The theories in seed oils aren't new, at all Omega6s are necessary. Absolutely. But we're not meant to consume pufa's at the level we do The poison is the dose. Even omega3s which are great for you, can give you heart arrhythmias. While omega3 is typically protective of the cardiovascular system, 4-7g of EPA can cause heart issues is taken for sustained periods. Seed oils (canola, soybean oil,stuff like Crisco, grapeseed oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, sun flower oil etc) are high in omega6s in a way you could never get in nature. In fact most couldn't exist without modern industry. Most of it is industrial byproduct repuroosed to maximize profits. And its in everything. If you shop for any processed foods - boxed foods, potato chips, crackers, most granola and cereals, most breads (excluding butter breads), salad dressings, sauces and pre-made marinades, it's in everything. In fact, factory farming changed what they feed chickens, pigs and cows and radically increased the omega6s in those as well (grass fed beef withstanding) companies have risen up to make alternative foods (Primal Kitchen being one) The dangers of our high seed oil intake has been of concern for decades. And it's well studied. If I wasn't typing from my phone I'd link to studies.
