The Seed Oil Takeover

A Story of Profit Over Health

In 1900, animal fats dominated our diets, making up a staggering 99% of our fat intake.

Seed oils? Virtually nonexistent.

Fast forward to today, and the landscape has shifted dramatically.

Now, a whopping 86% of added fats in our diets come from seed oils.

But why the switch? Was it for our health?

Hardly.

The truth is, we made this shift not because seed oils are healthier, but because they're cheap, abundant, and shelf-stable, even when they're rancid.

Seed oils are essentially agricultural waste products, transformed into a profit machine for the food industry.

They can be produced in massive quantities at a fraction of the cost of animal fats, making them an attractive option for manufacturers looking to boost their bottom line.

So, the next time you reach for that bottle of vegetable oil, remember: it's not about your health; it's about profits.

The food industry has pulled a fast one on us, and it's time we woke up to the reality of our rancid, profit-driven diet.

Take a quick pantry check today. Look at the oils and packaged foods you’ve got on hand. If the label lists seed oils like canola, soybean, corn, safflower, or sunflower oil, consider swapping them out. Instead, stock up on natural fats like butter, ghee, tallow, lard, or extra virgin olive oil. These are the fats your great-grandparents thrived on…and your body knows exactly how to use. One small switch, one big step toward reclaiming your health.
