Seed oils are so highly processed I don't know why anyone would want them in their diet. And I think the studies on them(and just about all food consumption) are always focused on one aspect rather than the big picture. For example the red meat myth about causing cancer- most of those studies don't take in account lifestyle and other factors and are more observational. And Just like eggs are bad for you, then they weren't, then they were, then they weren't, then they were again. Just stay away from hyper-palatable processed foods. Plus this guy looks like he would have a stroke walking up a large flight of stairs. talk the talk walk the walk.

Seems people also have to get out of there echo chambers ....
The people commenting seem to only want to hear "seed oils are bad bad bad"

[bigpicturegains]

I’m starting to think having a higher saturated fat intake is a good thing in context of an active healthy individual. Most health recommendations are made under the context of a generally unwell population. This means those outside the norm need to be mindful of that fact and not blindly follow blanket advice.

[nickreeder]

This is guy is the outcome of not worrying about seed oils?

[ErikBjornson]

Troubling interview. He didn't address any of the many other concerns about seed oils that are raised my many medical professionals like Paul Mason and dozens of books. Also, humans have been eating lard and tallow for 400, 000 years. If someone wants to propose that humans eat engine lubricants, aka seed oils, the burden is 100 percent on them to prove them safe. He admits that are insufficient studies either way. Thus, seed oils should be avoided until they are fully tested. He conveniently shifts the burden onto consumers to prove that seed oils are unhealthy.

Finally, he failed to address any conflicts of interests that he might. What percent of his studies were paid by big food or the pharmaceutical companies?

"The truth" hmm, interesting. I would love to see Dr Paul Mason debate with Dr Kevin Maki on seed oils.

[JesusChristBC]

The 40% body fat doctor coming to tell you how to eat

[billyquaide]

He's wrong on seed oils. Here's the truth about the damage seed oils do:

[slayerax]

What type of seed oils are they talking about or is it big difference between canola oil and avocado oil?

[nobukazumikami]

People avoid naturally occurring saturated fat in meat (not "added" saturated fat), but those people do not try to avoid building intramuscular fat (marbled muscles, Wagyu beef muscles) in their body. If they compare MRI images of their muscles with Wagyu beef muscles, they would look similar.

This guy is towing the line for many who benefit from seed oils. He is not even close to covering all of the issues that seed oils contribute to, inflammation is not even in the top 10 reasons to reduce the consumption of them to a minimum! He still promotes the whole lower is better thing with LDL, which has been clearly proven massively incorrect! Dr. Lyon, I am ashamed of you for this interview.

[balancedactguy]

Another set of Ideas to configure us with. Why isn;'t THAT guy looking more fit??

[rickguymon]

Yikes. I wish you had not said the truth, but something like Dr Maki thoughts? The title sound like you believe his info. Very disappointing. Go back to Don Layman please. Dr. Layman looks healthy and gives what I think is unbiased factual info. Dr. Maki looks like he has metabolic syndrome looks unhealthy. He also seem to be big on pharma and not life stye. Demonizes saturated Fat.

9:30 Typical, just say "influencers", instead of recognizing it comes from doctors and researchers in nutrition and biology...

[TheKillerAngel]

Mention seed oils and all the bro scientists come out of the woodwork.

[JesusChristBC]

What a garbage video. She's just putting her own opinions on to the person she's trying to interview. Without the guy even getting a chance to say his own peace, she's basically making his argument for him first. He's too much of a simp to actually disagree with her.

[ad-ross]

At the end he is asking for the data. Paul Saladino can show him the data.

[nutech]

Why would I listen to an unhealthy MD? 😂

[scottharrison]
