The Most Harmful Ingredient for Your Liver (And the Clean Oil I Use Instead)

Ditch the fake oils hiding in “healthy” foods—and upgrade to the olive oil I actually trust.

If you saw my Instagram Reel, you know I’m not exaggerating when I say seed oils are the most harmful ingredient for your liver—and sadly, they’re everywhere.

Here’s why this matters:

• Canola, sunflower, vegetable, and grapeseed oils are highly processed and often stored in clear plastic containers, making them prone to oxidation, which promotes inflammation and liver damage.

• These oils are sky-high in omega-6s, which throw off your body’s fatty acid balance and fuel chronic disease.

• One study even linked PAHs (found in grapeseed oil) to cancer in animals. 😳

Where are these oils hiding?

• SkinnyPop (sunflower oil)

• Oatly & Cheez-Its (vegetable oils)

• Hellmann’s mayo & “olive oil” sprays (canola oil)

• Earth Balance butter, Oro Wheat bread, Kind granola, Jif peanut butter… the list goes on.

So what do I use instead?

My go-to: PaleoValley Extra Virgin Olive Oil

This is hands-down the cleanest oil I’ve found:

✅ 100% organic
✅ Cold-pressed
✅ Stored in dark glass (protects those antioxidants)
✅ High in polyphenols—which actually fight inflammation
