I avoid seed oils.

I don't like the way they taste.

I love olive oil.

And there's some health effects of olive oil.

And I eat small amounts of butter.

And so I just like duck the whole controversy, right?

And you have to make sure you're getting real olive oil, but that can be done.

When you look at the studies that compare saturated fat to seed oils, you do see better outcomes for seed oils.

But then there's this crowd that comes in and says, but that's on a backdrop of reasonably high carbohydrate intake.

When you start replacing some of those carbohydrates with

lower carbohydrate diet, increasing protein intake.

So not keto, but kind of like lower-ish starch and sugar, then maybe that balances out, okay.

But the big contention seems to be around the processing of these seed oils.

This idea that when, especially when you make things like chips, that when you take fats and you combine them with carbohydrate and you heat them up a lot, that you create factors that are not good for the body.

What is the evidence for or against that?

Are you a fan of flaxseed oil?

Is there any reason to – I just can't find the argument for why anyone would replace olive oil with a seed oil.

I wouldn't eat anything fried.

So you're not seed oil averse, nor are you pro-seed oil, is what I'm hearing.

Yeah.
