Nina Teicholz - 'Vegetable Oils: The Unknown Story'

I used to clean restaurant exhaust ducts for a living. Back when they all used to use tallow for frying, the ducts were coated in a fine white powder. Very easy to remove. Then came Canola oil. Overnight the ducts became sticky with an immovable sticky yellow substance akin to the sap that leaches from pine trees. At the time I remember thinking what that would do to the human bloodstream. Now we know.

As a perfectly healthy 25 year old in the mid 90's, the company I worked for sent us for annual medical check ups. I remember very clearly the doctor at the time telling me I should switch the butter I was using for margarine. Lucky I didn't listen to him then and I'm here now as a perfectly healthy 55 year old. Thanks to my wife who saw through the BS very early on and stayed away from seed oils.

This video should be pinned to youtube's home page forever. This lecture teaches better about how our evil society works than any professor or family member has ever taught me, and teaches more about health than any doctor has ever talked to me about.

Someone ( I don’t remember who) once said “ When it comes to butter vs margarine, I trust the cows more than the chemists”.

the internet has shown me just how much I've been lied to my ENTIRE life, UNBELIEVABLE.

One of the lessons I taught my children was to question everything. Another was to always ask "What's in it for them" whenever someone tried to get them to do ANYTHING. They learned that seeking profit is the key motivation for most things in life now and that if a company or government is telling you to change a behaviour that works you should be incredibly wary and investigate it thoroughly. Not always easy.

i cook with tallow in my fish and chip shop and after years of cooking with vegetable oils i can tell you the clean up is completely different, at my old work the exhaust fans were constantly covered in grease and grime and at my shop not one drip after three months i think it was this video that made me decide i would use animal fats when i opened up shop so thank you Nina

3 yrs ago I weighed 200 lbs. I'm 5'7". I finally got tired of all the low fat foods with no flavors. Switched to whole milk, butter, and coconut oil. We clarify the butter so it can cook at a higher temp. and we cook a lot with the coconut oil because of it's high temp. also. In less than 6 months I dropped to my normal weight of 160 lbs. and have maintained that ever since. The only other change I made was I started taking Vitamins D3 (5000) & K2 (100) to control the calcium going to the bones instead of the arteries. I also dropped the Statin meds. In 2000 I had a triple bypass and in 2009 I had two stents installed. Everything the Doctors wanted me to do, I did and I got fat. I just turned 80 not too long ago and except for an occasional angina discomfort I'm doing good.

My husband's maternal grandparents lived to be about 96 and 107. They used lard everyday. My paternal grandparents uses lard and lived to be in their 90s. My maternal grandparents uses vegetable oils and ate oatmeal all the time, they died in their 70s and 80s and had lots of health issues. My husband's grandmother who died at 107 did not take any medication. She only had cataract issues and used dentures. At 44 I'm finally understanding how important it is to go back to lard and butter, olive oil....

Nina is so relaxing to listen to. I actually use this video as a sleep aid because her voice is very calming and friendly, but each time I play it I find a little nugget of information I've previously missed. This is a great video helping me sleep better and educating me.

This woman's book The Big Fat Surprise changed my life. I'm still struggling with getting the keto thing but she helped me realize that the same diet I lost weight on as a 13yo in 1976 can help me as a still fat 50-something. Very grateful to this woman for her work.

I have stopped cooking in vegetable oils and am back to cooking with saturated fats, and I can’t even tell you how my inflammation has gone to near zero. I had severe endothelial dysfunction too due to the reactive oxygen species. Now my vascular system is back to normal. “Vegetable Oil” is the greatest sham thrown into our diet and bodies in all human history.

Nina Teicholz you are an international hero. You deserve a nobel prize

My elder brother told me back in 1973 or 74 that the problem was not cholesterol or saturated fats. The issue was polyunsaturated fats and sugar in our diets. Later (~1993) I attended a small local ACS chemistry meeting where they presented papers. One of which showed HOW our bodies took polyunsaturated fat and sugar to make arachinidic acid (sp?) which is one of the main building blocks of vascular blockages....

I remember my mom being really worried when I was using butter to fry my eggs one time. She was told by her various doctors over the decades to watch her cholesterol so she used these seed oils, mainly canola and margarine. For years she struggled with her cholesterol. Including osteoporosis, arthritis, high blood pressure and weight. She died at the age of 61 from pancreatic cancer. Younger than her mother by 1 to 2 years I found the truth about this veg oil bs last year. My health has improved a lot since then.

Since going carnivore (2.5 years now) my sense of smell has become very keen. When we go to the post office we park opposite a fast food place (chicken) and now what just smelt like "fried food" is a STENCH on the breeze. Similar story today driving past a restaurant we used to like. It really has totally removed my desire to eat out.

My sister cooked w seed Oils. Lots of chips and French fries. She ate in restaurants (which use seed oils) she developed breast cancer and died of it. I truly think the oils played a big role as well as sugar, alcohol and processed food.

I just came across this video and think about what I was told growing up. We tried to consume "low fat" foods that were high in sugar or artificial sweeteners. We changed the types of fats, used to "vegetable oil" as this video describes. As a nation, we can see the deleterious effects this had had on the population. Fast forward to today, and we have a pandemic with higher death rates due to obesity amount other health conditions. I wonder if all this past guidance from government "health experts" has lead to greater distrust. A growing "hesitancy" if you will.

Since reading "The Big Fat Surprise" several years ago, I cook my sausage & eggs in lard every morning. No sugar drinks, no bread, no cereals, no potatoes. I'm skinny, active, healthy & never plan to change my diet.

I'm glad I'm no longer in the restaurant business I was in it from 16-22 and she is 100% right about the oils the cleaning issues it is disgusting seriously
