  • The nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services, and social media posts disparaging the 'hateful eight,' have drawn attention to seed oils like canola and grapeseed.

The article from Food & Wine discusses the controversy surrounding seed oils, which include oils like canola, corn, and soybean oil. It highlights that while some health advocates and influencers claim these oils are inflammatory and harmful due to their high omega-6 fatty acid content, scientific consensus largely supports that seed oils are not inherently unhealthy when consumed in moderation. The piece explains that omega-6 fats are not universally bad; they are essential fats that the body needs, and the real issue might be an imbalance with omega-3 fats rather than the oils themselves. It also notes that seed oils are often refined to remove impurities, which can make them more stable for cooking at high temperatures. The article concludes by suggesting that while seed oils can be part of a healthy diet, the focus should be on overall dietary balance rather than demonizing a single ingredient.
