Historical Impact of Seed Oils and Corporate Interest in Food Industry
The use of seed oils in the American diet began with corporations like Procter & Gamble promoting cotton seed waste as food, despite it not being real food. The push for seed oils was driven by corporations' need to repurpose industrial waste post-Industrial Revolution. These corporations invested in the Nutrition Foundation to create studies supporting the consumption of seed oils over real food. The media, such as the New York Times, often quoted experts from the Nutrition Foundation without disclosing conflicts of interest, leading to misleading information being promoted to the public. This manipulation by corporations and the government's alignment with corporate interests have shaped the American diet, illustrating how incentives have driven the promotion of seed oils over real food.
