Professor Richard Bazinet, who studies how fat fuels our brains at the University of Toronto, says online discourse about seed oils being the 'root of all evil' has exploded since 2020. 'People are coming out and saying, 'Hey, the government's lying to you.' Saturated fats are good for you. Seed oils are actually what's killing you, causing cancer.' This alarming rhetoric often overshadows the more nuanced reality regarding dietary oils and their effects on health.
Nutrition experts say the discourse around so-called seed oils stokes unnecessary fear, obscuring the truth about what is already well-established about how to eat to promote human health and longevity. The narrative that vilifies seed oils fails to take into account the historical context of how fats have been used and understood in nutrition science, which is often more complex than the simplified arguments presented by some influencers.
