Summary:
Corn oil has anti-inflammatory properties. This is generally good, and is something that can help protect your body from diseases like diabetes, heart disease and possibly cancer. That’s because corn oil is full of a plant based compound called phytosterols. However more research needs to be done on this particular topic. The anti-inflammatory properties of corn oil can also help to relieve symptoms of arthritis, headaches and even some stomach issues. Keep in mind, if you’re using the refined type of oil, these benefits can be outweighed by some negative aspects, so you’ll want to use that one sparingly to achieve any of the health benefits we just mentioned.
It can improve the health of your vision. Lutein is something that can only be synthesized by plants, and when ingested it can possible reduce the free radicals in your body. Lutein can help protect your vision and possibly reduce the risk of cataracts forming.
It can be good for your skin. Like we mentioned earlier corn oil is sometimes used in the massage profession. If you’re ingesting it, or rubbing it on your skin CLINICAL SCIENCE says that the antioxidants and tocopherols can help reduce the likelihood of skin infections, inflammation, irritation and blemishes. However, this oil is high in fat, so you should use small amounts if you decided to add it to your skincare routine.
It can possibly lower your risk of heart disease. Linoleic acid, vitamin E and those phytosterols we mentioned earlier area all good, heart healthy things. We could continue with more heart healthy facts, but we figured you should know that the many studies that showed these types of results were often paid for by the company that owns and manufactures corn oil.
Those are some great benefits, but like we mentioned at the beginning of this video, you can’t have the good without the bad. Here are some of the negative aspects of using corn oil.
Weight Gain. It’s easy to use lots of oil when cooking. Because corn oil can withstand a lot of heat, it’s often used when deep frying food. That means the food is basically dunked in this very fatty oil, which means the calories of whatever your eating when cooked this way will probably have gone way, way up. If you have a diet that uses a lot of corn oil, chances are you’re consuming extra calories at every meal, that you may not be aware of.
They Deal with Omega 6 fats. Omega 6 fats can be good for you, if ingested in small amounts. According to healthline you should always balance out your omega 6 fatty acid with omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 6 fats promote inflammation, which in very small amounts is good for your body and helps protect it from disease. If you’re a regular here at Bestie, you probably already know that too much inflammation can increase your risk of a number of different diseases including but not limited to: cancer, heart disease, obesity and alzheimers.
Most corn oil is made from GMO corn. New research is being discovered every day about whether or not genetically modified (GMO) foods are good for the population in general. While most food is deemed safe, using GMO corn has only been around for the last 20 years or so, so the long term effects are not readily available. On top of that, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, GMO corn is often subjected to pesticides like glyphosate. In 2015 the World Health Organization deemed this particular pesticide a probable carcinogen.
Corn oil is highly refined. As we mentioned at the beginning of this video, when something is highly refined it has to go through a long process before it can be safe to eat. When corn oil goes through this process it’s compounds can become oxidized and increase your risk of disease.
