We believe in honesty at My Meals.

And the honest truth is this:

Seed oils are harming people’s health every day — and nobody’s talking about it.

They’re hidden everywhere — in supermarket meals, “healthy” snacks, restaurant foods, and even aged care and disability support meals.

We’re talking about oils like:

• Canola oil

• Soybean oil

• Corn oil

• Cottonseed oil

• Sunflower oil

For decades, these oils were marketed as “heart healthy.”

But modern research paints a very different picture.

What the Science Says

🔵 A 2021 study published in Nature found that a high intake of linoleic acid (the primary fat in seed oils) accelerates cancer metastasis — the spread of cancer cells.

🔵 Research from Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids showed that heating and processing seed oils generates toxic aldehydes — chemicals linked to DNA damage, cancer, dementia, and heart disease.

🔵 Experts like Dr. Cate Shanahan and Dr. Paul Saladino describe seed oils as “the single worst modern ingredient” contributing to chronic inflammation and disease.

Inflammation is the real silent killer.

And seed oils feed it.

Why We Ban Seed Oils at My Meals

At My Meals, we refuse to cut corners with cheap, inflammatory oils.

You will NEVER find canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, or sunflower oil in our meals.

Instead, we use:

✅ Olive oil

✅ Butter

✅ Coconut oil (where suitable)

✅ Natural, stable fats that support healing — not disease

We craft every meal to fight inflammation, not fuel it.

Because when you understand what seed oils really do to the body, there’s no excuse for using them — ever.

Why It Matters for Disability and Aged Care Clients

Participants living with disabilities or seniors navigating aging deserve better.

They are often more vulnerable to the damaging effects of inflammation:

• Slower healing

• Brain fog

• Energy crashes

• Worsening chronic conditions

Better nutrition isn’t just about calories — it’s about the source of those calories.

At My Meals, we choose ingredients that protect and nurture the body — always.

Because every meal should be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Every bite matters.

And every body deserves real food. 🌱
