🧪 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.

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.

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.
