10 Foods That Cause Mucus
Mucus Causing Food #3: Refined Oil
Refined oils can be made through several processes (or a combination) such as degumming, distilling, neutralization, dewaxing, deodorizing, bleaching, or the addition of preservatives. Most cooking oils available commercially are refined to achieve a uniformed appearance, smell, and taste along with a longer shelf life.
If possible, choose unrefined oils, which are easily available at most health food markets. Unrefined oils are often those labeled as virgin, raw, or pure oils. Refined oils such as sunflower oil, canola oil, corn oil, and safflower oil may increase mucus production.
