Cornell-trained biochemist turned family physician Dr. Cate Shanahan is a well-respected authority on the health dangers of seed oils. She calls them the “Hateful 8” and they include: canola, corn, cottonseed soy, sunflower, safflower, grapeseed and rice bran.
Dr. Shanahan shoots down any misconceptions that these oils are health-promoting and, instead, explains the way they contribute to free radical toxicity in the body. This, in turn, leads to effects like: 

  • Uncontrollable hunger
  • Inflammatory fat buildup 
  • Blood sugar swings
  • Disrupted brain energy
  • Intracellular oxidative stress
  • Gut inflammation

Listen into this week’s episode for the truth about seed oils and why you should stick to real fats, the way God made them!
