There is a lot of conflicting advice in the nutrition space. For years, foods like eggs, coconut oil, and beef have long been both villainized and championed. And another controversial food, especially in recent years, is the category of processed seed oils like canola oil and soybean oil. On today’s show, you’re going to learn the dark truth about seed oils with Dr. Cate Shanahan. Dr. Cate Shanahan is a family physician, New York Times bestselling author, and the mother of the No Seed Oil movement. Today, she’s back on The Model Health Show for a thought-provoking discussion on the dangers of processed seed oils. You’re going to learn about the history of these fats, how they became deeply engrained in our food supply, their connection with modern diseases, and much more. You’re going to learn exactly why these oils are so dangerous, and we’re going to dive into some of the common deflection points and studies that promote seed oils – and what they’re overlooking. There’s truly no one else on the planet who has more knowledge and experience with this subject matter. I hope you enjoy this interview with Dr. Cate Shanahan!
