Wink could be the processing

Corn oil and other cheap, mass made cooking oils are processed with some things that are really terrible for us, not to mention carcinogenic.
After I found this out, I dumped them all out and for years now have only used cold first press olive oil and other oils like grape seed or canola that do not go through the "bad" processing. Costs a little more, but the food tastes better and I know it IS better for me. That knowledge alone is worth the few cents extra.

(I also try to buy only organic oils.)

The high-fructose corn syrup referenced above is also an additive that can contribute to a body's fat content. We all KNOW this is bad for cancer patients!
