This post explores how metabolic damage and inflammation—fueled by harmful seed oils—drive chronic diseases like autoimmunity, diabetes, and cancer. Dr. Cate Shanahan highlights the dangers of refined polyunsaturated seed oils (the “Hateful Eight”) found in processed foods, which promote inflammation and disrupt metabolism. She advocates returning to traditional, stable fats like butter, ghee, and olive oil to restore health and immunity.

Most supermarket and fast food oils—like soy, corn, and canola—are industrially processed seed oils high in omega-6 fats, especially linoleic acid, which contributes to inflammation, heart disease, and even cancer. These harmful oils are hidden in nearly all processed foods. The solution? Ditch seed oils and choose clean, natural fats that nourish your body and support your health.
