Salt
Neutral

Salt is used as a seasoning and preservative in many foods. It is a refined form of sodium chloride without additional trace minerals. While necessary for bodily functions, excessive intake can lead to health issues such as hypertension.

Risks

Excessive sodium intake can lead to high blood pressure and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Expeller Pressed Soybean Oil
Very Bad

Soybean oil is a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can promote inflammation when consumed in excess. The expeller pressing method is a mechanical extraction process that avoids chemical solvents, but the oil still retains a high omega-6 content. Compared to other oils, it lacks beneficial monounsaturated fats.

Risks

High omega-6 content may promote inflammation and contribute to an imbalanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratio in the diet.
