Yes my family members are like this, it's very frustrating. I watch them eat and drink poison constantly, spray nasty chemicals all over the place, never exercise, etc. In their minds health problems are mainly attributable to bad luck/genetics/"getting older".
Also certain drugs and supplements contain seed oils. Most people buy the cheap supplements from Walmart. I went to go buy vitamin D supplement for my mom. Was horrified by how many Vitamin D supplements contained seed oils especially Soybean oil. It did not make sense to me because Vitamin D is fat soluble, so it would make more sense to combine it with a good quality oil. To find a good quality Vitamin D supplement for my mom without seed oil I had to avoid a store like Walmart and go to a store like Sprouts to find a good brand. It was either that or buy online.
@@NineInchTyrone Sardines is good. The most popular brand of sardines especially in African countries contains soybean oil. I personally look for sardines in water or olive oil for myself, but the average person is not paying attention to that.
steak 🙄 lemme ask you, with the body parts you were born with, can you kill a cow, skin it, de bone it and clean it in sanitary conditions? when you see a squirrel, does it get the juices flowing to where it feels natural to catch it, bite its head clean off, fur and all?
I noticed only last week that seed oils have started to be used on dried fruit and nut products I had been buying for the past 3 months. (I hadn't suspected this at all, thinking these were simply unadulterated wholefoods, with a little salt at worst). When I did my shopping this week, I checked all the packets of one supermarket shelf - and only one product was safe. Another supermarket - nothing was safe from oils. 2 other supermarkets were mainly safe but their products cost twice the price (so you pay more to have less processing done to your products now. How insane is that?)
Chris Knobbe as well & he has lectures on it. The shit is in everything & the body takes over 2 years to begin clearing it out ??!! I just started taking GLYNAC & I think it helps the body clear Omega 6. I hope there is something to do other than just eating grass fed beef that will clear it faster. I must research for more interventions because seed oils are apparently making me insane from pain. Well wishes.

Lets not forget the environmental impact of the monocropping and soil degradation required to produce seed oils. Its really disturbing, I encourage all to go down that rabbit hole.

Totally. I recently read baby formula labels. First ingredient, corn syrup and ingredents from some additive made from fungus- DHA, ARA is causing severe diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration. And still NO FDA warning. Criminal!!
Correct. These oils were designed to lubricate machinery and not mankind, but let's go ahead and give them to the future of our country, newborns and infants, in spite of the fact that mammalian breast milk is nature's winning formula for them.
You know, I am 64 and in great shape. Every once in a while my joints and old injuries feel more painful than at other times. I have been avoiding PUFAs, but I do eat at restaurants infrequently. It's time to track the pain with the association with n-6 PUFAs. Thank you, Mike!
I make my own mayo as a substitute. With low flavor olive oil you can’t tell the difference. Plus if you increase the ratio of egg, it’s even more rich than store bought. The tricky part is mixing the egg yolk and olive oil. You need room temp egg yolks continuously mixed with just a drop of oil until it changes into solid white form then super slowly add oil, otherwise start over. The change is really fascinating to watch. If done wrong it will just be small pieces of egg floating in oil which is pretty gross.

Here's a ChatGPT summary: - Seed oils are found in many food products including processed foods, baked goods, salad dressings, oat milk, and vegan butters. - These oils are high in linoleic acid, which is stored in fat cells and prone to oxidation. - High consumption of linoleic acid is linked to health issues such as joint pain, back pain, anxiety, depression, and cognitive health concerns. - The half-life of linoleic acid in fat tissue is over 680 days, leading to long-term accumulation. - The content of linoleic acid in US adults' fat tissue has increased from 10% to around 25% in the last 50 years. - Oxidized metabolites of linoleic acid, like 13HP ODE, can increase susceptibility to oxidation in the brain, cell membranes, and LDL cholesterol. - The increase in seed oil consumption correlates with increased linoleic acid in adipose tissue, affecting human physiology and pathophysiology. - Dietary changes in the US have led to increased consumption of chicken and seed oils, while consumption of beef, pork, butter, and lard has decreased. - Adipose tissue linoleic acid has more than doubled in the US over the last half-century. - Inflamed fat cells can lead to a cascade of health issues, including insulin resistance and increased risk for chronic diseases. - Linoleic acid is the most commonly oxidized species in LDL cholesterol, which is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. - High intakes of omega-6 fats from seed oils are associated with depression and poor mental health. - Studies suggest that omega-6 fats are linked with increased pain, while omega-3 fats are associated with reduced pain. - To reduce intake of linoleic acid, it is recommended to cook food at home and avoid soy oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, and safflower oil. - Main message: High consumption of seed oils rich in linoleic acid is problematic for health, leading to increased fat storage, inflammation, and chronic pain, and it is important to avoid these oils to improve overall well-being.
There’s nothing like having my son… and he started with inflammation. He only got worse by 3 years old he had terrible asthma and eczema. I got super sick last year. I started changing our entire diet and started vitamin D, iron, omega 3… and boom his asthma / eczema went completely away… and he’s a more active vibrant kid. I’m excited for him to continue to improve over the next 5 years. He was a C section and formula baby. I am thankful to learn now. I’m hoping to teach my kids nutrition in homeschool study. Life is much harder if basic body health is degraded.
Layne Norton says seed oil are okay and he likes to tell everyone how intelligent he is , personally I feel much better since eliminating it from my diet , but I also eliminated sugar and processed carbs at the same time , so I don’t know for certain what was causing my previous inflammation and poor health.
It's impossible to eat out anywhere in the USA without being poisoned by these oils. You don't see all these fat people in other countries like Finland. I would like to see a comparison around the world, do other countries have this problem?
@@buzzardscry1383 definitely does not. That's kicker. Here in Canada the people who test it found 80% of oil was contaminated/cut with garbage oil. The change the color and somehow remove the smell. Unless you press your own olive oil I wouldn't eat it.
Both my parents were almost blind from macular degeneration before they died. I’m avoiding seed oils as much as I can. Cooking mostly with butter or homemade ghee.
Please be aware that because of the conflict in Ukraine sunflower oil has largely been replaced with rapeseed oil, which contains erucic oil, known to cause heart issues.
@@Roland-pw5xjThey are not quite the same thing. I will quote from a website: "In the 1970s canola was created through traditional plant cross-breeding by removing two things found in the rapeseed plant: glucosinolates and erucic acid. Erucic acid was removed because it was believed to be inedible or toxic in high doses. The newly developed plant was renamed “canola,” a combination of “Canadian” and “oil” (or ola) to make this difference apparent".
@dpstrial Eurcic acid content has been limited by breeding. This is the case, whether it is labelled rape seed or canola oil. Theoretically, it is down to safe levels , but in practice, there is some variability.
Unfortunately, non-ruminant animal livestock (pork and chicken especially) are now big sources of Linoleic acid as well. So even these animal protein sources are compromised because they are unable to process the all grain diets used in factory farming as well as ruminant animals can (although it isn't ideal for ruminants either, just less bad).
Anyone that tracks their omega-6 and Linoleic Acid intake will likely be surprised by what they discover. I was already eating a seed oil free diet when I started tracking mine. Those chicken thighs that I loved so much were completely blowing my omega3/6 ratio out of the water.
Good video and very pertinent. Been doing a low fat Mediterranean diet with only avocado and olive oil and feeling great. Whole foods/ home-cooked only.
Thanks for this concice overview! A few major sources of these oils missed are also: SAUCES and POTATO CHIPS. Mayonnaise is just pure seed oil, and potato chips are half seed oil.
They even add this stuff in butter that is labelled ORGANIC here in Denmark. I started making my own butter just to try compare it and the two products are like night and day. The bought "organic" butter burns so easily and you need to use 2x-3x times the amounts to not burn your meat compared to the homemade butter. I feel scammed cos I've used this for years thinking I was doing myself a favour paying extra for this junk...
That's not good! Does it not say what is included on the product label? I always worry about this - companies (I'm from the US) are so often doing the absolute bare minimum, even engaging in outright trickery and deception to maximize profits. I worry that some products may have ingredients that are not listed at all simply because the manufacturer hasn't been caught yet/can get away with it. Scary.
The un-organic butter here is labelled 70% butter and 30% canola oil which in my opinion shouldn't even be allowed to be called butter but it says 'BUTTER' on the labels. The organic butter just says 'from diary fat' but now days they have many smart technologies to make low fat diary seem like it's full of fat e.g. here we have 0.1% yogurt, it looks like regular fatty yoghurt and people here thinks low fat products are healthy just because it's low fat and then they add in sugar or else it would taste like absolute crap. @@silasakron4692
Thank you! This video was really helpful for me to listen to. I knew some of the symptoms that can happen if we eat too many seed oils, but I did not know that and anxiety and depression can also be caused by eating too many seeded oils. I appreciate the opportunity to listen to this.
I went to Walmart, Whole Foods, and Harris Teeter yesterday. I became tired trying to locate items that didn't have seed oils in them. I even found GMOs at Whole Foods. They didn't offer much, if any of this GMO crap 15 years ago. WTF is going on?

I have dercums disease. It's like fatty deposits in my arms. I think its because of seed oils. Im 33 male. I always had sunflower oil and early years vegetable oil as cooking oil at home. But few months ago, i avoided sunflower oil and rapeseed oil. I noticed the lumps are getting smaller. I read everything now. If i see sunflower or rapeseed oil i put it back. I don't eat out. I do miss the occasional kebab takeout. But i want to steer clear away from seed oils for at least a year and see if it helps with this disease. Its not easy. I enjoy a burger every week but every burger bun i found at supermarkets have sunflower or rapeseed oil. Its frustrating. So instead of buns as burgers i use focaccia that are made with olive oil. I use garlic mayo made with Avocado Oil. Extra virgin olive oil for cooking. Grass fed ghee. Avocado Oil. Great options. Im still thankful that i found out about seed oils at age 32. I hope its not too late for me.
I just started at 19. For a month now I’ve been avoiding seed oils. I had a cheat day yesterday because of an 18th birthday party: definitely consumed more sugar, salt and had seed oils and an alcoholic drink, but it’s back to the eggs and healthy fats lol.

I dont feel one bit different but have discovered just how insanely pervasive this stuff is. Used to go to chick fil a because they used peanut oil, till I found out they use canola in their breading. SON OF A BISCUIT!
Please keep talking about it. I have found that most people even doctors have no idea - still after so long that this info has been out. For the layperson I think it would be helpful to breakdown the terms and why "oxidation" especially the kind that happens when seed oil is heated, the way it can destroy health. Is the seed oil bad if it's not heated or is it bad...I mean what about flax seed, sesame seed, pepitas....the topic is somewhat confusing. What about peanuts and peanut oil/peanut butter. I didn't know about your book. Going to get it now. "THe Belly Fat Effect."
As someone who sticks to keto carnivore as a diet I have problem with mayo and ranch and not the healthy versions of them. I believe that’s what holding me back from optimal health. I don’t eat sugar, drink alcohol, rarely eat dairy, or do drugs. I lift weights everyday and I take my vitamins. But because of the salad dressings I eat a lot of seed oils. I do also consume lots of sugar free caffeine sources. I’m working on giving up seed oils. I’m keeping caffeine because i currently work graveyard shift.
Couldn’t some of these studies be convoluted by the likelihood that those with high intakes of seed oils are seeking them because of their low price and therefore may have financial stressors which DEFINITELY feeds depression? I think we’d all like the best most expensive oils. But that’s not financially feasible for everyone. The purchasing of seed oil may be a symptom of financial stress as much as the depression is
I drink coconut and almond milk with my coffee. I love hummus but it is hard to find without cottonseed or grape seed oils.Have tried other brands of Berberine and yours is the best. Love all of Myoscience products.
I stopped eating seed oils about 1.5 years ago, after watching, among others, this channel. I switched to a low carb diet and intermittent fasting in the hope I would sleep better, e.g. by influencing my microbiome. Well, sleeping didn't improve that much, but I don't experience these periods of several hours during the day that I can barely think properly due to fatigue. My interstitial cystitis retreated even further, my prostate is no longer agigated so I can typically sleep through the night without having to pee, and, the occasional pain in my fingers is completely gone, no pre-signals of arthritis. My triglycerids were also halved within a year and LDL went down by 20% so overall, it seems to work. Probably due to a combination of factors, like keto combined with intermittent fasting and severe reduction of seed oil intake, but nonetheless, I feel much better overall, even though I was trained as a scientist to believe otherwise (I participated in several randomized control experiments on the link diet and cholesterol in Wageningen, but then as 'victim').
That is why the carnivore diet is so successful and so many people are finding miraculous health benefits. Mostly because it eliminates all of these oils. Keto is ok but can be a bit to misleading as there are now so many 'keto' products available.
There is now ample “keto junk food” available. The same thing happens to Paleo years ago. It became popular and processed food then became available with “paleo” ingredients. I just stick to meat, dairy, fruit, and eggs.

When you see footage of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and gradually the 80s 90s...You see how people in Society, at the time, l👀ked During those Decades, Seed/Vegetable Oils slowly became the Gold ""Health"" Standard 👎
True. Late 70s early 80s the push to demonize butter and tallow and shove seed oils into everything went into overdrive...a dacade later people getting steadily fatter and fatter. Very obvious in old movies. Almost everyone was very thin prior to 1980.
Late 90’s I started cutting them out. I agree these things are way over consumed. Have not had a bottle of it in my house since then. Nuts are a major source as well. I know a lot of people who avoid the oils but chow down on nuts. But, the dose and what else it’s with is important. I don’t worry about an occasional meal out and if you get a little it will not be the end of the world, you will not puff up in fat or die of oxidation. When I get a Thai stir fry I ask them to use as little as possible. Also, chicken (lean breast) is fine. Even Chris Knobe said not to worry about an occasional meal out if one is not eating all the junk or using it at home. We do have a biochemical requirement for a small amount of these. An occasional drizzle of sesame oil on some Korean bbq is very different that chowing down on McDonald’s hash browns, chicken nuggets and fries, bag of Cheetos, etc.
Agreed agreed agreed! Thank you for bringing this oil issue to light. Age 55 year old female. The past 2 years I have been getting migraines that last 2-3 days 1-2 a month. I do eat fairly healthy. Min adult beverage. Take supplements. No medications. I read somewhere maybe one of your previous videos? That the first step is to remove these oils. I thought well heck I eat salads, no granola bars etc. but I was eating an occasional cheese and crackers, chips. Heck those oils are even in frozen vegetables! WTH 🤦🏽♀️.
I think I eat healthy mostly low carb sometimes I cheat on pizza but recently stopped that and went only low carb no gluten and none of the seed oils (except when eating out) but added Carlson’s Fish oil and Boy has my back pain disappeared!!!

Managing endometriosis through diet here - oils and processed sugars are main trigger points. Dairy doesnt help much either, but not the harshest. Not hard to switch off from using oils in homemade meals, but restaurants are so hard to eat at if going completely free from oils. If looking for recipes, WFPBNO is a common tag, standing for whole food plant based no oil. If you arent against eating meat, it's simple to add meat to the recipes. With endo, if I stick with fruits only for sugars, even the normal PMS symptoms go away. Really weird to have zero cramping, and definitely not complaining.

You're dang right, i've known this for a while and have been avoiding seed/vegetable oils whenever i can for about a year now. Like anything else, it will get much easier when you get into the routine, i'd personally avoid going to fast food places/restaurants, as most of them use these oils. Same for pre-prepared meals at most stores, and even some ingredients, for those always remember to check the ingredients and look for said seed and vegetable oils, as well as other unhealthly ingredients as the packages are legally required to show the ingredients. As for alternatives, i know it sounds kinda corny, but you can certainly still make your favorite foods and have them be both healthy and delicious, for the seed/vegetable oil substitutes in particular, don't be afraid to use lard, butter, olive oil, or coconut oil, which is mostly pure, and do your homework to find which fresh ingredients are most accessible to you.
I'd like to hear your assessment of whole food sources of omega-6, such as sunflower seeds and pepitas, as these two, in particular, are common ways of bulking of 'keto' cereals, and they affect o-6:o-3 even though they may be more stable.
You could argue that a low fat diet would cause the fat to be released into the body for fuel. Combined with high intensity exercise it could speed up the process.
Ray peat has a goldmine of information related to this topic. Try to cap PUFAs at 5 g’s/day, supplemental vitamin e which saturates your adipose tissue, coconut oil consumption, ghee butter/higher saturated fat intake, taurine supplementation and overall thyroid health are all beneficial.

When a child in the early nineteen fifties, for a few days my school lunch was made with margarine instead of butter by someone else while my mother was in hospital. The margarine was rancid because in those days the use of chemical antioxidants had not been adopted or perfected sufficient to prevent the rapid oxidation of seed oils. I still remember that sickly taste.

The good news, stop eating chicken and seed oils today and have a probably healthy fat tissue base in only 5-6 years. I stopped 2 years ago, 3-4 more to go.
The results are unspeakable. I reversed a rare disease called EoE by abolishing these refined, bleached and deodorized oils, and I also no longer experience any environmental allergy symptoms.
Notice I have been keeping anything with soy out of my diet. Noticed Soy Lechtin is the biggest factor on Digestive System. Since then, finding out making meals at home (non-processed food), bake goods and using vegetable oil, olive oil, and yes bacon lard for biscuits have actually reduced digestive issues that have existed. Cholesterol on all levels have become normal. Never had a problem with blood pressure except low blood pressure (due to the loss of sodium due from chronic pancreatitis). Also found that iodized salt is important for thyroid. A lot of things they say are good for you are not so good. My tolerance for soy is not good and abstain from eating anything with soy. It is sad that most products on the grocery shelves are full of soy causing thyroid, increase in appetite, and obesity.
We’ve known aspartame was bad since 1973. We have Monk fruit, Stevia, and aulos but we still use aspartame today 50 years later. We know that seed oils are bad. 50 years from now we’ll still be using seed oil it’s awful.
Wow, I don't usually eat any processed foods anymore but yesterday was a busy shopping day and i ate some chips. Yes, they were cooked in unhealthy seed oils. So, eating chips occasionally will now change to never eating chips. Also, I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. That's why I started eating carnivore. I want to stop hurting and having joint destruction. I've already had 5 joint replacement surgeries. But I always thought of chicken as carnivore and I love to eat chicken as well as beef. I'm wondering if it would be okay to eat chicken if I raised them myself on a non-GMO, soy free diet? Also, if I eat fish I catch myself instead of farmed fish? Going carnivore helps me feel better and I lost 70 pounds but I still have joint pain, swelling, and eczema. Maybe it takes a long time to get the linoleic acid out of me. Hmmm
I seem to recall an aggressive push to these oils for health reasons just 20 years ago. I wonder what stuff being pushed as healthy today will be deadly 20 years from now.
You can find a compound in every food that has a negative affect. How would seed oils be any worst than a compound, in say red meat or spinach that, has a negative effect. How is this quantified because for all we know the difference may be negligible when all things like dose are considered.
It's part of the low carb hustle. This thing just keeps being reinvented as an old iteration falls out of favor. Now low carb seed oils are bad for you. The bottom line is that no one has ever proven that calories in vs calories out isn't a fairly good predictor of weight. And knowing this, it makes no sense to focus a diet on calorie dense foods, which invariably low carbers do when they focus on meat and even worse, lard, beef tallow etc. Unless someone is obese, they aren't going to improve their weight and health significantly eating this way. Like little kids who refuse to eat their fruits and veggies. Eventually I just bit the bullet and learned to work with and like eating low fat mostly vegetarian foods. Nothing heavily processed, no are oils, no deep frying potatoes to get my veg in lol. Just cutting out the high calorie BS. A pile of bacon will never be a health food. A greasy pile of bundles cheeseburgers will never be a health food. It is what it is.
@@candorsspot2775 How about you get your calories from water hemlock, fox glove, etc and see how that works out for you. Obviously, some plants and plant components are toxic.

I went from 135 lb to 120 lb by simply switching to only cook w butter, cold pressed olive oil, coconut oil and beef tallow as well as only using unenriched flour. I still eat cookies, pasta, bread, etc just homemade with higher quality ingredients. My skin is so much clearer too 😊
They feed cattle and pigs soybean too, because it's high in protein and it's oils increase growth in those species. Not every species is affected by the same foods in the same ways. (Not to mention that they digest soy and any oils before they are butchered and sold.)
I'm thinking about going back to lard for frying, but in very limited use. I bake or broil most of the meats I eat. Lots of chicken and some lean pork. I have been eating more fruit, vegetables and making more salads. Raisin bran without sugar, etc.
Kind of random but interesting fact, when researching how to help my horse with his inflammation, knowing omega 3’s are anti inflammatory for humans I assumed it would be good for him. Turns out horses need omega 6’s more than omega 3’s, the opposite for us!
For anyone trying to make the argument that animal fat also contains linoleic acid, it's a different type called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). CLA has many health benefits and is even available as a supplement. But no point supplementing when you can just eat fatty meat instead 😊
Earth balance butter that I have used for years contains palm, soybean , canola and extra virgin olive oils also soy lecithin. Looks like a not so good product. Clean, grass fed butters sound as though it's a better way to go. This has been very eye opening

Unhealthy food is like a poison that doesn’t progress unless you eat/drink more of it.
Anyone else notice that all the bad health outcomes he mentioned are the same things we see in the tv commercials for all these new drugs?
Also certain drugs and supplements contain seed oils. Most people buy the cheap supplements from Walmart. I went to go buy vitamin D supplement for my mom. Was horrified by how many Vitamin D supplements contained seed oils especially Soybean oil. It did not make sense to me because Vitamin D is fat soluble, so it would make more sense to combine it with a good quality oil. To find a good quality Vitamin D supplement for my mom without seed oil I had to avoid a store like Walmart and go to a store like Sprouts to find a good brand. It was either that or buy online.

Trader Joe's has very few non seed oil alternatives. They are considered a healthy store. Very little I buy there anymore...😢
I noticed only last week that seed oils have started to be used on dried fruit and nut products I had been buying for the past 3 months.
(I hadn't suspected this at all, thinking these were simply unadulterated wholefoods, with a little salt at worst).
When I did my shopping this week, I checked all the packets of one supermarket shelf - and only one product was safe. Another supermarket - nothing was safe from oils. 2 other supermarkets were mainly safe but their products cost twice the price (so you pay more to have less processing done to your products now. How insane is that?)
Dr Rhonda Patrick has been saying this for at least 7 years now. It was around then where I cut seed oils completely off my diet.
Mike has been saying this for many years also. I am pleased the information is slowly getting to the masses. 👍
Were trully blessed to get this kind of info. Many people will suffer without knowing why until things get changed.

The shit is in everything & the body takes over 2 years to begin clearing it out ??!!

I make my own mayo as a substitute. With low flavor olive oil you can’t tell the difference. Plus if you increase the ratio of egg, it’s even more rich than store bought. The tricky part is mixing the egg yolk and olive oil. You need room temp egg yolks continuously mixed with just a drop of oil until it changes into solid white form then super slowly add oil, otherwise start over. The change is really fascinating to watch. If done wrong it will just be small pieces of egg floating in oil which is pretty gross.
Olive oil really is not much better. Even if its not fake or adulterated (80 percent is).

Here's a ChatGPT summary:
- Seed oils are found in many food products including processed foods, baked goods, salad dressings, oat milk, and vegan butters.
- These oils are high in linoleic acid, which is stored in fat cells and prone to oxidation.
- High consumption of linoleic acid is linked to health issues such as joint pain, back pain, anxiety, depression, and cognitive health concerns.
- The half-life of linoleic acid in fat tissue is over 680 days, leading to long-term accumulation.
- The content of linoleic acid in US adults' fat tissue has increased from 10% to around 25% in the last 50 years.
- Oxidized metabolites of linoleic acid, like 13HP ODE, can increase susceptibility to oxidation in the brain, cell membranes, and LDL cholesterol.
- The increase in seed oil consumption correlates with increased linoleic acid in adipose tissue, affecting human physiology and pathophysiology.
- Dietary changes in the US have led to increased consumption of chicken and seed oils, while consumption of beef, pork, butter, and lard has decreased.
- Adipose tissue linoleic acid has more than doubled in the US over the last half-century.
- Inflamed fat cells can lead to a cascade of health issues, including insulin resistance and increased risk for chronic diseases.
- Linoleic acid is the most commonly oxidized species in LDL cholesterol, which is a risk factor for coronary heart disease.
- High intakes of omega-6 fats from seed oils are associated with depression and poor mental health.
- Studies suggest that omega-6 fats are linked with increased pain, while omega-3 fats are associated with reduced pain.
- To reduce intake of linoleic acid, it is recommended to cook food at home and avoid soy oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, and safflower oil.
- Main message: High consumption of seed oils rich in linoleic acid is problematic for health, leading to increased fat storage, inflammation, and chronic pain, and it is important to avoid these oils to improve overall well-being.

There’s nothing like having my son… and he started with inflammation. He only got worse by 3 years old he had terrible asthma and eczema. I got super sick last year. I started changing our entire diet and started vitamin D, iron, omega 3… and boom his asthma / eczema went completely away… and he’s a more active vibrant kid. I’m excited for him to continue to improve over the next 5 years. He was a C section and formula baby. I am thankful to learn now. I’m hoping to teach my kids nutrition in homeschool study.

Please be aware that because of the conflict in Ukraine sunflower oil has largely been replaced with rapeseed oil, which contains erucic oil, known to cause heart issues.
Sunflower oil is a seed oil. It's garbage for the body as well.
This is what Mike is referring to as "canola oil".
@@Roland-pw5xjThey are not quite the same thing. I will quote from a website: "In the 1970s canola was created through traditional plant cross-breeding by removing two things found in the rapeseed plant: glucosinolates and erucic acid. Erucic acid was removed because it was believed to be inedible or toxic in high doses. The newly developed plant was renamed “canola,” a combination of “Canadian” and “oil” (or ola) to make this difference apparent".
@dpstrial Eurcic acid content has been limited by breeding. This is the case, whether it is labelled rape seed or canola oil. Theoretically, it is down to safe levels , but in practice, there is some variability.
Neither oil is good. Both are seed oils.
Since I started watching your videos I've been telling my patients in my med practice to avoid seed oils because it can increase their pain
Excellent, I have done the same, let's hope they integrate this powerful idea.
Subtract the seed oils before they subtract you.
Unfortunately, non-ruminant animal livestock (pork and chicken especially) are now big sources of Linoleic acid as well. So even these animal protein sources are compromised because they are unable to process the all grain diets used in factory farming as well as ruminant animals can (although it isn't ideal for ruminants either, just less bad).
You can buy pork from pigs that have eaten primarily silage though...
Anyone that tracks their omega-6 and Linoleic Acid intake will likely be surprised by what they discover. I was already eating a seed oil free diet when I started tracking mine. Those chicken thighs that I loved so much were completely blowing my omega3/6 ratio out of the water.

Thanks for this concice overview! A few major sources of these oils missed are also: SAUCES and POTATO CHIPS. Mayonnaise is just pure seed oil, and potato chips are half seed oil.
They even add this stuff in butter that is labelled ORGANIC here in Denmark. I started making my own butter just to try compare it and the two products are like night and day. The bought "organic" butter burns so easily and you need to use 2x-3x times the amounts to not burn your meat compared to the homemade butter.
I feel scammed cos I've used this for years thinking I was doing myself a favour paying extra for this junk...
That's not good! Does it not say what is included on the product label? I always worry about this - companies (I'm from the US) are so often doing the absolute bare minimum, even engaging in outright trickery and deception to maximize profits. I worry that some products may have ingredients that are not listed at all simply because the manufacturer hasn't been caught yet/can get away with it. Scary.
The un-organic butter here is labelled 70% butter and 30% canola oil which in my opinion shouldn't even be allowed to be called butter but it says 'BUTTER' on the labels. The organic butter just says 'from diary fat' but now days they have many smart technologies to make low fat diary seem like it's full of fat e.g. here we have 0.1% yogurt, it looks like regular fatty yoghurt and people here thinks low fat products are healthy just because it's low fat and then they add in sugar or else it would taste like absolute crap.

But few months ago, i avoided sunflower oil and rapeseed oil. I noticed the lumps are getting smaller. I read everything now. If i see sunflower or rapeseed oil i put it back. I don't eat out. I do miss the occasional kebab takeout. But i want to steer clear away from seed oils for at least a year and see if it helps with this disease. Its not easy.

Couldn’t some of these studies be convoluted by the likelihood that those with high intakes of seed oils are seeking them because of their low price and therefore may have financial stressors which DEFINITELY feeds depression?

I stopped eating seed oils about 1.5 years ago, after watching, among others, this channel. I switched to a low carb diet and intermittent fasting in the hope I would sleep better, e.g. by influencing my microbiome. Well, sleeping didn't improve that much, but I don't experience these periods of several hours during the day that I can barely think properly due to fatigue. My interstitial cystitis retreated even further, my prostate is no longer agigated so I can typically sleep through the night without having to pee, and, the occasional pain in my fingers is completely gone, no pre-signals of arthritis. My triglycerids were also halved within a year and LDL went down by 20% so overall, it seems to work. Probably due to a combination of factors, like keto combined with intermittent fasting and severe reduction of seed oil intake, but nonetheless, I feel much better overall, even though I was trained as a scientist to believe otherwise (I participated in several randomized control experiments on the link diet and cholesterol in Wageningen, but then as 'victim').
I try to avoid anything with canola soy etc oils. Which is almost ALL processed foods !
That is why the carnivore diet is so successful and so many people are finding miraculous health benefits. Mostly because it eliminates all of these oils. Keto is ok but can be a bit to misleading as there are now so many 'keto' products available.

Raising awareness of vegetable oils is a significant service. I am taking heed, as I have read they can cause atherosclerosis.
even added to raisins now, lots of nuts and other dried fruit etc. so difficult to find any without it.

We were all so skinny back then.
True. Late 70s early 80s the push to demonize butter and tallow and shove seed oils into everything went into overdrive...a dacade later people getting steadily fatter and fatter. Very obvious in old movies. Almost everyone was very thin prior to 1980.
In Germany, too. People ate much simpler diets and obestity was hardly an issue, my mom says (she was born in 1952).
Late 90’s I started cutting them out. I agree these things are way over consumed. Have not had a bottle of it in my house since then. Nuts are a major source as well. I know a lot of people who avoid the oils but chow down on nuts. But, the dose and what else it’s with is important. I don’t worry about an occasional meal out and if you get a little it will not be the end of the world, you will not puff up in fat or die of oxidation. When I get a Thai stir fry I ask them to use as little as possible. Also, chicken (lean breast) is fine. Even Chris Knobe said not to worry about an occasional meal out if one is not eating all the junk or using it at home. We do have a biochemical requirement for a small amount of these. An occasional drizzle of sesame oil on some Korean bbq is very different that chowing down on McDonald’s hash browns, chicken nuggets and fries, bag of Cheetos, etc.
Agreed agreed agreed! Thank you for bringing this oil issue to light. Age 55 year old female. The past 2 years I have been getting migraines that last 2-3 days 1-2 a month. I do eat fairly healthy.

You're dang right, i've known this for a while and have been avoiding seed/vegetable oils whenever i can for about a year now. Like anything else, it will get much easier when you get into the routine, i'd personally avoid going to fast food places/restaurants, as most of them use these oils. Same for pre-prepared meals at most stores, and even some ingredients, for those always remember to check the ingredients and look for said seed and vegetable oils, as well as other unhealthly ingredients as the packages are legally required to show the ingredients. As for alternatives, i know it sounds kinda corny, but you can certainly still make your favorite foods and have them be both healthy and delicious, for the seed/vegetable oil substitutes in particular, don't be afraid to use lard, butter, olive oil, or coconut oil, which is mostly pure, and do your homework to find which fresh ingredients are most accessible to you.

@@dave.shakawe I didn't see the margarine being used but your question prompted me to look up dyeing of margarine. I see that at an early stage there was a yellow colorant sold to be mixed with margarine.
680+ days. Wow! As someone who avoids seed oils but falls into eating out at times, this makes me want to never eat out! I do take an Omega 3 supplement, exercise and eat clean 3/4 of the time. It's sad that we cannot avoid seed oils when we want to go out to eat... I really hope restaurants wake up.
The good news, stop eating chicken and seed oils today and have a probably healthy fat tissue base in only 5-6 years. I stopped 2 years ago, 3-4 more to go.
Eat the leanest part of chicken and pork , to avoid seed oils
@@Manny-gf9gmTo avoid excess linoleic acid, yes.
The results are unspeakable. I reversed a rare disease called EoE by abolishing these refined, bleached and deodorized oils, and I also no longer experience any environmental allergy symptoms.
I love sesame oil though. Toasted ones are so tasty in Asia cuisine.
Notice I have been keeping anything with soy out of my diet. Noticed Soy Lechtin is the biggest factor on Digestive System. Since then, finding out making meals at home (non-processed food), bake goods and using vegetable oil, olive oil, and yes bacon lard for biscuits have actually reduced digestive issues that have existed. Cholesterol on all levels have become normal. Never had a problem with blood pressure except low blood pressure (due to the loss of sodium due from chronic pancreatitis). Also found that iodized salt is important for thyroid. A lot of things they say are good for you are not so good. My tolerance for soy is not good and abstain from eating anything with soy. It is sad that most products on the grocery shelves are full of soy causing thyroid, increase in appetite, and obesity.
We’ve known aspartame was bad since 1973. We have Monk fruit, Stevia, and aulos but we still use aspartame today 50 years later. We know that seed oils are bad. 50 years from now we’ll still be using seed oil it’s awful.
3-MCPDE and 1,3-DCP carcinogens from heated seed oils.
Wow, I don't usually eat any processed foods anymore but yesterday was a busy shopping day and i ate some chips. Yes, they were cooked in unhealthy seed oils. So, eating chips occasionally will now change to never eating chips. Also, I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. That's why I started eating carnivore. I want to stop hurting and having joint destruction. I've already had 5 joint replacement surgeries. But I always thought of chicken as carnivore and I love to eat chicken as well as beef. I'm wondering if it would be okay to eat chicken if I raised them myself on a non-GMO, soy free diet? Also, if I eat fish I catch myself instead of farmed fish? Going carnivore helps me feel better and I lost 70 pounds but I still have joint pain, swelling, and eczema. Maybe it takes a long time to get the linoleic acid out of me. Hmmm
Thanks again for looking into this research for us all!
I seem to recall an aggressive push to these oils for health reasons just 20 years ago. I wonder what stuff being pushed as healthy today will be deadly 20 years from now.
Sometimes is the problem of humans living longer lives and meta analysis being made only after long studies are completed.
You can find a compound in every food that has a negative affect. How would seed oils be any worst than a compound, in say red meat or spinach that, has a negative effect. How is this quantified because for all we know the difference may be negligible when all things like dose are considered.
red meat is good for you eat more of it
@@opticalman6417 Not exactly the evidence I was looking for. Lol!
Completely flawed logic Nick. Clearly some chemicals are worse than others. Some are toxic at minute concentrations.
It's part of the low carb hustle. This thing just keeps being reinvented as an old iteration falls out of favor. Now low carb seed oils are bad for you.
The bottom line is that no one has ever proven that calories in vs calories out isn't a fairly good predictor of weight.
And knowing this, it makes no sense to focus a diet on calorie dense foods, which invariably low carbers do when they focus on meat and even worse, lard, beef tallow etc. Unless someone is obese, they aren't going to improve their weight and health significantly eating this way.
Like little kids who refuse to eat their fruits and veggies. Eventually I just bit the bullet and learned to work with and like eating low fat mostly vegetarian foods. Nothing heavily processed, no are oils, no deep frying potatoes to get my veg in lol. Just cutting out the high calorie BS. A pile of bacon will never be a health food. A greasy pile of bundles cheeseburgers will never be a health food. It is what it is.
@@candorsspot2775 How about you get your calories from water hemlock, fox glove, etc and see how that works out for you. Obviously, some plants and plant components are toxic. Concentrating components from inedible components (grape seeds, cotton seeds, etc) is a poor basis for arguing all calories are the same.
Omega-6 promotion is the real misinformation giant of our age.
Correct.
I tried to buy some pecans at Walmart recently and was somewhat shocked that nearly all the nuts there were roasted in seed oils. The only ones I could find that weren't were the raw almonds from Blue Diamond.
I grew up in the 70s/80s. Margarine was on my Family’s table and everyone else’s at meals. Hard to believe Food Inc. and Doctors got away with promoting that poison as healthy. Same scenario with Seed Oils today.
I wanted to ask too about Omega 9 oils (oleic acid), such as olive, macadamia, avocado - do these oils have the same oxidation and inflammation problems as Omega 6 oils? Ty
YT thought police have disappeared my response.
Fire in a Bottle yt chan has the detailed answer to this question...he dives deep into fat biochemistry. .
Basically. Yes.
Some "health" CZcams channels still say seed oils are healthy 😂
They are doing their followers a tremendous disservice. Mike here is on the money.
We are friends with a couple in their early 70s, we tried to explain that seed oils are very unhealthy. She got very defensive and said "we've been using them for years and we're fine." The fact is she has had two different cancers, currently diabetic, significantly over weight, has mobility issues and all kinds of aches and pains... but she's "fine".
I stopped getting sunburned when I cut out seed oils.
I thought this was jerma
lmao
I went from 135 lb to 120 lb by simply switching to only cook w butter, cold pressed olive oil, coconut oil and beef tallow as well as only using unenriched flour. I still eat cookies, pasta, bread, etc just homemade with higher quality ingredients. My skin is so much clearer too 😊
It’s so difficult and tricky to avoid them all together. It’s my understanding that a lot of olive oils are actually cut with vegetable (soy) oil.
Great Video Mike!!
Will you break down the “Science Vs” podcast on seed oils? The chick is representing the idea or “fact” that it isn’t harmful.
They feed cattle and pigs soybean too, because it's high in protein and it's oils increase growth in those species. Not every species is affected by the same foods in the same ways. (Not to mention that they digest soy and any oils before they are butchered and sold.)
I'm thinking about going back to lard for frying, but in very limited use. I bake or broil most of the meats I eat. Lots of chicken and some lean pork. I have been eating more fruit, vegetables and making more salads. Raisin bran without sugar, etc.
You gotta make it more clear.
seed oils aren't bad if you eat it as whole seeds
Meat also contains tons of omega 6.
Kind of random but interesting fact, when researching how to help my horse with his inflammation, knowing omega 3’s are anti inflammatory for humans I assumed it would be good for him. Turns out horses need omega 6’s more than omega 3’s, the opposite for us!
For anyone trying to make the argument that animal fat also contains linoleic acid, it's a different type called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). CLA has many health benefits and is even available as a supplement. But no point supplementing when you can just eat fatty meat instead 😊
Note that seed oils are healthy if they are cold pressed. It is the refining process that causes the health issues.
That's way I avoid any seed oils. I only use olive oil or clarified butter. I live in Germany.
Earth balance butter that I have used for years contains palm, soybean , canola and extra virgin olive oils also soy lecithin. Looks like a not so good product. Clean, grass fed butters sound as though it's a better way to go.
This has been very eye opening
