The Great Seed Oil Debate: Sorting Facts from Fearmongering

Are seed oils destroying your health… or are they unfairly demonized?

Depending on which corner of the internet you land in, seed oils are either the liquid embodiment of evil or a perfectly fine “heart healthy” fat. So, who’s right? And more importantly, how do you make sense of all this noise?

 

In this week’s Monday Mile, Coach Kevin breaks down the real*story behind seed oils in a way that’s simple, clear, and (yes) a little entertaining. You’ll learn:

  • What seed oils actually are and how they became so common in our diets
  • Why Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids matter - and why the ratio is more important than either on its own
  • The surprising role processed foods play in our seed oil overload\
  • Whether you should avoid seed oils completely - or just cut back
  • Smarter swaps you can make in your kitchen for better long-term health

 

Bottom line? No single food is the villain, but the way we overconsume seed oils in processed foods is a problem - especially if you’re after strong, healthy aging.

 

Tune in for a balanced perspective that cuts through the fearmongering and helps you make better food choices without losing your mind.
