Seed oils, such as soybean oil, are inflammatory because they cause linoleic acid to accumulate in cells and tissues, including LDL cholesterol particles. Linoleic acid, an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, is fragile and prone to oxidation, and seed oils contain high amounts of it. The medical literature shows that increased seed oil consumption raises inflammatory markers like oxidized LDL, LP, PLA2, and CRP. Therefore, to decrease inflammation and improve health, seed oils should be completely removed from the diet. Anyone claiming seed oils are not inflammatory has not read the relevant research.

The increased consumption of seed oils has raised concerns about the potential harm of omega-6 fatty acids, especially if oils are improperly manufactured or contain impurities. Omega-3 fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory effects, benefiting heart health, brain function, and overall well-being. Omega-6 fatty acids, abundant in seed oils, can worsen inflammation under certain lab conditions. When consumed, omega-6 acids break down into molecules that might cause inflammation as part of the immune response. An imbalance with excessive omega-6 and insufficient omega-3 intake could shift the body to a more inflammatory state. Chronic inflammation is linked to heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and cancer.

In the 1960s and 70s, health experts advised reducing saturated fats from animal products due to studies linking them to increased cholesterol and heart disease risk. Seed oils, high in polyunsaturated fats, emerged as healthier alternatives. This led to a widespread adoption of seed oils, with margarine replacing butter and increased use in processed foods like salad dressings, chips, and cookies. This dietary shift raised concerns about the potential harm of consuming large amounts of seed oils and omega-6 fatty acids, especially if the oils are improperly manufactured or contain impurities like trans fats or oxidized fats.

Seed oils are considered one of the most unhealthy ingredients in foods due to subsidies that make them cheap. They are associated with serious illnesses, including body-wide inflammation, which affects overall health. Seed oils are one of the worst things a person can eat, and they are almost impossible to avoid because they are present in nearly all processed foods.

"Seed oils are called polyunsaturated fatty acids." "Poly meaning many." "Unsaturated mean a type of oil that it's very very fragile and unstable." "Now the first thing you need to know is that when they talk about vegetable oils they're really talking about seed oils." "It comes from corn, soy, canola, things like that." "They're considered one part of the ultra processed food category which they use industrial processing where they're heating, adding hexane, which is a solvent that's in gasoline." "And so they go through this incredible refining process where you end up with this very refined empty oil." "And one of the reasons they do this is so it can sit on the shelf for a long period of time." "We consume like 25 to 30% of our calories with this right here."

Ancestral diet revolution, how vegetable oils and processed foods destroy our health and how to recover. The oxidative stress that occurs with smoking kind of poisons us for about six months to a year after quitting. But we consume the seed oils, right? It's going to poison us for about three years after just one serving in cooking oil. So these oils were never meant for fuel like other fats. And the biggest damaging effect from these seed oils is what they do to your mitochondria. And this is why seed oils lead to insulin resistance. Of course, from there, have a fatty liver, obesity, heart disease, increase your risk for cancer, etc.

The concern that eating too much omega-6 leads to inflammation may be overblown. While the theory sounds logical when extrapolating from lab tests on single cells, human randomized controlled trials provide real-world evidence. One such trial involved obese individuals who were fed either a diet high in omega-6 seed oils or a diet high in saturated fat from butter. Both groups consumed the same amount of calories and macros. After ten weeks, the seed oil group had less liver fat, reduced inflammation, and lower insulin levels compared to the saturated fat group. The study also measured linoleic acid levels in the blood to verify that the seed oil group was adhering to the study protocol and consuming more seed oils.

Seed oils, comprising 25-30% of diets, directly contribute to damaged mitochondria, which control metabolism. Visceral fat is more affected by seed oils than sugar, despite the common misconception that seed oils are heart-healthy. Seed oils are, in fact, heart-unhealthy due to the industrial refining process they undergo, making them damaging to the body when consumed.

In this Wide Awake Media podcast conversation, host Didi Denslow and guest Ivor Cummins—a biochemical engineer, nutrition expert known as the Fat Emperor—discuss health paradigms, seed oils, geopolitics, and emerging technologies, with a recurring emphasis on waking up to structured power dynamics. Seeds oils and the “devil’s triad” - Cummins presents a framework he calls the “devil’s triad” to explain modern obesity and diabetes trends: sugars, refined grains or refined tweeds, and seed oils. He cites American data indicating 64% of adults over 45 are prediabetic or diabetic, suggesting the triad drives these conditions. Cutting out sugars, refined carbohydrates, and seed oils is portrayed as a path to reversing obesity and diabetes epidemics. - Seed oils are described as being extracted with hexane and solvents under high heat/pressure. They include sunflower, safflower, rapeseed (and other seed-derived oils). He states they are high in omega-6 fats, used as signaling molecules in inflammatory processes, and should be kept to very low dietary levels (current US intake around 15% of calories versus a recommended under 0.5%). He notes issues in processing: hydrogenation and molecular damage, plus deodorizing, bleaching, and color adjustments that mask natural signals to avoid consumption. - He contrasts seed oils with natural fats from real foods: olives (olive oil), animal fats like lard and tallow, and butter, which are deemed acceptable. He references historical and industry context: seed oils originated from lubricants used in engines (and later hydrogenated for food), with Crisco marking their rise; he attributes a shift in public health trends to decisions in the mid- to late-20th century, including influential thoughts by Ancel Keys on saturated fats. - The discussion also touches the economics and incentives: seed oils are cheap, shelf-stable, and favored by global supply chains and processed foods; this is linked to industry strategies and ties between food, pharma, and academic funding. Some guests’ positions align on seed oils as a major driver of chronic disease, though Cummins also acknowledges the role of refined carbohydrates and sugars. Diet, personal change, and practical guidance - The host shares personal experience: eliminating seed oils improved health, including belly fat reduction. - Repertoire of alternative fats suggested includes high-quality olive oil, coconut oil, tallow, lard from well-raised pigs (with caveats about omega-6 content), and avocado oil as a more expensive option. Geopolitics, digital identity, and cultural shifts - Digital ID and civil liberties: Ireland’s progress toward digital ID is discussed, illustrating a “boiling frog” dynamic: government IDs exist but may become mandatory over time. Cummins underscores civil disobedience, awareness, and lobbying as means to resist, arguing that politicians report to higher, unelected networks. He asserts EU structures (EU Commission, European Parliament) mimic Soviet-era governance, creating a centralized power apparatus. - Hate speech law in Ireland: Cummins describes an earlier hate speech framework (1986 incitement to hatred) as effective, and a proposed newer framework with broad, protected classes as a potential threat to civil rights, warning that the pre-crime model resembles Minority Report, 1984, and Brave New World. He suggests public scrutiny of whom politicians report to. - Global networks and governance: The conversation invokes a historical view of global power networks (Rhodes, Milner, Rothschilds, Rockefellers) and institutions like the Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission, and the CIA. Cummins sees these organizations as orchestrating global policy and economy, with a current sense of tension due to BRICS dynamics, shifting American leadership, and challenges to the old oligarchies. - Immigration and demographic strategy: He cites Denmark, Hungary, Poland, and Switzerland as examples with restrictive immigration policies and self-sufficiency requirements. Denmark, for instance, is highlighted for its stringent residency rules and crime data transparency on migrants. He contrasts Ireland’s relatively permissive approach to immigration with these models, discussing the Kalergi Plan as a shorthand for a demographic strategy, and argues there has been a deliberate, years-long push to alter European demographics, partly framed by climate discourse and social narratives. - Climate narrative and AI: Cummins notes perceived weaknesses in the climate-change narrative, acknowledging growing awareness and industry signals that climate policies may be economically unsustainable. He predicts data centers and AI infrastructure will continue to drive energy demand, while asserting AI is a tool with significant rote-task capability but no true sentience. He argues the public is increasingly skeptical about climate catastrophism, while acknowledging the real-world shift toward data-driven, centralized control. Solutions and events - Awareness and education are repeatedly stressed as essential first steps. Cummins envisions a non-conspiratorial, docudrama-style approach to explain power politics and history, aiming to reach a mass audience with credible, non-fringe framing. - Concrete steps discussed include focusing on Denmark-like models for immigration policy, local and national political engagement (email campaigns to MPs, peaceful in-person events like Ireland’s IRL forum), and media reform initiatives to counterbalance globalist influence. - He promotes practical financial preparedness (physical gold and silver) as protective measures amid expected market volatility and potential fiat-currency depreciation. Closing note - The interview ends with a reiteration to avoid seed oils, stay awake, and engage in informed civic action. The speakers emphasize a broad, systemic view of health, governance, and technology, urging proactive public discourse and engagement to influence policy directions.

But by the 1970s there's a significant shift that hoped to prevent chronic illnesses like heart disease. Now, emerging science determined that the food we've been eating for hundreds of thousands of years, red meat, saturated fat, and cholesterol, were now killing us. And as a result of this, today we now weigh 30 more on average and heart disease is the leading cause of death. And before you jump the gun and say that's all about excess calories, the 1941 dietary guidelines recommended that an adult male weighing a hundred and fifty five pounds should consume 3,000 calories per day. But the real problem is that since 1960, our consumption of processed foods, seed oils, and rich grains, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, and pesticides has gone up. And oddly, our beef consumption has gone down 40%. So maybe we got it all wrong.

Our diet has shifted from natural to highly processed, with added sugar, highly processed grains, and seed oils being new additions. Added sugar has increased significantly in the last century, particularly for children. Highly processed grains lack fiber and nutrients, turning into glucose bombs. Seed oils, like car grease, were introduced in 1909 as a cheap alternative to healthy fats. This change has led us to consume inflammatory fats instead of anti-inflammatory ones.

The transcript discusses seed oils as a major health risk and part of a so-called “devil’s triad” contributing to obesity and diabetes. It asserts that a large share of U.S. adults over 45 are prediabetic or diabetic—64% by some data, rising to 75–78% if insulin use were measured—and claims that removing three factors—sugars, refined grains or refined tweeds, and seed oils—would eliminate the obesity and diabetes epidemics; pharmaceutical companies would suffer as a result. Seed oils are described as being extracted with hexane and solvents under very high temperature and pressure in chemical plants. What are marketed as heart-healthy golden vegetable oils (sunflower, safflower, and other seed oils) are said to be processed with high temperature and pressure, resulting in oils that are very high in omega-6 fats, which are suggested to be inflammatory signal molecules and should only be eaten in tiny amounts as calories. The speaker claims Americans get about 15% of their calories from seed oils, versus a recommended less than 0.5%; this is described as 30 times the evolutionary level and very damaging. Further, the process is criticized for hydrogenation, damage to molecular structures, deodorization, bleaching, and coloring to give a desirable appearance and scent, after which the oils are sold. The speaker asserts that hydrogenation and processing produce “rank grey rancid muck,” and that people would be repulsed by the initial oil before deodorization. The transcript asserts that seed oils are extremely damaging in quantity, especially in processed foods, while refined carbohydrates are also highly damaging. It cites studies from the late 1990s on rat models comparing seed oils with beef tallow and lard, finding major increases in tumorigenesis and tumor growth when seed oils were included at 3–4% of the diet. It claims that from around 1993 to 1999, studies increasingly showed that seed oils drive cancer if consumed above three to four percent, but that around 1998–1999 the system stopped these findings after calls were made. The speaker concludes: “All the evidence is there. That's the tip of the iceberg. Don't touch them.”

Seed oils are prevalent in processed foods and are considered highly unhealthy. They are cheap due to heavy subsidies, but their consumption is linked to serious health issues, including widespread inflammation. This inflammation can negatively impact overall health, making seed oils one of the worst dietary choices. Avoiding them is challenging, as they are commonly found in many food products.

Many heavily processed, unhealthy foods contain sugars, artificial additives, and are low in fiber and high in salt. Seed oils are often consumed through these unhealthy foods in both the UK and the US, which is a cause for concern. While it's true that many foods containing seed oils are unhealthy, the speaker disagrees with the idea that the seed oil itself is the primary cause of the unhealthiness. It's important to distinguish between the seed oil and the overall health impact of the processed foods in which they are found.

A dietitian on the Diary of a CEO podcast claimed there's no evidence seed oils are harmful and that they're actually beneficial. This contradicts studies like the Sydney Diet Heart Study, the Minnesota Coronary Experiment, and the Rose Corn Oil Study, which suggest replacing saturated fat with seed oils leads to worse health outcomes, increased mortality, and increased cardiovascular disease. Proponents claim seed oils reduce inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity, and are heart healthy, while opponents argue the opposite: that they increase inflammation, induce insulin resistance, and contribute to cardiovascular disease. The process of making canola oil involves grinding seeds, heating them, treating them with the neurotoxin hexane, then bleaching and deodorizing the rancid oil. This process, along with high-temperature cooking, creates inflammatory compounds. The speaker prefers using ghee and tallow for cooking instead of seed oils.

Seed oils such as canola, corn, and soybean are ultra-processed and high in unstable omega-6 fats. Heating or prolonged storage causes them to oxidize, creating free radicals that lead to oxidative stress, damaging proteins, cells, and DNA. These oils also promote chronic inflammation by disrupting the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, leading to inflammation in the gut, brain, joints, and blood vessels. Seed oils worsen insulin resistance, damage mitochondria, and accelerate aging. Their increased use in food production has contributed to rising rates of obesity, heart disease, and metabolic dysfunction. Companies use them because they are inexpensive and extend shelf life, but they negatively impact health.

The most typical food sources of omega-six fatty acids are seed oils, which have become controversial. The speaker believes not all seed oils are bad or inflammatory, nor are they the major cause of metabolic dysfunction. However, people are consuming more oil generally, including oils with omega-six fatty acids, many of which are seed oils. The relevant omega-six fatty acid for the discussion is linoleic acid, common in many seed oils. The speaker reiterates that they are not claiming seed oils are inherently bad.

Before 1950, heart disease was rare and obesity affected less than 10% of Americans. Procter and Gamble had a waste product, cottonseed oil, which they hydrogenated and named Crisco. They then gave the American Heart Association $1,700,000. Subsequently, butter became the enemy, and seed oils were considered heart healthy. Hospitals replaced butter with margarine, and home cooks swapped lard for vegetable oil. Within a generation, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease rates increased dramatically.

Speaker 0 raises concern about seed oils. "Seed oils are one of the most unhealthy ingredients that we have in foods." "Seed oils, The reason they're in the foods is because they're heavily subsidized. They're very very cheap but they are associated with all kinds of very very serious illnesses including body wide inflammation Right. Which affects all of our health. It's one of the worst things you can eat, and it's almost impossible to avoid." "If you eat any processed food, you're gonna be eating seed oil." The speaker emphasizes the prevalence of seed oils in processed foods today.

Seed oils, extracted from seeds like soybeans, corn, and sunflowers, are now staples in cooking and processed foods. Concerns have arisen about their impact on health, with claims that they cause inflammation, weight gain, and heart disease. Unlike olive oil, which comes from fruit and contains monounsaturated fats, seed oils generally have higher levels of polyunsaturated omega-6 fats, such as linoleic acid. Omega-6 is essential and must be obtained from foods like nuts, seeds, meat, and eggs. The central question is whether the increased consumption of seed oils is detrimental to health.

Seed oils such as canola, corn, and soybean are ultra-processed and high in unstable omega-6 fats that oxidize when heated or stored for extended periods. This oxidation creates free radicals, leading to oxidative stress that damages proteins, cells, and DNA. Seed oils also promote chronic inflammation by disrupting the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, which can cause inflammation in the gut, brain, joints, and blood vessels. Consumption of seed oils worsens insulin resistance, damages mitochondria, and accelerates aging. The increased use of seed oils in food production has contributed to rising rates of obesity, heart disease, and metabolic dysfunction. Companies continue to use them due to their low cost and ability to extend shelf life, despite the negative health consequences.
