Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode of Health Talk: Your Partner in Health, Dr. Caitlin Prickett and Jeffery Runyon dive into a controversial topic: seed oils and their hidden impact on our health. Once hailed as healthy alternatives to saturated fats, seed oils have quietly taken over much of the American diet, and studies now suggest they may be linked to a rise in chronic health conditions. Dr. Prickett discusses the science behind omega-6 fatty acids, the inflammatory effects of common oils like canola and soybean, and how the shift to low-fat diets high in seed oils may correlate with increases in diseases like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Jeffery shares his journey of going seed oil-free, and together, they explore practical tips for cutting seed oils out and choosing healthier options. Tune in to uncover the truth about seed oils and what it could mean for your health.
