How Scientists and Dishonest Media Bury The Evidence of Seed Oil Harms

New study examines how different fats affect fat cells. Reporters and scientists hide the data on seed oil harms. I’m often asked, “If seed oils are so harmful, why aren’t there more studies?” The truth is, there are more studies. The problem isn’t a lack of evidence. It’s how that evidence gets distorted. Study authors, universities, and media outlets seem to work together to downplay the risks, putting a spin on the results that makes seed oils look harmless, or even healthy. This article is a perfect example of how that happens. A new study is making headlines for suggesting…

Did Leading Nutrition Experts Knowingly Use Fatally Skewed Data?

JAMA Internal Medicine published the first-ever study comparing butter to seed oils. But they skewed the data to the point of absurdity. Time and again, I’ve seen supposedly peer-reviewed studies making conclusions that defy common sense. Especially seed oil studies. This latest journal is one of the worst examples I’ve come across. I’m going to break down what they did and how they got away with it in this article. Their paper is especially important. It’s the first, to my knowledge, to compare seed oils head to head with butter. More than 70 years have passed since health authorities started…

Why do we get hangry?

Hangry is not normal hunger. Normal hunger is usually brought about by smelling food. It’s also common to feel normal hunger around our normal mealtimes because our digestive system has its own internal clock that keeps excellent track of time. (This is why your dog or cat always seems to know when it’s dinner o’clock.) Ordinary hunger does not make us angry or irritable. And unless we’ve gone for days without eating, normal hunger is a light stomach-grumbling sensation that goes away when we ignore it. Hypoglycemia makes us hangry. Hangry on on the other hand is hard to ignore.…

Attention Keto Dieters: Seed Oil is Worse than Sugar

Fellow members of the keto community, keto dieters everywhere, we need to talk. I want to convince you that any amount of seed oils is way worse than small amounts of sugar. Ketones are not the miracle cure for all that ails us. A healthy metabolism is. The only reason we can’t see this is because we’ve been lied to about fats.  Seed oils destroy our metabolism. Sugar doesn’t. AFTER seed oils make us sick and insulin resistant THEN sugar can potentially become toxic to us. But because of HOW seed oils harm our body fat and mitochondria, cutting carbs…

Guilt by Association: Salt Is Not Even A Little Bad For Our Health

You might think salt makes you bloated. It’s actually something else. We hear all the time that salt is bad for us. So my patients who notice swelling or bloating after eating salty junk food naturally assume salt caused their symptoms. But of all the ingredients in junk food, salt is the least likely to cause health problems.  I grew up surrounded by messaging that salt was bad but I was always skeptical. Probably because my dad, a doctor, always snatched up the shaker and doused his food in salt before even tasting it. He’s done that his whole life,…
