In this episode, I go through the evidence that seed oils cause oxidative stress. In short, there isn't any, even when the oils are heated to extremely high temperatures for long periods of time (PMID 17406809). Evidence strongly demonstrates that seed oils are not inflammatory in humans (PMID 29043006), indicating that they do not cause the cellular or tissue injuries often claimed that they do. Finally, the observational evidence shows a strong relationship between vegetable oil intake and better health outcomes (PMID 26148920). I place all of these findings in context and explain them. I also explain: the point is not to recommend higher vegetable oil intake but to debunk the paranoid and poorly supported view that they are the cause of the West's obesity and chronic disease woes.
