So a seed oil is an oil from a seed. So the most common seed oils in the UK is rapeseed oil, which is also known as canola oil in the US and many other countries, followed by sunflower oil.

And there's about three or four arguments that people use to say that Cedars are bad for us. And if you go on social media, I mean, this is a perfect example of night and day between scientific evidence and what's on social media. If you go on social media, Cedars are toxic. Cedars are going to give you Alzheimer's. Cedars are going to give you cancer. Cedars are going to kill you.

You look at the evidence, it's totally the reverse. Now, you can have sensible, boring scientists like me say, Seedles are really good for you. You could put that as one of your assets or whatever you call it, or adverts for this. So we could say, Seedles are really good for you, Stephen. Or I could tell you, Seedles are toxic. They're going to kill you. Everyone's trying to kill us with Seedles.

What's going to get more clicks?

And so the sensible science, there's no silver bullet. There's no like, you know, crazy inflammatory argument. The sensible science isn't going to get the clicks. So unfortunately, the voices of reason... And often it comes from boring academics like myself, not saying other academics are boring, but sensible academics like myself that give the, you know, the balance. We don't get a voice.

We're not being heard, which is one of the reasons that, you know, I wanted to come on this show because of the misinformation. And we have to get the voice of reason out there. We have to get the voice of reason. So things like that to do with CEDAWs are not what's dominating the headlines.

So what people say in terms of seed oils is, firstly, our intake of seed oils has increased 100-fold the last 20, 30, 40, 50 years. And with that increase in seed oil intake, so has cancer increased, so has cardiovascular disease increased, so has obesity increased, so has Alzheimer's, et cetera, et cetera. So it must be to do with the seed oils. Well, what else has changed in that 50 years?

We're more sedentary. We eat loads of these other, these heavily processed foods that got all of these other ingredients in, you know, the sugar, the this, the that. So much else has changed. You know, you can't put it all down to the fact that at that point in time, seed oils were also changing. We also know that about 60% of the seed oil that we eat is
