Episode notes
Seed Oils Entered Food Supply Without Testing
- Industrial seed oils (vegetable oils/PUFAs) entered the food supply without long-term human safety testing.
- Ben Azadi links them to inflammation, insulin resistance, obesity, fatty liver, gut damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction.
Why Seed Oils Become Toxic
- Polyunsaturated fats have many double bonds which make them unstable and prone to oxidation during processing.
- Processing (heat, hexane, deodorizing) creates toxic compounds like 4‑HNE, acrolein, aldehydes, and lipid peroxides that damage cells.
Fried Foods Produce Cigarette‑Level Aldehydes
- Oxidized seed oils produce aldehydes and other toxins that harm mitochondria, gut lining, and hormones.
- Dr. Martin Grutfeld's study showed fries cooked in seed oils produce aldehydes equivalent to smoking the same number of cigarettes.
