Seed Oils Aren't Evil and the Haters Are Mad About It | Bonus Episode
Are seed oils really the evil villain they&aposre made out to be? 😈
Let&aposs dissect this heated debate and clear the air. I&aposm responding to a scathing one-star review accusing me of being "anti-science" and in cahoots with Big Food (seriously, where are my checks! 🤑💵).

I stand firm on my evidence-based approach, explaining why seed oils are not inherently harmful and highlighting the limitations of observational studies that can&apost establish causality. As for the science, feel free to refer to the multiple meta-analyses (like this and this) that show no link between seed oils / omega-6 and health issues (and some seem to support the opposite, that higher linoleic acid is associated with LOWER heart disease and mortality risk).
We&aposll also shed light on how the real dietary culprits are often the excess calories, lack of nutrients, and high palatability in ultra-processed foods correlated with an unhealthy dietary pattern and overconsumption, rather than the seed oils themselves.
My message?
Focus on balanced nutrition and moderation within an 80/20 framework to truly prioritize your health. Shockingly "anti-science" isn&apost it? 😁🤯
