in human existence. A business plan really.
Uh oh......bad news for the tofu crowd.
Sure, lets introduce massive amounts of estrogen into our food supply and turn all the little boys into middle of the road "its". Common sense? Time to start using it.
"Phytoestrogens are present in certain edible plants being most abundant in soy; they are structurally and functionally analogous to the estrogens. Phytoestrogens have been applied for compensation of hormone deficiency in the menopause. At the same time, soy products are used in infant food and other foodstuffs. Furthermore, soy is applied as animal fodder, so that residual phytoestrogens and their active metabolites such as equol can remain in meat and influence the hormonal balance of the consumers. There have been only singular reports on modified gender-related behavior or feminization in humans in consequence of soy consumption. In animals, the intake of phytoestrogens was reported to impact fertility, sexual development and behavior. Feminizing effects in humans can be subtle and identifiable only statistically in large populations.

Not to worry, more “research” will come out in a few years stating its healthy again.
Coffee and eggs have been going back and forth for decades.
Gotta keep that government research grant money coming in somehow!
While it is true most oils labled “vegetable oil” either are just soybean oil or contain a mix of soybean oil and/or corn oil and or canola oil.
But people who cook a lot at home can chose canola oil and olive oil and avoid the less healthy “vegetable oil”.
The caveat is when it comes to eating out and store bought foods, you can’t be sure which “vegetable” oil is used/included.
However, the level of soybean oil fed to the rats may have been extreme and not analogous to what most people consume in any manner.
Canola oil, soybean oil, and corn oil all have been demonized. I get that lard is now considered “safe”, then there’s peanut oil, avocado oil, and grapeseed oil, all of which are twice the price, or more, than vegetable oil. I buy olive oil for salads and some cooking, but there’s no guarantee it’s not adulterated with cheap vegetable oil, unless I buy the really pricy Italian brands, which I can’t afford.. I very occasionally buy peanut oil, but for $17 A gallon, it doesn’t go far for deep frying. So, I’ll stick to vegetable oil and hope there’s more cottonseed than soybean in it.
Two vegetarian friends of mine relied on seed oil for years, one took a vitamin supplement laced with soy for about 10 years, every day. They’ve got hypothyroidism now and have learned too late that many nutritionists and functional medicine practitioners consider soy a culprit in thyroid disease.
Not so long ago, experts told us to use vegetable oils for health.
We’ve gone to mostly beef tallow at my place. Olive oil in some instances.
Does this mean that I need to give up the tablespoon or two of Wesson oil I use when I fry potatoes and/or eggs for breakfast?
Animal fats. Bacon grease, lard, tallow, and high quality olive oil are all I use these days. Vegetable oils were originally industrial lubricants, not food. Men should avoid soy in any capacity.

Tens of millions of Chinese should be dying of cancer.
Vegetable oil isn’t something I want to consume regularly.
I prefer Peanut oil and Olive oil.
If a consumable doesn’t exist in nature, there’s a good chance the human body has problems using and digesting it.
Personally, I’m at about 11g per day, which is about 5% of calories. I have a large inventory in nuts, but have stopped frying eggs in sesame oil, reduced olive oil, and avoid a few other sources of LA.
