And we actually see the exact opposite, which happens all the time in science.

Yeah, I mean, I think that it has to do with this anti-science movement that we're living in right now.

I think it speaks to this idea of like, oh, the scientists are wrong.

The government is wrong.

They're lying to us.

because seed oils have been recommended because they're polyunsaturated fats, and the science shows that they're quite healthful.

It's a good question.

And I think as scientists, we've been failing.

We've been losing that war, so to speak, because we haven't been going to spaces where people are to bring them information.

For a long time, it's been quite frowned upon to go to social media or spaces where people are, if you're an academic or if you're a scientist.

And I think that's changing now because we're seeing how important it is.

but I think we need more of it.

And so, you know, we need more people to go and kind of explain the science because I'll be honest, even I, when I first got into this field, because this has been a narrative for a very long time that like seed oils are unhealthy.

And so I just assumed that they were, I was like, yeah, seed oils are unhealthy.

And then I learned kind of the science behind it and what the evidence actually shows.

And I changed my mind and realized that they're not actually unhealthy.

But a part of that comes from this idea that

Seed oils are cheap and they're flavorless relatively.

And so they're in a lot of these low-nutrient, ultra-processed foods.

That's the oil that these food companies are using to put into all of these foods.
