‘Vegetable’ oil makes you exceedingly vulnerable to cancer.  Every extra mouthful of vegetable oil you consume takes you one step closer to a deadly (and irreversible) outcome.”

With these words David Gillespie begins his new book Toxic Oil, in which he explains that our bodies are not adapted to eat the standard modern diet of polyunsaturated fats. In today's episode we help listeners understand our complex biochemistry and how the industrial replacement of fats with cheap man-made alternatives is having a detrimental impact on our health.

David Gillespie takes us on a journey to understand seed oils and the impact that they can have on our health as well as providing us with alternatives to make healthier choices.
