Discover Why Refined Oils Are Bad For You
At WellBe we don’t use refined palm oil, palmolein oil, hydrogenated fat and interesterified fat, often used to make savoury snacks, cakes and more.
Studies have documented that consumption of refined oil can have adverse effects of heart health.
The process of making and refining these types of oils, which involves the use of heat and chemicals, leads to the formation of PUFAs (rancid polyunsaturated fatty acids) which DO NOT hold up well to high heat.
In the process of being extracted from the seed, these oils oxidise and turn into trans fats, which when consumed, raise the bad cholesterol in our body. The smell is so rancid the cleaning process undertaken uses bleach to deodorize it. The entire process of refining leads to severe nutritional loss in the oil.

Studies have suggested that long-term intake of synthetic antioxidants could lead to some health issues such as skin allergies, gastrointestinal tract problems and in some cases increased risk of cancer.

Artificial flavours are synthesized chemicals (made in a lab) that interact with each other to create a flavour, usually based on one found in nature.
