Debunking Seed Oil Myths: Inflammatory Villain or Misunderstood? - Dr. Bill Harris

Have you heard that seed oils are inflammatory and bad for you? What does science say about this? Does canola oil and linoleic acid really cause inflammation and lead to heart disease? These questions and more are tackled in this episode with one of the top 2% of scientists in the world Dr. Bill Harris who has been researching fatty acids for over 40 years

We cover:

• Why are we so scared of seed oils and are they really damaging our bodies?

• What about the oxidation that comes with processing, pressuring and high heat?

• Do we need to replace seed and vegetable oils with something else?

• Should we be lowering our omega 6s and increasing omega 3s?

• Should we be testing our omega ratio?

• How should we be changing our diets to have better health outcomes?

• Why do we see so much conflicting research?

• Is it better to eat saturated fats like butter and coconut oil?

• What about the oxidation in omega 3 supplements

• Toxins, heavy metals and so much more
