In 2006, Drs. Gerard Ailhaud and Philippe Guesnet hypothesized that industrial seed oils such as corn, soybean, safflower, sunflower and cottonseed oil are at least partially responsible for the current obesity epidemic (1). These oils were not a significant part of the human diet until very recently, yet they have been promoted due to their supposed ability to prevent cardiovascular disease. The Western world has been living a massive uncontrolled experiment ever since.

As long-time followers of Whole Health Source know, I suspect industrial seed oils contribute to many of our modern ills. I can’t say for sure that seed oils are responsible for the current obesity epidemic, but the evidence certainly gives me pause. In any case, seed oils are an unnatural part of the human diet and it won’t hurt anyone to avoid them. The half-life of linoleic acid in fat tissue is about two years, so reducing it is a long-term prospect.

I agree and Soy is the worst culprit!

Since this info comes from a blog, I'm a little skeptical.

    I read, but it's still a blog. If it came from an article written by a real scientist I'd feel more inclined to take the info seriously.

      We're safe!

      We use Olive, Grapeseed, Sesame and Chili Oils along with real butter.

      Love quinoa, it takes like grilled meat might taste to a carnivore.
