PAP 116: So Seed Oils Are OK Now???? With Cyndi O'Meara


Listen Later

In this episode of the Primal Alternative Podcast, host Helen Marshall dives into the confusing world of seed oils and the surprising new stance from Whole30 on their consumption. Helen felt unsettled after reading that seed oils, long criticised in many health circles, were now being promoted by Whole30—and knew she had to reach out to trusted expert Cyndi O’Meara to get some clarity.

Cyndi O’Meara, founder of The Nutrition Academy and author of Lab to Table, joins Helen to unravel the complex narratives surrounding seed oils and new developments in the food industry. In this episode, they explore:

  • Whole30’s surprising promotion of vegetable oils—what’s behind it?
  • The buzz around Zero Acre Oil, a new alternative to conventional seed oils.
  • Why Melissa Urban, founder of Whole30, may have distanced herself from Zero Acre Oil.
  • CSIRO’s role in the conversation and the rise of synthetic biology—what is it, and why should we care?
  • Bill Gates’ latest venture: creating a fat from coal—how does it fit into the bigger picture?
  • Cyndi’s guiding philosophies of Vitalism and Historical Perspective, helping us navigate these confusing times with empowerment instead of fear.
  • This episode is a must-listen if you’ve been feeling confused or concerned about the food industry’s latest shifts and the reintroduction of products like seed oils into ‘healthy’ diets. Cyndi’s thoughtful insights offer clarity and practical advice on how to stay informed and make the best choices for your health.

    Tune in to hear Helen and Cyndi break down these topics and provide empowering strategies to navigate our modern food system with confidence.
