I’ve not used seed oils in 50 years and in my mid 60’s I have zero plaque when tested by a CT scan. They are big Ag poison. Our ancestors never used them. My ancestors used olive oil and very occasionally animal fats. Telling anyone they can use seed oil sparingly is like telling a junkie Oxxy is ok.
American food is heavily adulterated. Cook fresh healthy food at home. Never eat fast food. Pizza once every few months might be ok as a treat. It’s been around for at least 2k years.
Thanks for sharing your research on this. I’m constantly worried about GMO crops used to make these basic oils. Would you be able to share research on the effects of GMOs in oils and processed foods? I feel like there’s research to support or argue against everything, but I’d like to know what you’ve found!
My grandmother didn’t have seed oils or other genetically modified foods in her kitchen. I’m making an effort to follow her lead.
She lived a healthy life, not obese (back then, obesity was extremely rare), mentally healthy and active. She passed at age 98.
In fact all the elders in my family lived very long, healthy lives, into their late 80s and 90s.
Obviously the quality of food today is not what it was then, specifically the nutrients in vegetables and fruits so that’s a factor to consider. But why should I go out of my way to eat these newly invented products?
Maybe they are not as harmful as some say, but why pick them over the tried and true types of nutrition?
Good article and it's always important to question everything. One thing we should always ask is who is financing scientists making whatever claims they are making.
Also, the 'elevated LDL cholesterol is bad' concept has come under heavy questioning lately, and is highly nuanced, so it's odd that the expert quoted in your article mentioned it.
In the six months that I packed in seed oils , I’ve not experienced the squitters at all. Do you think one of the academic institutions you mention would be interested in a sample from my ‘naturalistic study’ or would I have to pay them to look into it?

This article is terrible advise

It's going on the list!
Loved this! How about something defending “occasional” wine consumption next?
It's going on the list! Especially with the new surgeon general's statement, right?

The experts lost so much credibility during the covid debacle that quoting them about other health issues doesn’t carry the weight it once did.
NYT? Harvard? If they can be “bought” to hawk a narrative over one health issue, how do we trust them on another?
Nailed it. Without also looking into all funding sources, expert opinion means nothing. Experts have been being bought off forever.

The results of any study conducted at Harvard depends simply on which organization is funding the study.
Understand now ??
Let’s have Harvard and Tufts fund an RCT and settle the matter.
Healthy fat chance.
Harvard Uni , Tuffs smh 👀
