America's relationship with food is changing.

Fruit Juice: When Healthy Fruit Becomes a Sugary Drink
Fruit juice may come from fruit, but it is not nutritionally equivalent to eating whole fruit. Juicing removes most of the fiber, concentrates the naturally occurring sugars, and makes it easy to consume the sugar from several servings in a single glass. Even 100% juice can contain as much sugar as soda. Learn how fruit juice is processed, why it affects your body differently than whole fruit, and what healthier beverage choices to consider.

Fake Food Series: 🌾 How Oatly Turned Oat Water into a Global Phenomenon

Sunflower Oil: One of the Better Seed Oils, But Still Not the Best Choice
Sunflower oil is not all the same. Traditional high-linoleic varieties are rich in fragile Omega-6 fats, while high-oleic varieties are more stable. Cold-pressed, high-oleic sunflower oil retains more natural nutrients and resists oxidation better than refined versions. Although it is one of the better seed oils, naturally stable fats like olive oil, avocado oil, butter, ghee, and tallow remain the preferred choice.

Canola: How Did An Engine Lubricant Become An Industrial "Food"?
Canola oil is an aggressively marketed Canadian industrial cooking oil developed by selectively breeding rapeseed to reduce its erucic acid content. Today, most commercial canola is genetically engineered and extensively refined using solvent extraction, bleaching, deodorization, and high-temperature processing. Its extensive industrial processing, susceptibility to oxidation, high omega-6 content, and pro-inflammatory nature are compelling reasons to avoid it altogether.
