Iron Sights #192 - Seed Oils: The Real Story – What’s Actually Worth Paying Attention To
Welcome back to another episode of the Iron Sights Podcast.
Today, I’m joined by the Red Dot Fitness crew — CeCe, Ryan, and Steven — and we’re diving into a topic that’s been stirring up the nutrition space for a while now: seed oils.
You’ve probably seen the arguments — some folks are planting flags hard on either side. Seed oils are either public enemy number one… or not worth worrying about at all. So what’s the real deal?
In this episode, we break down the noise, sift through the latest research, and share how our perspectives have shifted — or stayed the same. I’ve taken a strong stance on this before, and while I haven’t jumped ship completely, there is new info worth considering.
Enjoy the show!
