Seed Oils
- Sunflower Oil
Refined oils high in omega-6 linoleic acid. Controlled trials show oils rich in linoleic acid lower LDL cholesterol compared with saturated fat, and heart health bodies support their use. The concern raised in popular coverage is about the omega-6 to omega-3 balance of the wider diet, and about oxidation products when these oils are repeatedly heated.
American Heart Association advisory, Circulation (2017)
Emulsifiers & Thickeners
- Cellulose Gel And Gum
Also called carboxymethylcellulose, a thickener. A randomised controlled feeding trial in healthy adults found it altered gut bacteria and reduced the protective mucus layer of the gut. The trial was small and short.
Chassaing et al., Gastroenterology (2022) - Carrageenan
A seaweed extract used to stop drinks separating. Animal and cell studies report inflammation and irritation of the gut lining. Human evidence at the levels used in food is limited, and regulators currently consider it safe.
