Speaker 0: I thought it'd be great to just kind of look at some of these items because parents are encountering these food items in grocery stores everywhere. Maybe we could just start right here with seed oils. We're hearing a lot about seed oils. Why should people be worried about these kind of products? Speaker 1: "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 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 late 1800s, cottonseed and corn oil became popular as cooking oils due to new extraction methods. Procter and Gamble's Crisco, made from cottonseed oil, was heavily marketed as a healthier alternative to animal fats. The American Heart Association promoted vegetable oils over saturated fats in the 1960s to prevent heart disease, despite limited evidence. This led to a significant increase in vegetable oil consumption, making it the most significant dietary change in history. Today, a third of our diet consists of oils from factories.

After working on political campaigns, the speaker learned that the food industry, specifically the processed food industry, was created by the cigarette industry. In the 1990s, facing scrutiny, RJ Reynolds and Philip Morris used their cash to buy food companies. These companies shifted scientists from making cigarettes addictive to creating ultra-processed foods. They also transferred their lobbying playbook to the food sector, influencing institutions to promote the food pyramid, which advocated for carbs and sugar. This led to a significant shift in the American diet towards ultra-processed foods, now comprising 70% of a child's diet. These foods contain ingredients designed to be addictive, leading to increased calorie consumption and health issues. The foundation of this diet consists of added sugars, processed grains, and seed oils. Seed oils, now the top source of American calories, were initially a byproduct of oil production and promoted for human consumption despite being inflammatory. The speaker claims the food industry aims to make food cheap and addictive, not to harm Americans.

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.

Type two diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and dementia are largely related to diet and lifestyle, not primarily genetics. Humans evolved to store energy due to constant hunger, but this metabolism is now maladaptive in an environment of highly processed carbohydrates and minimal exercise. This leads to weight gain and chronic diseases. Modern lifestyles, characterized by traffic jams, processed foods, and sedentary work, exacerbate these issues, contributing to childhood obesity and other health problems. Instead of focusing on prevention, society often seeks solutions through medication. Rapid changes in diet and lifestyle over recent decades are driving epidemics of obesity, dementia, and cancer.

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.

The most important thing is changing our diet because it's full of starch, sugar, refined oils, additives, pesticides, herbicides, emulsifiers, thickeners, additives, and sweeteners, causing inflammation. Gluten is a huge inflammatory food because of the way we change our wheat production. Dwarf wheat has way more gluten proteins, starch, and sugar, so it's more inflammatory. Heirloom gluten foods like farro, triticale, kemet, emmer wheat, einkorn wheat, and zea wheat may be better if you don't have celiac disease and may not cause the same level of inflammation. Dairy creates congestion, digestive issues, allergies, acne, and generalized inflammation. Sugar is a huge factor by its effect on laying down belly fat. Adipocytes, fat cells, produce cytokines, inflammatory molecules that create inflammation.

The processed food industry has discovered methods to make food addictive while removing its nutritional value. People are addicted to the synthesized taste of these foods, which lack nutrients. The result is consumption of unhealthy food filled with laboratory-created chemicals that the body is not designed to metabolize.

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.

I believe these seed oils are making us fat. This correlation is too much to ignore. Over the same time period, obesity rates went from around eleven point nine percent to over forty three percent in The United States. Obesity and overweight is now over seventy percent of The US population. Correlation is not causation, but it is important to note that interventional studies with seed oils show an increase in linoleic acid from seed oils in the human diet causes increased oxidative stress and decreased nitric oxide precursors. It's also interesting to note that in the last four hundred years, meat and animal fat consumption has gone down. Meat and animal fat are not the cause of your obesity and chronic illness. Get rid of these if you want to thrive.

Seed or vegetable oils, including canola, safflower, and soybean oil, are now in the mainstream spotlight due to concerns about ultra-processed foods. These oils are used in 90% of supermarket foods and in most restaurants for cooking, flavoring, and texturing. Canola oil was originally an engine lubricant, and cottonseed oil was used to make soap. The refining process involves washing with chemical solvents like hexane, heating to high temperatures causing oxidation, and then bleaching and deodorizing to mask rancidity. The bottled oil continues to break down on the shelf and oxidizes further during cooking, resulting in an unstable, inflammatory substance that is claimed to be heart healthy.

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.

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.

"If you wanted to make a perfect food to get people addicted, overweight, and sick, you'd create ultra processed food." "It's not just unhealthy. It's literally engineered to hijack your biology." "This leads to chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and nutrient deficiencies." "The mix of refined carbs, fats, and sugar you find in processed foods, that combination doesn't exist in nature." "Your brain is not wired to handle it. It lights up your reward center in your brain like a slot machine, causing overeating and unending cravings." "Some of these foods even contain additives that suppress your hunger and fullness signals, so you literally don't know when you've had enough." "This isn't food. It's an engineered product."

It's nearly impossible to find non-processed healthy food in a regular grocery store because 75% of the store is processed sugar and seed oils. Fried banana chips, local fried corn treats, roasted nuts, tortillas, yogurts, flavored milks, and energy drinks are full of seed oils and processed sugar. The speaker asks, where are the animal fats? The meat counter is about the only spot in the whole store where you can easily avoid processed sugars and seed oils. This is why so many people are sick and unhealthy.

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.

The most important thing is changing our diet, which is currently high in starch, sugar, and refined oils, and full of additives, pesticides, herbicides, emulsifiers, thickeners, and sweeteners, causing inflammation. Gluten is a huge inflammatory food because of changes in wheat production. Dwarf wheat in America has more gluten proteins, starch, and sugar, making it more inflammatory. Heirloom gluten foods like Barrow, Triticale, Kemet, Emmerweed, Einkornweed, and Zayo wheat may be better if you don't have celiac disease. Dairy is another big inflammatory food, creating congestion, digestive issues, allergies, acne, and generalized inflammation. Sugar is also a huge factor because it causes belly fat. Adipocytes, or fat cells, produce cytokines, inflammatory molecules that create inflammation.

Seed oils and processed foods are detrimental to health, necessitating dietary changes. Oxidative stress from smoking poisons the body for 6-12 months after quitting, while consuming seed oils poisons the body for approximately three years after just one serving. These oils are not suitable as fuel like other fats. Seed oils damage mitochondria, leading to insulin resistance, fatty liver, obesity, heart disease, and increased cancer risk.

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.
