Omega-6 Linoleic Acid Is Not What Makes Seed Oils Bad

Introduction: Clearing Up Confusion About Omega-6 Linoleic Acid in Seed Oils You might have heard that seed oils, like soybean or corn oil, are bad because of a fat called omega-6. People say omega-6 causes health problems like diabetes or heart trouble because it’s “inflammatory.”  That’s a myth we need to bust! Omega-6 isn’t the real villain. The problem is how certain seed oils are made. Let’s learn about the eight unhealthy oils—I call them the “hateful eight”—and why they hurt your body. This simple story will show you the truth.

From Today’s Medscape Family Medicine: “January 25, 2010 (Durham, North Carolina) — A new randomized trial comparing a low-carbohydrate diet with a low-fat diet in combination with the weight-loss drug orlistat has found that both strategies produced meaningful weight…
