A more fitting name would be industrial processed seed oil sludge. In the early 1900s, an evil genius at Procter and Gamble came up with the idea to use cotton seeds — a toxic waste product — and turn them into a cooking oil. What had originally been used for candle and soap was later discovered it could be used to hydrogenate the oil into a solid that resembled animal fats. Behold…the birth of Crisco. This means that vegetable oils are actually made from seeds, not vegetables.

Vegetable Oil Consumption is On The Rise In 1900 heart disease was rare. By 1950 it was killing more men than any other disease. Ancel Keys brainwashed us into believe saturated fats caused the crisis. But it was later revealed that shoddy statistics and corruption biased his conclusion. However, if you look at the backdrop before the heart health epidemic, you cannot ignore the rise of vegetable oils as a dietary staple. This was led by the efforts of Procter & Gamble and their new creation, Crisco, the first shortening to be made entirely of vegetable oil. Starting in 1911, crisco was adeptly marketed by Procter & Gamble as a more versatile butter. It could be used for frying, baking and cooking. It could be stored at room temperature. They even claimed it was easier to digest and healthier too. Vegetable oil consumption went from 11 pounds per person per year to 59.
