Seed oil is not bad for you?? At this point, we need a panel discussion with all of these scientists, biochemist, and nutritionists. Also, we need to know who all these people are sponsored by or paid by because that makes the difference in the message or their so-called narrative!
I am a 55 year old woman who had some joint pain. I cut out seed oils and the pain was reduced in one month and completely gone within 3 months. I have to trust my specific experience.
She's part of that food company that you invested in. Got it.
Dr Jason Fung was an extraordinary guest ,which could not be any clearer.Because of him I reclaimed my health and fitness back and avoided hip replacement surgery.Dr Berry does not appear to elaborate in the mechanism of absorption, glucose fluctuations etc...
Now Dr. Eric Berg must be the next guest to review this interview. Period!
I am in a position as a retited ceo of a foodservice company to confide in your readers that a senior exec of a well known company producing oils and margarine products quote: " if you knew what goes into manufacturing these products you would stay away from anything with highly processed and deodorized oil products.
🚨For deeper nuance on seed oils, please read this comment (from a PhD Scientist in Metabolism, Oxford and Harvard Medical School) - Based on the emails and direct messages I’ve received since this episode was released I think there are some matters of confusion that deserve clarification regarding “seed oils” and omega-6 and 3 fats. First, it’s important not to equate “seed oils,” which is a rather fluffy term, with omega-6 fats. Needless to say, french fry oil and a walnut are not the same. I agree with the guest on the whole that Omega-6 fear mongering is overblown. However, it’s incorrect to suggest there are no issues with respect to omega-6 or “seed oil” consumption. The discussion starting at ~1:02:00 is overly dismissive, in my opinion and rather condescending. First there are data suggesting an Omega-6/3 imbalance can directly cause inflammation & metabolic dysfunction. Such studies are actually best done in genetically modified mice since the key omega-6 and 3 are essential nutrients that can’t be synthesized by the body; thus, you need to change other components of the diet to manipulate ratios in humans. Also - and CRITICALLY - it’s practically not possible to conduct the sorts of long-term RCTs one would need to detect a clinically meaningful difference that may result as a function of changing tissue/organ ratios of omega-6/3 ratios in humans. Such trials would need to last many months or even years. Thus, with respect to what’s considered “top tier evidence” there is a deficiency of data. That’s true. However, neither it’s a matter of “absence of (long-term RCT) is not absence of evidence (or harm.” If you’d like more thoughts on seed oils, please see this video: https://youtu.be/0eMguvxWWf4. I think anyone who takes the time to watch will agree there is more nuance in this topic than the podcast discussion reviews. I’d be more than happy to dialogue long-form with the host or guest. I’ve had a listen to most of the episode and agree with many comments from the guest, but would also offer a different perspective on some matters, like the causative role (or lack thereof) of calories in obesity and the legitimacy of the “in moderation” approach.
Love that The Diary of a CEO explores a wide range of perspectives on various topics, allowing the audience to decide for themselves what to believe. It's also refreshing to see the comment section filled with thoughtful discussions—people are smarter than we sometimes give them credit for!
UNBELIEVABLE there are still people like her promoting seed oils!
I appreciate what Steve is trying to do - neutral journalism that allows both sides to speak. Clearly the public is making up its own mind about the truth, seeing by the comments. This is how journalism should be.
This is like saying bread is not bad for you. Without distinguishing between a sourdough and a McDonald’s bun. McDonald’s bun full of emulsifiers and seed oils, sourdough is just flour water and salt. You can’t blanket cover bread like that and call it healthy. If you consume extra virgin olive oil cold pressed and not heated, extremely healthy, but if you consume sunflower oil not only is it heated and damaged, to extract it along with chemical treatment to deodorise it. Then further heated and damaged when cooked into a cake or other ultra processed food. This damaged oil does not fit your cells properly for energy, cholesterol raises to make it fit. Along side that it is high in omega 6 which if you consume more than a 4:1 ratio of omega 6 to 3 you will be put into a pro inflammatory state. This means sunflower oil is 40:1 so for every 40 grams you would need to eat 10 grams of omega 3 that’s about 250g (3 salmon fillets) or 5x the dose of a fish oil capsule.
Wow, nobody is buying this! I am glad I took the time to read some of the comments.
Yes Seed Oil is not bad for you just like Sugar, Tobacco and Alcohol.
1:00:00 she talks about correlation is not causation for seed oils but then goes on to say seed oils are better than tallow because they reduce cholesterol, which is correlated with heart attacks. Can't have it both ways.
You need to do an interview with Dr berg. Bro he’s a legend in health
today i am pleased with humanity reading the comments? (that is a NO to so-called seed oils)
Guys! You don't uderstand? She is right, seed oils are perfectly fine and good for you! As long as you leave it on the shelf at the grocery store and don't touch it under any circumstances, everything will be fine. 😊
q.e.d. … Dr. Sarah Berry serves as the Chief Scientist at ZOE, a health testing and membership service that provides personalized nutrition advice. Steven Bartlett is an investor in ZOE through his investment vehicle, Flight Fund. Additionally, ZOE sponsors Bartletts podcast, The Diary of a CEO, where Dr. Berry has appeared as a guest. This indicates a business connection between Dr. Berry and Bartlett through their association with ZOE.
When I went to the doctors about high blood pressure they told me to eat less salt and recommended the food pyramid, where you don’t eat much of red meats etc. over the next 4/5 years my blood pressure increased more. 2 yrs ago I started carnivore lifestyle, where I eat a lot of red fatty meats, eggs and more salt than I’ve ever had before. My blood pressure has reduced dramatically and I am now 7st lighter. Cholesterol all good. When I hear people talk about the importance of fibre and not eating much saturated fat , it rings alarm bells for me. I would recommend getting Dr Zoe Harcombe on for contrasting opinions on these topics
