Adulteration in Oils: The Real Reason Indians Are Afraid of Fat

Are you also afraid of fat? or is it Adulteration in Oils creating problem ?

Most of us grew up hearing one constant warning — “fat kam karo, tel kam karo.”
But what if the real problem is not fat, but adulteration in oils?

Quick answer:
Adulteration in oils means mixing chemically treated or inferior substances into cooking oils, which destroys nutrition and leads to hormonal imbalance, brain health issues, poor immunity, and long-term lifestyle diseases.

This misunderstanding about fat has quietly become one of the biggest health crises in India.

Why Were We Taught to Fear Fat?

For decades, fat was wrongly blamed for:

Weight gain
Heart disease
Cholesterol issues

So people started:

Reducing oil drastically
Switching blindly to refined oils
Ignoring traditional fats

But today, one simple Google search — “importance of fats in diet” — tells a very different story.

Scientific Truth About Fats

Fats are essential for:

Hormone production
Brain development
Strong immunity
Vitamin absorption (A, D, E, K)

In fact, the human brain itself is nearly 60% fat.

So if fat is so important, where did things go wrong?

The Real Villain: Adulteration in Oils

The problem is not fat,
The problem is wrong fat.

More specifically:

Chemically treated refined oils
Oils processed at very high temperatures
Adulterated oils falsely sold as “pure” or “healthy”

These oils look clean, light, and attractive — but inside, they are nutritionally empty.

What Happens When Oils Are Adulterated?

Adulteration in oils leads to:

Destruction of natural fatty acids
Formation of harmful trans fats
Loss of antioxidants
Increased oxidative stress in the body

Result?

Side effects, not nutrition

How Adulterated Oils Affect Your Body

Brain Health

Unhealthy fats disrupt neural function and memory over time.

Hormonal Imbalance

Hormones are fat-based. Poor-quality oils directly affect:

Thyroid
PCOS / PCOD
Insulin resistance

Weak Immunity

Without healthy fats, your immune system loses its protective strength.

Heart Health

Ironically, adulterated oils increase inflammation — the real cause of heart disease.

Why “Refined” Does Not Mean Healthy

Many people assume:

“Refined oil = safe oil”

In reality:

Refining removes smell, color, and taste
Along with that, it removes nutrition
Chemical solvents are often used
Repeated heating damages fatty acid structure

So what remains is oil that:

Looks good
Stores well
But does nothing positive for your health

When Oil Is Pure, Health Improves Automatically

Here’s the simple rule:

When oil is shuddh, natural, and scientifically balanced — your body responds positively on its own.

Pure oils:

Support metabolism
Improve energy levels
Balance hormones
Reduce inflammation

No extreme dieting.
No fat phobia.
Just understanding fat correctly.

A Message for the New Generation

Fat is not your enemy.

But blind consumption of adulterated oils is.

Understanding fat:

Cannot happen in a 50-second reel
Needs awareness, reading, and conscious choices

Stop running away from fat.
Start asking where your fat is coming from.

How to Protect Yourself From Adulteration in Oils

✔ Choose traditionally extracted oils
✔ Avoid ultra-processed refined oils
✔ Read labels beyond marketing claims
✔ Prefer transparency over fancy packaging

Your oil decides:

Your hormones
Your brain health
Your immunity
Your future health

Final Thought

India doesn’t have a fat problem.
India has an adulteration problem.

And until we fix what goes into our kitchens, no diet plan can fix what happens to our bodies.
