Seed oils have become a nutritional villain, but the real issue is more specific: oxidation. In this episode, Dr. Datis Kharrazian explains why heat and light can damage unstable oils, while cold-pressed options such as flaxseed, evening primrose, and black currant oil can provide essential fatty acids the body can’t make.

This conversation covers omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 pathways, prostaglandins, insulin resistance, fatty liver, ketogenic diets, and brain health. You’ll also hear how to distinguish a beneficial oil from a rancid one, why olive oil and ghee are useful for cooking, and why blanket statements about all seed oils miss the biology.
