Seed Oils: The Link to Inflammation and Chronic Disease | Episode 31


Listen Later

In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we take a closer look at seed oils—highly refined oils like soybean, corn, canola, and sunflower—that have become staples in the modern diet. While often marketed as “heart-healthy,” these oils may actually be fueling chronic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction.

We explore how the dramatic rise in omega-6 linoleic acid intake has shifted our omega balance from an ancestral 1:1 ratio to modern levels as high as 20:1—creating a perfect storm for oxidative stress, inflammation, and disease. You'll also learn about oxidized linoleic acid metabolites (OxLAMs) and how they damage tissues at the cellular level.
