Seed oil controversy is overblown. @RobertKennedyJr’s stance misrepresents data and reflects a poor grasp of nutrition. The real issue is excess calories from all CRRAHP (calorie rich, refined and highly processed) food concoctions, rooted in subsidized/cheap commodity crops, including but not whatsoever limited to seed, soybean, or corn oils. Replacing seed oils with saturated fats like tallow and butter would be worse. For more, see my interview with dietary fat expert, Prof. Bill Harris of @OmegaQuant youtu.be/vKIgptaD6N0?si=qOAZ…

There’s also been a rise in life expectancy with increase in seed oil consumption. Correlation is not causation (those seed oils have contributed to a 14% reduction in saturated fat intake since 1970, which may mean that seed oils actually somewhat contributed to our increase in life expectancy). Look at the best data and IMO the real issue that seed oils are associated with a massive increase in calorie intake over the decades (eg 1970 to 2000’s), driving obesity by quantitative calorie intake, and the association of Corporate Food Inc. (mis)using mass loads of them in CRRAHP (calorie rich, refined and highly processed) food concoctions. But CRRAHP would be even riskier if we continued to use saturated fat rich fat sources in CRRAHP foods. Two good reviews of the data that should be food for thought: @NutritionMadeS3: youtu.be/yqN61Z-qp88?si=yWn-… and @OmegaQuant: youtu.be/vKIgptaD6N0?si=9cnh…

All due respect, @RobertKennedyJr. We would be spend our national bandwidth on health far better if we focused on the sea of CRRAHP (calorie rich, refined and highly processed) foods and their sodium in which we are swimming than prioritizing artificial colors. There’s a prioritization list. And if anybody thinks that Froot Loops without artificial colors is going to make some dramatic health difference in anything, I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. I’ll save my thoughts for your misunderstanding on dietary fats for another post as I have to see actual metabolic health patients at the Cleveland Clinic shortly. In the meantime, if you want a serious conversation on seed oils and dietary fats, please indulge in my interview with world renowned dietary fats expert and Professor Bill Harris @OmegaQuant youtu.be/vKIgptaD6N0?si=EwO4…
