It's important to remember that if this were the 80s, a well-informed consumer would say the same thing about margarine vs. butter.
Turns out we were tragically wrong about that, causing tens, perhaps hundreds, of millions to suffer in old age and die prematurely.
So if I saw some mild evidence, like most nutrition scientists retiring, that the industry has reformed, that would be one thing.
As it is? I think they're lying, from Doing My Own Research™, but your mileage may vary. The important part is that you'd be a fool to trust the industry consensus with your own health.
- feet 4y agoOkay but I specifically asked what is wrong with it, can you cite any sources?
- wil421 4y agoThe only sources they will site are a few doctors with popular books. I’ve read a few of them and they can help you lose some weight. After reading the books based on some internet persons suggestion I realized there’s controversy. Some say it’s junk science pushed by snake oil doctors others says it’s the next scientific revolution. One fact remains, heart disease has gone way down and obesity has gone way up.
- hombre_fatal 4y agoThe whole seed oils thing just seems like a twitter fad/meme. Can anyone share some promising literature? When I search for it, I just see studies about PUFA (polyunsaturated fats) benefits where they seem to always use canola oil (like swapping saturated fats for canola oil) to show benefits. Yet overnight it seems like popular twitter accounts and podcasters have echoed seed oils = bad.
