3. Some Cooking Oils
Many common cooking oils contain a type of fat called omega-6 fatty acids . Omega-6 fats aren't necessarily bad — your body uses them for energy and normal growth.
But your omega-6 fats need to be in a careful balance with omega-3 fats that you can get from foods like salmon, mackerel, and flaxseed. If you eat too much omega-6 fat, it can throw off this balance, which triggers inflammation.
Some common cooking oils that contain omega-6 fats include:
- Corn oil.
- Canola oil.
- Sunflower oil.
- Safflower oil.
- Peanut oil.
