"We thought we were doing the right thing by just kind of swapping out the goodies that he loved... we would just buy like sugar free donuts." - Jessica Knurick

Jessica Knurick watched her grandfather face serious health problems in his early sixties. He worked retail, then came home to refurbish cars for extra money. No time to cook proper meals. When the health issues hit, her family scrambled to help. They bought sugar-free donuts, thinking they'd cracked the code. They hadn't. What the system failed to provide wasn't willpower advice. It was real education, combined with understanding the brutal math of time poverty. Working two jobs to survive doesn't leave room for meal prep and nutrition research. That experience sent Jessica into nutrition science, where she discovered something that could have helped him: most of what we're told about healthy eating is backwards.

Here's what actually matters. The seed oil panic dominating your social media feed? Not supported by science. Jessica doesn't just say there's no evidence they're harmful. She says there's evidence they're NOT harmful. The reason people feel better after "eliminating seed oils" has nothing to do with the oils themselves. When you stop eating seed oils, you stop eating the chips, crackers, and processed junk they come in. You accidentally start eating more whole foods. The oil was never the villain. The bigger picture: seventy percent of our food environment is ultra-processed garbage. Her grandfather needed systemic change, not sugar-free substitutes. This conversation will reshape how you think about nutrition advice, especially the viral kind that sounds urgent but misses the point entirely.
