About this episode

Dr. Josh Axe discusses the controversies surrounding seed oils and their impact on health.

For decades, Americans were told to replace butter with seed oils. Then the internet swung the other direction and declared seed oils a “mitochondrial toxin.” But what if both sides are missing the real problem? In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe breaks down the seed oil debate using the studies on both sides — including data showing higher linoleic acid intake was associated with 15% lower cardiovascular deaths and 21% lower heart disease, while other trials suggest replacing saturated fat with omega-6-rich oils may increase cardiovascular risk.
