Dr. Chris Knobbe: The Hidden History of Seed Oils

July 14, 2025·40 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Dr. Chris Knobbe is an ophthalmologist, clinical professor emeritus, researcher and leading voice in health policy unveiling the hidden dangers of seed oils (aka vegetable oils) in our food supply. Driven by the data showing stark correlations between rising chronic disease (coronary heart disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, alzheimers/dementia, age-related macular degeneration) and the integration of seed oils into our modern diet, Chris left practice to further research and policy advocacy exploring this troubling and commonly unknown link through AMD Foundation (http://amdfoundation.com) and the book Ancestral Diet Revolution (https://www.amazon.com/Ancestral-Diet-Revolution-Vegetable-Processed/dp/1734071761). After his viral talks at Low Carb Down Under in 2020 (https://youtu.be/7kGnfXXIKZM) and 2023 (https://www.youtu.be/PvZk-jNqzgE), Chris galvanized the discussion scrutinizing the role of "vegetable oils" that are ubiquitous in our modern diet. We caught up with Chris in London for this special episode focused on health, history, and questioning the most basic aspects of our lives today -- our food.
