Seed Oil Avoidance Movement

The seed oil avoidance movement demonizes canola, soybean, and sunflower oils as inflammatory triggers, but evidence shows they contain 35% less saturated fat than animal fats like butter. While excessive omega-6 intake can be problematic, the movement's absolutist stance ignores a 2022 AHA study linking seed oils to 12% lower heart disease risk compared to saturated fats. Cheaper than the typical olive-oil-rich Mediterranean diet, but 40% less rigorous in scientific backing than #3 Intermittent Fasting, per nutrition researchers.
