Manage episode 486815514 series 3529452
If your patients are going through the social media rabbit holes about seed oils, you’re not alone. Claims like “pro-inflammatory” and “unhealthy,” are gaining traction—and showing up in the exam room. In this episode we tackle the seed oil confusion head-on. I’m joined by registered dietitian Charlotte Martin, spokesperson for the Soy Connection, to break down the science behind the most common claims.
What You’ll Learn:
- What exactly is a “seed oil”
- The processing seed oils undergo and what science says about hexane
- Whether seed oils cause inflammation
- What to say when patients ask about omega-6 to omega-3 ratios
- Whether cooking with seed oils is unsafe
- Why the “ancestral diet” argument doesn’t hold up
- How to shift the conversation away from fear and toward what actually matters for health
Science, sanity, and solid talking points and resources—so you can address misinformation without shutting down the conversation.
Resources:
