Fix Your Fats: Deciphering The Seed Oil Controversy

Are seed oils toxic? Or is that a conspiracy?

Seed oils are perhaps the most controversial ingredient of the moment.  Just a quick internet search of "seed oils" will give you a wide range of articles that emphatically push both sides of the argument.

In this episode I share some of the (shocking) history of fats and the origins of diet-heart hypothesis, explain what seed oils are, what potential health concerns they might pose, which seed oils are actually healthy, what fats I use, and a super cool new alternative to fish oils that was discovered because of dolphins.

And I forgot to mention the cool trick for using coconut oil for busting sugar cravings:

Just stir a little bit (like 1/2 teaspoon) of virgin coconut oil into a cup of green tea. Let it cool a minute, then sip it down. It can nip a sugar craving in the bud, and give you that burst of energy you’re seeking!!
