“Fed A Lie” (Nov 2024) exposes how seed oils—marketed for decades as “heart-healthy”—have fueled the rise of obesity and chronic disease. Featuring Paul Saladino MD, Nina Teicholz PhD, Chris Knobbe MD, and athlete Bethany Hamilton 🏄🏼, the film reveals the history, science, and industry influence behind these industrial oils and urges a return to real, ancestral, nutrient-dense foods.

Industrial seed oils are highly processed, chemically fragile oils overloaded with Omega-6 fats that oxidize easily and flood modern diets through packaged and restaurant foods. Their damaged compounds and extreme Omega-6 imbalance drive inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic dysfunction. This article exposes how these oils are made, why we overconsume them, and healthier fats to choose instead.

Canola oil is a type of vegetable oil derived from the seeds of the canola plant, a member of the Brassica family. The evolution of canola from a niche crop to a global staple is due to Canadian researchers having transformed an engine lubricant into a source of "artificial nutrition" for consumers worldwide. As you consume the canola oil next time, remember the peculiar history of how Canada convinced the world to embrace a crop that once lubricated engines but now nourishes

🧪 Once used in soap and candles, seed oils like soy, canola, and corn now saturate nearly every packaged food on the market. Marketed as “heart healthy,” these ultra-processed oils are cheap, inflammatory, and never meant for human consumption. It’s time to rebel against what’s really in your food.

Dr. Chris Knobbe links the surge in chronic diseases—like obesity and diabetes—to the rise of seed oil consumption. From 1922–1987, obesity rose 600% while seed oil intake jumped from 78 to 497 calories/day. Seed oils damage metabolism, promote inflammation, and are nutrient-poor. Once used as machine oil, they now make up ⅓ of U.S. calories. To avoid them: skip packaged foods, eat whole foods, and cook with healthy fats like butter or olive oil.

Hundreds of thousands of diners are talking about INGREDIENTS used in restaurant food on this new app called "Seed Oil Scout". This app offers full menu breakdowns for national chains and nearly 20K restaurant ratings nationwide. Using this app, you can avoid restaurants using industrially processed seed oils, locate the restaurants which are seed oil free, and find local, organic grass-fed and wild foods near you.

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.

A new study suggests vegetarians are about twice as likely to experience depression as meat-eaters. Contributing factors may include not just nutrition, but social isolation, guilt over animal welfare, and demographic trends. Depression may also lead some people to adopt vegetarianism rather than result from it.

CORN, SOY, CANOLA, PEANUT, GRAPE SEED, COTTON SEED, SUNFLOWER OILS and the solid MARGARINE made out of these oils contain high quantities...

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.
