Seed Oils & Omegas: Good or Bad?Updated 5 hours ago

Understanding the Real Difference 🌱

There’s been a lot of debate online around seed oils—particularly when it comes to omega fatty acids and their impact on the body. It’s easy to see why people are confused.

So, let’s clear things up.

The truth is: seed oils themselves are not inherently toxic or unhealthy. What does matter is how the oils are sourced and processed.

Not All Seed Oils Are Created Equal

Many of the negative things you hear about seed oils refer to highly processed oils commonly found in packaged or fried foods. These oils are often:

• Made from low-quality or GMO seeds
• Extracted using chemical solvents
• Exposed to high heat and pressure, which damages their structure

Even though these oils may still contain omega-6 fatty acids like linoleic acid (LA), the processing methods degrade their quality, potentially leading to unwanted byproducts and oxidation.

So What Makes a “Good” Seed Oil?

When evaluating any seed oil, there are two key things to consider:

1. The Seed Quality

• Look for organic, non-GMO seeds
• Choose oils made from fresh, nutrient-rich sources

2. The Extraction Method

This is where things really matter.

Most commercial oils—even some labeled “cold-pressed”—can still undergo grinding and friction, generating heat that damages the oil.

What Makes our Perfect Press Different?

Perfect Press oils are made using a proprietary pressing technology that avoids heat and oxidation entirely. There’s:

• No grinding
• No friction
• No solvents or chemicals

This gentle process preserves the full integrity of the oil, keeping it nutrient-dense, unrefined, and stable—just as nature intended.

A Better Way to Get Your Omegas

When you consume organic, undamaged oils like Pumpkin Seed or Black Cumin Oil from Activation, you’re giving your body a clean source of healthy fats, including linoleic acid, in its most natural form.

These are not the same as the degraded seed oils often found in fast food or processed snacks.

Final Thoughts

Seed oils aren’t the problem—it’s the processing that makes the difference. When oils are carefully sourced and gently extracted, they can be a powerful part of a healthy lifestyle.
