The Seed Oil Lie: What Every Family Needs to Know | Ep 94


Listen Later

Seed oils are everywhere, from chips and crackers to “heart healthy” salad dressings. But what are they really doing to our bodies? In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with Dr. Cate Shanahan, physician, researcher, and author of Deep Nutrition, to uncover why she calls them the “Hateful Eight” and how families can begin to swap them out for better fats.

✨ Topics We Cover:

  • The link between seed oils, inflammation, and disease

  • Why saturated fats are more stable than polyunsaturated fats

  • The “Hateful Eight” oils to memorize and avoid

  • How seed oils are made and why that matters

  • Olive oil, avocado oil, and cooking myths

  • Everyday tips for ditching hidden seed oils

    Dr. Shanahan has spent over two decades researching the science of fats and nutrition. Her insights challenge decades of conventional dietary advice and give moms practical tools for feeding their families with confidence.

        Correction: We apologize for the mistake. Siete is not the brand that uses seed oils. They use avocado oil. The brand I (Corey) meant to say was Garden of Eaten'. Thank you for your understanding.
