Industrial seed oils dominate today's food supply, yet few people understand how they are made or why they've become controversial. Learn how seed oils are extracted, refined, and oxidized, why excessive Omega-6 intake matters, how they differ from traditional fats, and which oils are more stable. Discover how informed fat choices can reduce exposure to oxidized oils and support long-term metabolic health.

Seed oils such as soybean, corn, canola, sunflower, and cottonseed oil are rich in linoleic acid, an omega-6 polyunsaturated fat.

At Comfort Keto, we choose minimally processed oils that are stable and have stood the test of

For decades, vegetable oils have been promoted as healthy alternatives to animal fats. This presentation explores their history, rise in consumption, manufacturing process, and potential health concerns. Drawing on the work of Nina Teicholz and others, it examines the role of nutrition policy, the American Heart Association, oxidation products, mitochondrial health, hidden research data, and why the debate over seed oils remains controversial today.

Industrial seed oils now account for nearly one-third of calories consumed in the American diet, while chronic diseases affect approximately 60% of adults and account for roughly 90% of healthcare spending. In this interview with Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Chris Knobbe explores the possible relationship between rising seed oil consumption and today's chronic disease epidemic, along with practical steps for reducing exposure to industrial seed oils.

Vegetable oils like canola, soy, and corn are highly processed, oxidize when heated, and promote inflammation—raising the risk of heart disease, cancer, and dementia.
