For over 100 years, they’ve known that seed oils will drop you into an early grave. I went over this in my recent column here.
They’ve known all along, even as it was happening over the past 50 years, exactly what was causing the massive explosion of what author Daniel Trever refers to as “diabesity” in the United States.
It is a legitimate question why harmful and toxic seed oils were allowed to increase throughout the modern US food industry, even though many nations abroad do not allow US-produced food into their countries. Local food industries in many countries cannot put seed oils, additives, preservatives, and other chemicals into their products.
. . . If it were true that seed oils were healthier, the clinical trial would have shown that Cardiovascular Disease [CVD] and heart problems decreased in the trial participants. The death rate among the men should have trended downward.
Instead, over the seven years of the trial, the scientists observed the rate of death caused by CVD and heart issues increased. The hoped-for and expected reduction of heart issues and the death rate did not materialize.
Here is the published paper from the Sydney Diet Heart Study from 1966-1973:
Hospitals are the new Death Camps. Disguised as angels.
Doctors are baffled.
I found this substack a little vague and confusing. I found this article, which sheds a bit more light on the subject with respect to which ones are bad and which are good: https://drcate.com/seed-oils-questions-answers-for-your-health/
Thanks for the link!
I'll see your link and raise you Food: What the Heck Should I Eat -- The no-nonsense guide to achieving optimal weight and lifelong health by Mark Hyman, MD, which includes, on pp 168 - 170 of the hardback edition, a discussion of oils and lists of those he recommends eating, recommends avoiding, and a few that can go either way.
Hyman's list of oils to avoid has much overlap with Dr. Shanahan's, but there are some differences.
