Are Seed Oils Actually Poisoning You?

What the 2025 human evidence actually shows — every fear about the “hateful eight,” weighed fairly, claim by claim.

The entire seed-oil shelf argues one direction: the “hateful eight” are poisoning you. This is the audit the shelf doesn't have — each headline fear weighed against the actual human trials and cohorts and graded, from the omega-6 pathway that never raises inflammation when you feed it to people, to the big claim that seed oils are making us fat and sick, where the human data lean the other way. No diet plan, no oil to switch to — an audit, not a prescription.

Inside the book

  • A scorecard up front — six seed-oil fears, graded before you read a word of the working
  • “Omega-6 inflames you” — a real pathway on a whiteboard that doesn't raise inflammation in human trials
  • “Heat turns them toxic” — the genuine chemistry of abused, reused fryer oil, and where the scary numbers actually come from
  • The omega-ratio, the “ancestral” argument, and “industrial hexane sludge” — a real fact each time, doing the work of a health claim it can't support
  • The big one — “making us fat and sick” — tested against the RCTs and cohorts, reported as association, never as a reason to consume more
  • The myths that can actually hurt you, ranked — plus when it's a reason to see your GP, and an appendix of every fear that didn't survive

The honest part

A machine wrote this book. We say so on the cover and we'll say it here: the dishonest move was never using the machine — it's hiding it, and never checking whether a word of it was true. So a practising doctor read every page and threw out what didn't hold up. Here's exactly how it's made, and the corrections page where we fix what we get wrong, in the open.

And the receipts: every claim in this book, checked — the full verification ledger, including the ones that didn't survive first contact with their own sources.
