Some of the many reasons why I only reccomend traditional oils and animal fats in the diet.

Story at-a-glance
Ultraprocessed vegetable oils have quietly become one of the most dominant and pernicious ingredients in the modern diet. They have driven a dramatic rise in linoleic acid (LA) intake over the past century
The documentary, “Fed a Lie: The Truth About Seed Oils,” reveals how marketing, subsidies, and flawed science replaced traditional animal fats with industrially produced oils made from soy, corn, cottonseed, and other crops
Clinical and epidemiological studies have linked seed oil consumption to increased oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial damage, cancer risk, and cardiovascular dysfunction, despite being touted as “healthy” fats
Ancestral populations thrived on diets rich in saturated fat but free from processed seed oils. This allowed them low rates of chronic disease, even with widely varying macronutrient profiles
To reduce your exposure to seed oils and help counter the effects of excess LA, focus on avoiding processed foods, switching to traditional fats for cooking, and supporting your body’s natural defenses with nutrients like C15:0

The Truth About Vegetable Oils Vegetable oils have become one of the most dominant ingredients in our food supply, and this documentary explains how that happened.
