Navigating Dietary Fats: Seed Oils vs Saturated Fats
This chapter explores the complexities surrounding dietary fats, specifically contrasting seed oils with saturated fats found in processed foods. It examines the health implications of these fats, critiques past research, and considers individual dietary choices in the context of overall diet quality.
Are seed oils actually harmful? Or is this just another wellness myth gone viral?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Bill Harris - leading expert on dietary fats - to unpack the science on linoleic acid, an omega-6 fat found in nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils.
We explore the rise of seed oil fear-mongering, the truth about inflammation, cholesterol, oxidation, and why outcome data—not mechanisms—should guide our thinking.
If you’ve been confused by the seed oil debate, this one’s for you.
