Seed Oils

This episode critically examines the widespread digital misinformation surrounding seed oils, such as canola and soybean oil, and contrasts these claims with established scientific evidence. It highlights how online narratives often portray seed oils as harmful, linking them to various health issues like inflammation and metabolic diseases, despite a lack of empirical support. The episode emphasizes the scientific consensus, articulated by major health organizations, which indicates that the polyunsaturated fats in seed oils actually offer cardiovascular and metabolic benefits when replacing saturated fats. Ultimately, the episode attributes the persistence of anti-seed oil rhetoric to digital sensationalism, profit-driven agendas, and the exploitation of public confusion rather than legitimate scientific controversy.
