It is almost a dogma on social media that vegetable oils are iNfLaMmAtOrY aNd ToXiC. However, this is a dogma that has been tested many times and consistently shown not to be true. But what about hexane? Does hexane in vegetable oils pose some kind of health risk?

Key facts:

1. You would need to drink more than 100 swimming pools worth of vegetable oils in one sitting to have a 50% chance of dying from the hexane;

2. Hexane in food accounts for only about 2% of total daily exposure to hexane, making vegetable oils the least of our worries.

Next time, ask whether it is toxic to drive.
