Seed Oils Haram?
Yes, I personally believe they are haram because Seed oils contain PUFAs, when reactive oxygen species (ROS) interact with these, they extract hydrogen atoms from the double bonds, creating lipid radicals. These radicals then combine with oxygen molecules to produce peroxyl radicals, which can attack nearby lipids. This starts a chain reaction that produces more radicals and lipid hydroperoxides. The oxidation of LDL produces oxLDL, which is a key factor in the buildup of foam cells and atherosclerotic plaques (arterial plaque). There are also toxic byproducts like MDA and 4-HNE. Seed oils oxidize even at room temperature, and cooking speeds up the process alot, so getting oxLDL is inevitable when consuming seed oils. The evidence is rooted in simple biochemistry. This is the reason why heart disease is the leading cause of death world wide. Hope this helps.
