Dr. Joseph Mercola - Take Control of Your Health

The Seed Oil Overload Silently Fueling Chronic Disease - AI Podcast

28 Jul 2025

Description

Story at-a-glance Linoleic acid (LA), once a trace nutrient in the human diet, now makes up as much as 25% of daily calories for many Americans, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and long-term metabolic stress LA transforms into harmful byproducts called OXLAMs that damage DNA, impair cellular energy production, and drive inflammation linked to heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and neurodegeneration This polyunsaturated fat embeds in your body for years; it requires up to six years of low-LA eating to replace 95% of what's already stored in your tissues Common sources of LA include vegetable oils, processed foods, poultry, pork and even many products marketed as healthy, like organic nut butters and salad dressings Reducing your LA intake by eliminating vegetable oils and switching to stable animal fats gives your mitochondria a chance to recover and helps lower your chronic disease risk over time
