In this episode of the Plant-Based Canada Podcast, I dive into the recent review of the seed oil research that my colleagues and I published in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition.
We discuss:
- Why seed oils have become the villain.
- Whether seed oils cause inflammation.
- Why some studies suggest harm while others suggest benefit.
- Whether heating/cooking with oils creates toxic compounds.
- How seed oils are processed.
- And much more!
