Relearning to Cook: The Truth About Seed Oils and Embracing Traditional Fats

 

In this episode of the 80/20 Holistic Home Podcast, we explore the topic of seed oils—their prevalence, health impacts, and reasons to avoid them. We delve into the history and production process of seed oils, highlighting their high omega-6 fatty acid content and the resulting inflammation and chronic diseases from their consumption. Felicia shares her journey of transitioning from seed oils to traditional fats like olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, butter, and ghee. Practical tips on using these healthier alternatives in daily cooking are provided, all in an effort to promote a balanced and low-tox life.
