You’re scientifically illiterate? That’s why, right? “Evidence shows that the average American diet has become increasingly high in omega-6 fatty acids, and concurrently low in omega-3 fatty acids while health problems are on the rise – and seed oils are taking the blame for this trend. When omega-6 fatty acids are broken down, a by-product called eicosanoid can be formed. While this molecule has been linked to increased inflammation and blood pressure in lab studies, it is important to consider the potential limitations of lab studies. Lab studies may not accurately mimic the human body due to the artificial nature of their experiments. Research shows the link to increased inflammation and blood pressure happens in the lab, but eicosanoid is not produced in large quantities in the body. The small amounts of eicosanoid that are produced when consuming seed oils have not been shown to impact health, inflammation, blood pressure, and other chronic diseases, which is contrary to the loud messaging flooding social media. In other words, the link between seed oils and disease that is making headlines has been represented in lab studies but not human, clinical trials. It is important to note that while foods containing seed oils such as chips, fried foods, and bakery items may be linked to health complications, it is important to differentiate the seed oil in the ingredients from the high processing and low nutrient content of these types of foods. Overall, claiming that seed oils are harmful to health is not, in fact, an evidence-based claim.” colostate.edu/krnc/monthly-blog/should-i-be-concerned-about-seed-oils
