Suspicion of Seed Oils
Thanks to various fearmongers, fitness bro’s, pseudo-experts and quack doctors, there now seems to lurk a deep suspicion about “seed oils”. Seed oils are being blamed on everything…. (hand waving, angry faces and quoting various sketchy websites ensues) from inflammation to diabetes and from obesity to joint pain— and yet there is little or no research that would explain or support these views.
So, what’s the truth? This podcast from Science VS “Seed Oils: Is Your Canola Oil Killing You” is a good place to start separating the science from the supposed satanism of seed oils.
Here are some other resources on the subject of seed oils:
