Seed Oils - The REAL Science with Dr. Cate Shanahan

⚡️Why seed oils are destroying your health - and what to eat instead.

💬 “ Seed oils are the root cause of literally every chronic disease.” ~Cate Shanahan

➡︎ Seed oils are absolutely everywhere in our diets - whether it’s canola oil, soybean, sunflower of corn, this cheap and nasty stuff fills so much of the packaged food we pick up from the supermarket. But it’s no coincidence that the rise in seed oil consumption is coupled with a massive spike in chronic diseases worldwide.

➡︎ Dr Cate Shanahan is the author of one of the most impactful books in the health and longevity space, Dark Calories. Known as “The Mother of the No Seed Oil Movement”, she’s dedicated 20 years of her life to uncovering the true harms that seed oils have on our bodies - from causing chronic inflammation to promoting weight gain, skin issues and even cancer.

➡︎ In this episode, Cate and Tim discuss the real science behind seed oils, and how they promote oxidation and inflammation, wreaking havoc on our health. They deconstruct the big lie sold to us by mainstream media and health authorities that seed oils are “heart healthy”. They explain the shocking fact that a single serving of french fries cooked in seed oils is just as toxic as smoking 24 cigarettes. And they dig into Cate’s “Hateful 8” seed oils - what to avoid and what to eat instead.
