What if I told you that one of the secrets to better health, reducing inflammation, and even slowing down cancer growth could lie in something as simple as fats? The fats you consume, especially seed oils, could either be fueling disease or protecting your body. Seed oils are vegetable oils that come from seeds like canola, sunflower, soybean, corn, and cottonseed.
These oils are rich in omega-6 fatty acids. One of the most concerning areas of research is the connection between seed oils, omega-6s, and cancer, specifically prostate cancer. When you consume too many omega-6 fatty acids and not enough omega-3s, it triggers a state of chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation weakens our tissues. It impairs our immune function.
and it creates the perfect environment for diseases like cancer to grow and thrive. Inflammation is like a wildfire in your body, damaging tissues and lowering your immune defense. But what most people don't realize is that What if I told you that one of the secrets to better health, reducing inflammation, and even slowing down cancer growth could lie in something as simple as fats? It's true.
The fats you consume, especially seed oils, could either be fueling disease or protecting your body. Today, we're diving into the science behind seed oils, omega-3s, and how they're linked to prostate cancer. We'll explore why balancing these fats could be a game changer for your and your family's health. And I'll even show you how you can start making changes today. So let's get into it.
Welcome back to the Ultimate Human Podcast, guys. I'm your host, Gary Brekka, human biologist. And today we're tackling a topic that could seriously change the way you think about food and fat. Seed oils, omega-3 fatty acids, and they're linked to prostate cancer. You see, seed oils like canola, soybean, sunflower, safflower, and corn oil are everywhere and they're super cheap.
They last a long time and they're found in so many of our processed foods. But what most people don't realize is that these oils may be playing a dangerous role in fueling inflammation, chronic disease, and even cancer.
In today's episode, we're going to break down the science behind seed oils, the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, and why getting this balance right is so crucial for your long-term health. Plus, we'll dive into a study that shows just how powerful the right fats can be in reducing cancer progression.
And of course, I'll give you practical, actionable steps you can start using today to balance your fats and optimize your health. First things first. What exactly are seed oils? Seed oils are vegetable oils that come from seeds like canola, sunflower, soybean, corn, and cottonseed. These oils are rich in omega-6 fatty acids, which in moderation are essential for our bodies.
These are involved in cell structure, energy production, and even hormone regulation. The problem is, however, that these omega-6 fatty acids are overrepresented in the modern diet, largely due to the widespread use of seed oils in processed foods, fried foods, and even in many home kitchens. Here's where things get tricky. Omega-6s and omega-3s, essential fatty acids,
