The Science of Vegetable Oil Processing
Yes, linoleic acid (a key fat in vegetable oils) is more prone to oxidation. But here’s the good news: in everyday human diets, this doesn’t translate to increased disease risk! Our bodies are far more complex than lab settings, and factors like vitamin E intake play a huge role in preventing oxidation.
But what about hexane? The provisional chronic reference dose of hexane is 0.06 milligrams per kilogram bodyweight per day—so, a 70-kg person (154 pounds) would have to consume over 11 liters of this highest-hexane-detected vegetable oil every day to ingest enough hexane to worry!
The takeaway? Vegetable oils are safe to use in cooking and can be part of a healthy, nutrient-dense diet.
