Polyunsaturated OilsPolyunsaturated Oils.....What makes vegetable oils potentially harmful to our bodies is the unsaturation. They are highly vulnerable to oxidation and free-radical formation because of the double-carbon bonds in the molecule. These
polyunsaturated oils
become toxic when they become oxidized as the result of exposure to light (sunlight or artificial), heat or oxygen. This causes the oil to become rancid and form free radicals. Free radicals deplete our antioxidant reserves. Free radicals cause chemical reactions that damage our tissues and cells. A rancid vegetable oil may not have its taste or smell affected. So a vegetable oil that appears sweet and pure may actually be toxic. All vegetable oil should be sealed in an airtight, opaque container and stored in the refrigerator, which will slow down free radical generation.
