Nina Teicholz, investigative science journalist and opinion writer, talks about the history of seed oils, which include corn, canola, soybean and peanut oil, and their health effects. Before seed oils, we used to cook with lard, tallow, suet and butter. Through hydrogenation, hardened oil entered our food supply in the form of Crisco for the first time in 1911. Then came margarine, designed to replace butter, followed by cooking oils. These oils got a boost in 1961, when the American Heart Association recommended polyunsaturated oil to fight heart disease. But then studies showed a higher rate of death from cancer and higher rates of gallstones and strokes. Watch the video to learn about the trans fat ban, the toxic substances produced by heated oils and Teicholz's lessons on oils.

Teicholz is best known for her New York Times bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat, especially on saturated fat and vegetable oils. Teicholz is also the founder and current Board Chair of the Nutrition Coalition, a nonprofit group working to ensure that nutrition policy reflects the best and most current science. The Nutrition Coalition is responsible for generating interest in Congress about the need for greater transparency and scientific rigor in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, resulting in four reports by the National Academies of Sciences, which represent the first-ever outside peer review of this important nutrition policy.

    Nina is and always will be an absolute legend for her work, exposing the truth on fats. Humanity owes her a great debt ❤

    Even in my own kitchen, I noticed that when I used to cook with seed oils, there was a sticky film that accumulated on the surfaces near the cooker. We started cooking with ghee, tallow and butter. Now there is absolutely zero accumulation. Also, I was surprised at how easy it is to clean off animal fats from utensils. Just a bit of hot water does most of the job and the pans look cleaner, but when I used seed oils it was sometimes quite a long job to get it off the pans.

    My mum died at 88 fabulous sharp brain, my Aunty 91 and 89. No Alzheimer’s in either. They were brought up on lard and butter, and no packet, convenience food, and no microwaves. Dr Ben Bickman brought my awareness to this. We’ve been conned.
  • I stopped eating any seed oil. Stopped completely mid Sept. today (mid November) I am pain free. I have been told my pain is from osteoarthritis…. Well…it is gone. Only change? No more seed oils in my diet.
  • @AI-vs7sm
    The moderator mentioned asking the food dept about seed oils and got the reply that they DO NOT use "seed oils". Please ask him to go back there and ask if they use" VEGETABLE OILS", since that's what everyone calls them. Lets see how they answer that!

    Nina, thank you for highlighting Mary Enig’s work. She never got the recognition she deserved.
  • @lyndobla
    God bless you for your good work and courageous stand in exposing the evils of seed oils.
  • @Pondapple
    OMG - I remember when I was cooking with corn oil, there was an almost baked on sticky residue on the pans used in the oven. Not easy to clean off.

    Dr. Roy swank observed any hydrogenated oil or packaged foods with those oils were detrimental to MS patients and put together a very strict diet to control the disease progression. He started this in 1948. We are slow to the game. Glad to see it is getting headlines now.

    I use discarded seed oils as a fuel. Those polymers formed with heat can clog the fuel system and the oxidation can rust out steel parts.
  • I only use lard and even put it in my coffee and tea. It's so healthy.

    If there was integrity in the awards she should have awarded a Pulitzer. just think of how many thousands and thousands of lives she saved with her research.
  • As a kid I noticed a nasty acrid taste in my mouth after eating fried foods. Have learned to avoid them.
  • @hoboonwheels9289
    I had gallstones in my 30s, as did many friends, they got surgery, I tried the olive oil cure which worked and they never flared up again.
  • @amalston180
    I collect used cooking oil from restaurants. You should see what it does when left out for a while, it also acts like a paint solvent.
  • @4bennybear
    dont hold your breath for the government to do something about it

    I think the olive oil has been consumed for much longer time then you state. My family has over thousand trees of the Adriatic coast. And most of the trees are hundreds of years old and some over a thousand. I don't think all was produced and used for anointing the bodies athletes of ancient. I grew up consuming it. And no other oils. Even today don't use them. Thank you for education that makes sense.
