The Truth About Seed Oils: Master Phil in YourCorner EP153

Master Phil conducted an interview with Cherie(Sherry Kalbaum) about her book "The Truth About Seed Oils" for his podcast "Master Phil in Your Corner." Cherie, who has a Master of Science degree in Nutrition and has authored 36 books, explained how seed oils (vegetable oils) are processed using high heat and toxic chemicals like hexane,making them inflammatory and potentially harmful to health. She discussed how these oils are linked to various health issues including heart disease, cancer, obesity, and mental health problems due to an imbalance between omega-6 andomega-3 fatty acids. Cherie recommended avoiding processed seed oils like canola and soy, and suggested using cold-pressed oils such as olive, avocado, and sesame oil for cooking. She also recommended increasing omega-3 intakethrough foods like salmon, krill oil, flaxseed, and walnuts to counteract the excess omega-6 consumption from processed foods. The conversation covered how restaurants are beginning to make changes toward healthier oils, with examples like Steak and Shake switching to beef tallow, and Master Phil and Cherie discussed the importance of reading labels and using apps like Yuka and Seed Oil Scout to identify harmful ingredients in foods.
