Wells, May 16 2014 (NaturalNews) Vegetable oil sounds harmless. You would think that oil coming right from pressed seeds of this earth would be healthy, but in this modern day of hyper-processing and genetic modification, this couldn't be further from the truth. So what's the deal with cottonseed oil, other than that which comes from industrial waste produced during cottonseed processing? Could the same be said for canola, soybean, sunflower and safflower oils? The mainstream understanding is dark and clouded, but...
