Episode 53: Seed Oils
I’m so sick of talking about these I made AI write this:
In this episode, Jono discusses seed oils and addresses the claims made about their health effects. He explains what seed oils are, where they come from, and the major claims against them. Jono debunks the idea that seed oils are unhealthy due to their production process, highlighting that the evidence does not support this claim. He also examines the link between seed oil consumption and inflammation, concluding that the evidence does not show a significant impact on inflammation in humans. Additionally, Jono addresses the claim that seed oils are responsible for obesity, emphasizing that it is the overall energy intake and food environment that contribute to obesity, not just seed oils.
