Dr. Gundry and Ben Azadi are diving into a huge conversation about seed oils and setting the record straight: they are NOT all bad. The real problem lies in the fact that most conventional seed oils are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which contain multiple double bonds. This structure makes them incredibly unstable, especially when exposed to pressure, heat, and oxygen during processing. This processing is what causes these fats to become rancid even before they hit the shelf, and cooking them only makes things worse.
If you want to support your metabolic health and cellular integrity, the key is choosing the right sources. When you opt for cold-pressed, organic seed oils and avoid heating them, they can actually be beneficial for your cells. The hosts are big fans of healthy fats like saturated fats (zero double bonds) and high-quality monounsaturated fats such as olive oil and avocado oil. These are the building blocks your body needs.
Forget the blanket advice to avoid all fats. The secret to long-term wellness isn’t eliminating healthy fats, but intelligently navigating the unstable, processed varieties that dominate our food supply. Start choosing quality fats that support your cell membrane integrity and function.
