Part 197 - Chris Knobbe, MD on Why Seed Oils are The Single Most Harmful Ingredient in the Human Diet
Peak Human - Unbiased Nutrition Info for Optimum Health, Fitness & Living
Embrace Natural Fats Over Seed Oils
The high omega-6 linoleic acid content in seed oils, like canola and soybean, significantly contrasts with the much lower levels found in natural animal fats. Canola oil contains about 20% omega-6, while soybean oil has about 54-56%. In comparison, 100% grass-fed beef has only 2-2.5% omega-6, with CAFO-raised beef at 3-3.5%, and naturally raised chicken and pigs also around 2-2.5%. Ruminants, such as cattle, can maintain low omega-6 levels regardless of diet due to their ability to biohydrogenate fats, unlike monogastric animals which will experience a rise in omega-6 levels. This emphasizes the importance of choosing natural animal fats for better omega-6 to omega-3 ratio and overall health.
