These are exposed to a solvent called ‘hexane’, which is found in gasoline. Some common seed oils are soybean oil, canola oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil.

Dr. Eric says that these oils penetrate deep into your fat cells and liver and remain there for years, which increases the risk of fatty liver. Be it fried food in restaurants or your chips, snacks, protein bars and mayonnaise, they are present in almost everything.
