Also as constructive feedback, since you have already broken down the chemistry behind this stuff, I think you should have, (or should, if you still can) include the nuance of how omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids act differently depending on which carbon on the chain the methylamine bridge is at. I am afraid someone might take this information in and see walnuts, wild-caught salmon, and olive oil in the same category as the seed oils, because while they both contains PUFAs and MUFAs, they have very different outcomes on disease. I know you included the included the graph showing the different percentages of PUFAs and MUFAs, but I think the explanation would be very useful.
Can you break that down for us or provide links to reading on it? I don't doubt NLCR will cover it in an additional comment fairly quick, it would be handy in case he doesn't.
This is a well done and informative video, it would be difficult to include all nuances in a single video about fats and oxidation, without being hours long.
I think you’re overestimating the ability of the average viewer to be able to understand the which carbon on the chain the methylamine bridge. Even I, while in university, endured organic chemistry am not in a position to make such a determination.
Many people will think methylamine is something Walter White and Jesse Pinkman used to make meth blue.
Nothing but PUFAs and MUFAs, yo!
Small correction: methylene, not methylamine. Methylamine is the stuff Walter White and Jesse grab a barrel of in the first season of Breaking Bad. The methylene group/bridge is a CH2-group stuck between a rock and a hard place.
i've always seen the term "vegetable oil" as a form of branding because the word "vegetable" is generally associated with healthy foods.
like how some foods slap on the ol' "plant based" to things like cookies to make them more appealing when their plant based ingredients are mostly sugar seed oils and processed wheat
I've always seen it more as, wtf do you mean "vegetable oil"? that sounds about as legit as putting "animal meat" on the list of ingredients of a hotdog. be specific!
but now I just see vegetable oil as "unfinished biodiesel"
@@glebglub if i recall correctly, they also use it as a generic term due to some products using a multitude of different oils, usually to save money by using whichever is cheapest at the time. so it could be a mixture of soy, corn, and whatever other oil they want to put in their food.
I think I saw a video or documentary somewhere that showed they started using that word to market cottonseed oil as edible, since back in the 1850s or later the oil was seen as a byproduct from the use of the cotton gin.
I wondered about this for a long time, too. After all, vegetables are low in fats! "Vegetable" here comes from an old system of classifying things -- animal, vegetable, mineral. "Vegetable" means only that it comes from a plant source. It doesn't mean it comes from vegetables as the term is used most nowadays, in the culinary sense. Just like fruit has different meanings, botanically and culinarily. Etymology is useful.
@@aileenhampton6911 and this is why i feel like "vegetable" is kind of an outdated term. most people have their own perspective for the word that leads to a lot of confusion.
vegetables being low in fat also goes to show how why "seed oils" is a more proper name since the parts of plants that are most condensed with fat are the seeds. soy, corn, rapeseed (for canola), all of these are just the offspring of the plants and you need a lot of them to get a substantial amount of fat out of them, which speaks to the efficiency of processing as well.
A wild thing I noticed was that after cutting seed oils I stopped getting canker sores. I was told when I was younger there was basically nothing I could do for it (aside from some home remedies that didn't work). Sure enough when I eat a bunch of garbage food after a vacation or something, I end up getting one a few days later. Its crazy how much they seemed to negatively affect me
I also used to get canker sores all the time in my 20's, absolutely hated them, made it not fun to eat anymore.
I stopped using toothpastes with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS free toothpaste) and other sulfates in them (it's just a foaming agent, basically soap) and haven't had one since. Still eat seed oil all the time. Interesting what works for different people. I'll keep that in mind if they ever come back even with the SLS free toothpaste
Yup i remember that stuff. Seemed to make no difference for me at all. I guess just difference inflammatory responses@@claytonbing16
Same, if i ever get a small cut or accidentally bite my cheek. Then follow with anything fried with seed oils. Guaranteed to get a canker sore. Swapped to animal fats/butter foods, its never a problem.
@@claytonbing16I used to get canker sores all the time, then I realized I was having allergic reactions.
Let me tell you how absolutely different my life became after I got seed oils out of my life.
I was crushed by a 2,000 lbs piece of equipment on the job. Both my hips and lower spine were crushed. I was left barely able to walk and in endless, nonstop pain. Severe pain. Even in my sleep my pain followed me into my dreams. Running was impossible, working out was very, very painful. I would take walks every day just to fight against the losing battle of weight gain and depression. I was going to the hospital three times a week to do physical therapy just to not get worse.
I spent 13 years like this.
Almost two years ago, I found out about seed oils from a newspaper that covered it. I thought I'd give it a shot and clear out my diet for two months to see if anything changed. I figured worse case scenario nothing improved and I could go back to eating whatever I wanted.
Long story short, after two months of no seed oils, I ran again for the first time since 2009. In just two months. I also lost 36 pounds. I wasn't in pain anymore, except just some minor pain if I worked out too hard. Nothing I couldn't deal with after what I had.
Seed oils are straight poison.
That is amazing! It's so hard to avoid things because they put it in everything!
@@skival You have to spiritually grow. First you must physically commit, then the spiritual growth will occur, then you can easily live a life without seed oils. I had to 100% boycott it, so I avoided for a year or more all breads, 98% or more of packaged foods, restaurants (even steak is cooked with seed oils - can't escape), all food at birthday parties, events, wedding receptions, and pizza!
I had to come to the realization that all this food is what God meant by not eating "that which was sacrificed to idols". Unclean food - something nearly every Christian no longer cares about because of one thing Jesus said (and got misinterpreted). I had to start looking at all the food everywhere as "that food", the unclean food everyone's tempting me to eat, but I shouldn't because it'll ruin my antenna and connection with God. That helped me have the zeal to continue.
Speaking of wedding receptions, I was just at one. Since alcohol is quickly metabolized and fermentation is a method for preparing grains for safe-consuming, I decided to drink the keg all day. No food, but about 10 beers! I wouldn't advise this all the time, but I truly believe my decision was better than eating the party food.
I'm going on 3 years now. Don't eat too much fake sugar either as I learned dumping insulin is a taste-response, so sweet things leave you with high insulin. Eat natural and when you can, use animal products - like butter almost 100% all the time. I have broken past all my lifting plateaus and gotten rid of annoying knee arthritis that I've had ever since a youngling! "Growing pains" my parents called them but it hurt so much I could hardly crouch down. I experienced those pains every now and then until it was happening for a few days every week or more by the time I was 30! I can pistol squat today, any day, and with weight. I've held two 60 pound dumbbells for a max pistol squat on each leg (and I hope to keep improving).
@@skival The agony that comes back to my back and hips if I eat any helps keep me on track. Also, the power of spite keeps me from cheating any. The more I've researched it the more I'm convinced it's all on purpose.
Can i then just use olive oil? Because I've read it can't be heated up as much as seed oil, especially the cold extracted olive oil.
But now I can't find anything online supporting that claim, instead i found the opposite info and I'm confused
About 20-30 years ago (I'm an Old™) the messaging was to try to eat unsaturated fats and limit saturated ones, and that polyunsaturated was better than monounsaturated. There was also an all-out war on cholesterol in foods, while now we think that doesn't matter at all. It's amazing how much our understanding changes over time, and it's also not surprising that it's difficult to get people to pay attention to the messaging when it changes so often.
To be fair, after I watched this I went and looked up what some of the "trusted" health authorities (Harvard, Mayo Clinic, American Heart Association) say about polyunsaturated and saturated fats and they still push the "saturated fat = BAD polyunsaturated fat = GOOD" narrative so I'm really curious when they'll catch on? Or if there's something our guy didn't catch (or perhaps another side to this story that's not centered around veggie oil specifically) that would bridge the gap between the two ideas. Would love to see him explain/dispel this idea and help us understand better.
@@DLT111 The 'trusted authorities' tend to take an exuberant amount of time to change their stance which I think is smart if they don't want the public to basically not follow for the same reasons OP stated.
It takes about 10 to 15 years to see the medical community start to back the new findings.
they also get paid by the people profiting off of seed oils @@tianamarie989
Updating information is a good thing. Changing with new information is also a good thing.
@@DLT111do note that the makers of Crisco (Procter and Gamble) made the American Heart Association rich and influential. For decades the AHA was promoting Crisco, not just their liquid vegetable oil but their vegetable shortening, which was then rich in trans-fats. Trans-fats weren’t thought dangerous then… yet. Now they are, and the AHA helped make a major source of them more popular.
Yeah, don't assume heart attacks are just for old people. My husband had a heart attack at 29. You are what you eat, educate yourself and act accordingly. Thanks for another great video!
I developed cardiac palpitations around the age of 14. It turns out i have a birth defect in one of my heart valves, but that wasn't diagnosed until I was in my 50's.
Guy up the street from me . . . same thing. Left two little kids and a young wife.
Educating yourself is not going to suffice. No individual alone, even an outrageously smart and motivated one, is going to be able to know everything about everything, let alone the average Joe.
Seeing through a corrupt corporate conspiracy to decieve the masses of individuals takes those individuals becoming more than a sum of people, --- to form a network of critically thinking scientific minds that work together to form groups and subgroups that can allow themselves to specialize and focus scrutiny on particular topics, so that the network can rely on thier expertise.
We must ridd ourselves of the hubris to think that we will as lone heroes stand trial of fire against inhuman sleepless monstrous paperwork mechines that have resources employed to decieve, so vast that we can only look through a few, but not possibly all thier smoke and mirrors befor we mere mortals tire or succumb to crippling paranoia.
We may not choose to walk alone if we are to stick it to the behemoths with thier well organized covertly executed disinformation campaigns and thier paid actors playing the role of scientists!
We need real scientists beholden to inform the people of the truth, to the scientific metods ability, not to serve profit.
From scientific freedom and open knowledge will come more prosperity and profit overall for all, as information, when free of artificial restrictions, is not held back by scarcity!
My uncle ran marathons and dropped dead from a heart attack before 40 during a run.. He ate a very strict diet. If anything for a deep dive in this video is how our parents passed down traits that cause issues others don't have, in regards of processing foods. Out genes dictate more of what the body can handle beyond a good diet. That said, my kids are 90% fed wholesome meals I cook. My kids are athletes and I hope my genes don't hold them back.
When I was eating a lot of grease I had two at 30, after cutting back I've not had any others. The idea anyone argue there's no evidence, may as well be arguing earth is flat. This was before the first video telling me Oils give you heart attacks. So it's not a placebo. Also I was not stressed that I remember when they happened.
I have an environmental science background, and I’m an expert witness who has to explain the science and chemistry to non-scientific decision makers and judges. You did an excellent job explaining this material in a way that a layperson would understand it. I’m newly subscribed and look forward to your future content. (Going to be binging the old content too!)
i used to force myself to cook with sunflower oil because i was always told it was so healthy. but at some point it became stale because i started cooking almost only with olive oil and coconut oil. i somehow sensed that these unsaturated fatty acids were not good for me. i felt what was really good for me without knowing why. if you listen to your body, you can feel it!
Well done!
You're prolly too young to remember but canola oil had a massive advertising campaign that made it part of the healthy foods culture in America.
Rape seed oil needed a feel good marketing name. Canola
Don't forget the lobbyists
Canola oil was on the list of healthier oils with more monounsaturated fat and less polyunsaturated fat. So it is healthier than other vegetable oils (but not as healthy as avocado oil or olive oil. Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil is still the healthiest choice).
("probably" please - you're old enough to know that.😉)
Not just the USA, it was global. Australian that dealt with the same lobbying.
Heart attack survivor. Surprisingly none of my Drs talk about this. Thanks for getting this out there.
Well they aren't taught it, but if they talk about they wouldn't have as much patients.
most likely because a majority of patients in the US with heart problems take issue with limiting soda/sugar consumption and calorie management that limiting seed oil is sort of putting the cart before the horse.
@@coolranch311 Another reason is, that the majority opinion of people in the field is the other way round: Saturated fat is worse for health outcomes, than unsaturated fats and afaik (though I am not in the field, nor have read thaaat much of any of the papers) that opinion is based on the data we have, even though it is harder to study dietary changes than pills.
@@coolranch311 Here is what the WHO recommends:
"Less than 30% of total energy intake from fats (1, 2, 3). Unsaturated fats (found in fish, avocado and nuts, and in sunflower, soybean, canola and olive oils) are preferable to saturated fats (found in fatty meat, butter, palm and coconut oil, cream, cheese, ghee and lard) and trans-fats of all kinds, including both industrially-produced trans-fats (found in baked and fried foods, and pre-packaged snacks and foods, such as frozen pizza, pies, cookies, biscuits, wafers, and cooking oils and spreads) and ruminant trans-fats (found in meat and dairy foods from ruminant animals, such as cows, sheep, goats and camels). It is suggested that the intake of saturated fats be reduced to less than 10% of total energy intake and trans-fats to less than 1% of total energy intake (5). In particular, industrially-produced trans-fats are not part of a healthy diet and should be avoided (4, 6)."
www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/healthy-diet
That's because most of this is horseshit.
Back in the day when they demonized, butter and other saturated fats. I don't think it was just some accident. I believe that people in charge maliciously and intentionally directed the public this way.
Sugar and seed oil industries paid for this demonization of butter and other saturated fats.
Ancel Keys is pretty much the main reason for that. Definitely the right idea but it's more like one guy and his pride.
100%
Oh yeah that's why they keep saying red meat is bad lol. Like they're gonna stop èating it. Uh-huh. 😉
Canola is very widely used here in Sweden, it's easy to grow and it's pretty much all cold pressed instead of solvent extracted, this makes it more similar to traditional virgin olive oil (with some protective anti-oxidants still there) than your boiled and hydrogenated high temp frying oils. The desludging step is also something common with olive oil, and the deodorizing step is actually fairly useful if you don't want your canola to actually smell like flowers (seriously, try to get your hand on some!).
what about the acid?
@@siyacer Roughly 30-50% lower free fatty acid content for the crude, degum, and bleach steps (warm pressed), any further processing brings both down to the same ~0.1% level. Just degumming brings the FFA below the equivalent legal limits for virgin olive oil though (0.8%).
@@siyacerErusic acid? That's practically non-existent in rapeseed oil at least since the 70's. I'm puzzled Americans still talk about it and many Europeans pick up the talking point from youtube etc.
I find it a little bit disturbing Europeans are watching this and think seed oils in Sweden etc. are treated as badly as soy oil in North America. North European rapeseed oil is not bad for you despite what the America-centric activists say about their canola oil.
@@wombatillo Canola oil is Canadian.
One of the two things that contributed to me having severe stomach acid problems was seed oil. I figured it out many years ago when I noticed for some reason home made potato chips and french fries from the same restaurant gave me different levels of issues. I had been going to the movie theater recently as well, and I started thinking about how much the popcorn "butter" was bothering me. So I started removing all seed oil that I could, and using butter, lard, or olive oil, and a good 80% of my acid reflux went away. And long story short, I figured out I have a few food "allergies" that aggravates my psoriasis, which was causing the rest of it.
Seems crazy but a huge portion of acid problems is caused by H, pylori. It loves seed oil. If you distill cinnamon bark from 'Cinnamomum verum' and add 10-20 drops of the resulting hydrosol to a morning drink like coffee or tea it will kill the majority of H, pylori and not bother the rest of your gut bacteria. ending your adventures in Acid reflux. I discovered this reading a science paper that went out of it's way to test 1300 old wives tales and they found 4 that worked this was one of them.
I have stopped using margarine (which used to be better for you than butter) and now use butter instead. It is more expensive so I try not to use as much. My acid reflux is better better. As in I don't feel the need to take as much acid reducers. Which is much better for my health since acid reducers keep you from absorbing important nutrients from food. The older you get the more you need those nutrients.
@@susanfarley1332 Margarine has always been bad for you and pure cream and salt (butter) has always been good for you. It was a brainwashing scheme to get everyone eating unhealthy and the garbage ingredients were super cheap so those corporations that farmed the cotton seed oil etc...made a dirt cheap product and had to get you off butter to eat it. False advertising came in the twist all the nutrition to welcome margarine with open arms. Butter bad .. Margarine good. Their scheme worked to perfection.
Same. I never had very severe issues, but was having heartburn and bloating. I always felt like I had gas, but nothing was there. I guess my digestive tract was inflamed making it feel puffy. I feel great as long as I don't eat the oils
There's objectively nothing wrong with seed oils, it sounds like you should cut back on the junk food.
Best part of this channel is he separates the common misconceptions and the fringe theories from the truth not leans into either

@@kennethc2466 You probably missed the section in the video description where he cites the science. Or the parts in the video where he names the papers he's referencing, like at 16:49 and 23:59 for example.
I only consume content from free-range, grass-fed content producers. Needing to pay bills invalidates anything you say, even if it's true.
@@kennethc2466He's not qualified to give medical advice. Which is why he doesn't try to do so. He IS, however, qualified to cite the 5 studies he listed in the video description in order to communicate the current data on different dietary fats to his viewers. The whole idea behind "no lab coat required" is that the average person can and should engage with current research and incorporate what they learn into the decisions they make about their own health. Maybe chill out a bit.
@jegsh4299 literally everyone on the planet 'needs to pay bills' which means anything anyone says is invalidated, even the garbage that comes out of your mouth and the person whom you trust the most.
(Disclaimer: I'm just a doctor, so I'm not an expert in the field either. I'm also not exceptionally knowledgeable when it comes to cardiovascular disease. I am, however, very hesitant and skeptical about any health claims based on food recommendations because we've been wrong so many times.)
I'm a bit worried about how strong your recommendations against linoleic acid and thus vegetable oils are. I looked through the studies you cite, and your main point seems to come from the Open Heart Journal article, which is very convincing indeed. Yet their gigantic list of evidence in Box 1 contains only one mention of a meta-analysis, which is a small study. They later mention a larger review and meta-analysis. I haven't had time (or focus) to critically appraise that study, but on the surface it seems pretty well designed and has a large population base. However, all other evidence in Box 1 is either correlative, or mechanism-based. That's all fair and important information, but it's not at all conclusive evidence. Also, this is just one study, no matter how well designed, and you never know what hidden biases might be present.
You also cite a study about soybean oil, which seems to directly contradict your point. Moreover, the recommendations around the world are also not made without evidence, though I haven't dug into that. A central problem in food recommendations is that it's incredibly difficult to come up with good studies that reflect real-world consumption, avoid as much bias and confounding as possible, and are not just asking people to report what they ate retrospectively. Strong design and execution of food research has proven virtually impossible in so many cases (e.g. salt, which has divided the medical field for over half a century). So recommendations should be made with as much caution as possible. I also have problems with the government recommendations, for the same reason, as they are very absolute.
The theory is also very interesting, and I'd love to see the direction the research goes in the future. However, I think the evidence you cite is too weak for a video demonising vegetable oils and linoleic acid, while going directly against recommendations made by governments around the world. I'm not disagreeing with your conclusion, and I haven't spent hours, days, weeks digging into this. I also don't know if there were other studies you found that support your conclusion which you haven't mentioned, but from what I have gathered in these ~90 minutes it seems a bit more caution is warranted.
Tl;dr: it's interesting insight, but your recommendation seems more absolute to me than the evidence allows.
Also "just" a doctor, but not a nutritionist or expert in nutrition or anything and agree with your comment. I would recommend the podcast Science VS did on this topic. A lot of the studies they did a deep dive on did not find a correlation between cardiovascular disease and seed oils. They interviewed the major nutrition expert who is demonizing seed oil and raising alarm and boy did she sound foolish when challenged!
I saw a video a couple weeks ago where they compared data on the rise of various diseases to the rise in consumption of various things, particularly sugars and seed oils. The curves on all the disease graphs (diabetes, heart disease and several other conditions) very closely matched the curve of the seed oil graph, but surprisingly not so much the sugar graph. Apparently, heart disease along with many others was virtually unheard of prior to the introduction of seed oils into our diets. Another consideration to make is, with all the intense processing involved, how are our bodies - having only been exposed for a few generations - even recognizing these substances as actual food? Sure, they'd recognize the raw form when you, say, eat a handful of sunflower seeds, but the clear product in that plastic bottle on the grocery store shelf is no longer the same thing.
Humans have eaten a certain way for thousands and thousands of years, and it's just in our very recent history that we are now consuming all of these highly-processed products, with seed oils right up there alongside the GMOs, and isn't it ironic that we suddenly - in the same span of recent history - have countless debilitating ailments, with new diseases being "discovered" all the time? While I can certainly agree that correlation does not equal causation, it's really a bit too much to ignore.
At the end of the day, the best food that anyone can eat is that which they've raised/grown themselves, or acquired from a trustworthy source (local organic farmer).
This. Always read the studies carefully. There was a famous study about hormone replacement therapy that linked it to breast cancer, when the actual data they provided showed nothing of the sort. Not that anyone actually looked at the data...
This^ as a Med student I was constantly thinking "that's not how I would say this"
@@AgnesMariaL Is it really so hard to believe that with technology getting better, we have the means to find ‘new’ diseases- diseases that have likely been with us for millennia? It’s like saying that lemonade causes death by drowning, because lemonade sales and drowning deaths both go up at the same time- when in reality they’re both caused by summertime. With better technology comes the ability to process our foods, and change their genetics to our favor. Which, technically, we have been doing since the beginning of agriculture; the difference being that current technology allows us to select for the factors we want, rather than playing with a roulette wheel for thousands upon thousands of genes, some of which possibly being undesirable or harmful.
True, humans have eaten a certain way for thousands of years, but our lifespan has only started increasing since this last century. And that increase is purely due to better technology and a better understanding of the world around us. Genetic modification is the application of both in order to create desirable traits in our food. For example, by making crops more resistant against environmental conditions and disease, the use of pesticides becomes unnecessary. There was also a plan to send genetically modified rice that was rich in vitamin A to third-world countries, as the staple diet in such countries is just rice, with results in the deficiency of that vitamin. As a result, countless are crippled and die every year, just due to their diet. If successful, they could have saved those lives. But due to the fear that surrounds the technology, they were harassed, then buried under pointless regulations, making the project impossible.
Ultimately, the view that what’s ‘natural’ is good for us is regressive. Nature doesn’t care about any of us. If it really was a mother, it would be the most abusive one in all of history, pitting all her children in gladiatorial battles against each other. It also vilifies humans- for if what’s ‘natural’ is everything that humans haven’t touched or changed in some way, and only ‘natural’ is good, then the natural extension of such a philosophy is that humans and our creations are evil. It is our ability to innovate and shape the environment around us that has made us so successful- yet, as demonstrated with the rice, the ‘natural is good’ philosophy seeks to undo that. I very much urge you check your premises, as I doubt you would want to believe something that is ultimately evil. I hope you’ll take the time to consider what I say, instead of treating it like a threat to be dealt with. If you do consider it, I’ll be very grateful.
I’m hearing the song “everything good is bad… and everything bad is good” in my head now.
I'd like to note that rehydration salts can be found for substantially cheaper than the likely very nice sponsor. Rehydration salts can be as little as 50 cents a packet, and you can add your own flavoring. On top of that, you can approximate rehydration salts with the right ingredients, there are recipes online (not so much single use packaging that way).
This is a good comment. To add to this, you can also just buy salt tablets. There are many brands available. I've tried a few and I like Salt Stick. They are about 25 cents per pill. I work as a gardener in the summer and I also run and hike a lot, so I do a lot of sweating and I really need electrolyte replenishment. These pills are a game changer in the warmer months for me. I also really like how I can easily keep a small supply on me.
From what I've been told by my nutritionist you need to be careful with which brands you trust for supplements. Often times there's extra garbage added that may not be disclaimed since supplements are not food and are not subject to the same regulations. I wouldn't be surprised if there were cheaper and equally high quality salts out there and I'm sure you could make your own high quality mix if you were willing to buy lab grade stuff in bulk (which is afaik is what LMNT uses) but I personally trust LMNT to deliver a quality, good tasting mix that's easy to use and of course convenient for me (eating right is hard). The single use packaging is a bit of a catch 22 though (convenient but not great for the environment even if it's the better stuff).
@@grn1 I've trusted the WHO packets (the accreditation is on the packet itself) for years, since that's what we were given in Peace Corps. I don't doubt there's a lot of shady brands though
@@sarahwatts7152 Not familiar with WHO brand.
If WHO is the World Health Organization I still wouldn't fully trust it (I don't trust any government run organization since I've seen time and time again how little they care for ethics and how much they care for money, the food pyramid we grew up with was made by the government to feed soldiers for cheap, not keep them healthy).
To be fair, I've nothing seen anything shilled on YT to be worth buying. Think about it: It it was a good product at a fair price, it wouldn't need a YT salesperson.
This is the most understandable explanation of oxidation I’ve ever heard (or read). Johnny, you are an amazing communicator!❤
Totally agree. Je's a amazing at explaining things. Loved this video so much.
Yes, he is very talented.
I used to have really bad acne. It's largely under control now. But every time I eat food with a bunch of seed oil, I feel it on top of my head. They aren't just zits at that point. They're seed oil lumps.
I wish I learned about the big food pharma scam to make us chronically sick when I was your age. You have a great voice and presentation skills - keep up the good work!
Oh man, if I think about the huge amount of vegetable oil I've consumed in the past decades, I'm getting a bit worried lol.
Well, never too late to change course.
Correct, never. The body has incredible healing power. Even at 90 changes can occur but better start now. Good Luck
Don't worry too much stress might give you a heartattack :P
If it makes you feel better I think most dietitians would disagree with his conclusion and aggressive demonization of veg/seed oils here. Saturated fat from other oils is also not super great if it’s all you consume. Everything in moderation.
@@OliverEndingthis! I’m only seeing parasocial comments 😅
Saturated fat is much more stable and dosent oxidize like trans fats from seed oils do. It's much healthier.
This was such an amazing and informative video. I have severe ADHD and struggle to comprehend and pay attention to health/science videos, but I still have a passion to understand this topic. You explained and broke down complex concepts that I have been trying to understand by listening to podcasts with Doctors and Scientists for MONTHS.
Hey I also have ADHD, you should try long distance running (or any endurance cardio sport) it has totally changed my brain and allows me to focus intensely on tasks. Especially in the morning after my run! it takes a few weeks or months of consistent buildup to start to see gains, but thats ok because its 100% worth it. Nothing ive ever done has come close to the euphoria and calmness of mind I feel after a good run.
I agree. I've been researching this topic for a year to help my husband adopt a healthier diet and lifestyle after he was diagnosed with high cholesterol and insulin resistance. This is the first video that I've easily understood enough to explain it to him even though I've watched hundreds. He makes it all make sense. That's a true gift.
For real. That pause @2:40 was essential. This video is like a template to instruction videos. It's near perfect 👌
20:40 *
Yes love his breakdown of the topic. Taking seed oils out of my diet got me off 10 medications and my insulin. I know first hand they are bad for our bodies
When you said “canola oil” I was like, “wtf is canola oil?”
So I googled it.
Turns out, here in the U.K. we eat a lot of it, it just goes by a different name: rapeseed oil. It’s pretty popular here, and the fields of oil seed rape, the plant it comes from, are beautiful; fields of golden yellow.
Canola oil is a subset of rapeseed oil, not all rapeseed oil is canola.
@@1000g2g3g4g800999 Yeah, well, rapeseed is known, grown and used around the world. Canola seems to me to be american branding.
Rapeseed was always used as animal feed, sometimes biodiesel. But for the last few decades it has grown in popularity for oil extraction - possibly, also due to Montsanto's GMO variants.
Cold pressed is not the same as solvent pressed
In Canada they changed the name to Canola oil. Now the oil exported to China. Millions of gallons.
Rapeseed oil is labeled canola oil because people didn't like the name. Rape is a green, related to kale and collards. It's only yellow when it's blooming.
I'm a 67 year old general contractor and well read, I joined the book of the Month Club at age 12, for instance. Always preferred butter and preferred avocado and olive oils most of my life when I could help it. No medications and Dr said I'm " Pretty healthy ". Mom cooked with actual lard most of the time, not Cristo fake lard, but she personally liked margarine over butter for her toast, still lived to be 95
Lots of people may start to live to triple digits these days.
All actors from 50s and 60s TV
Are in their 90s
Dick van Dyke is 98
We were fed the lie in the 90’s that canola was the healthiest oil and I bet a lot of people stuck to it. I haven’t consumed seed oils in about 3.5 years, which also means I haven’t consumed restaurant or 99% of packaged foods in that timespan. Every bite I eat comes from home and I never thought I’d be that person!
I'd literally rather die earlier than not eat fried chicken. Do you really not drink alcohol ever either?
@@fuglong I make my own fried chicken! I tie one on every 5 years or so, but it's never been a regular thing for me.
@@fuglongchicken is good, whereas industrial lubricants are shockingly not originally meant for your body. Use natural fat instead.
@@ThBlueSalamander I have 1000000 things more important to worry about than oil bud. And you do too
@@fuglong using a different kind of oil wouldn't mean that you're worrying about it.
What a nerd 🤓. So brightly exposing the fact in a comprehensive way, that everyone is able to understand without a "lab coat" ... I thank the Gods that have given you such talent to manage with grace and intelligence. Well done 👍. 😊
I never realized that oil was so processed and sort of disgusting. Thanks for getting the info out there!
I remember always having canola oil in the house growing up, but since, we have switched to avocado oil and olive oil
Isn't avocado oil too expensive. Can't find them in my country. Tempted to try make em myself.
I wish I had a science teacher like you when I was in school! I’m 62 and the past couple decades I’ve learned how awe inspiring science & the scientific method is. Who knows what I would’ve been if I had discovered my love of science back then.
Except he doesn't know anything he is talking about...
@@Ratchetti Of course you’re brilliant and much more savvy, right?🤣
@@loriw2661 Well, he is dead wrong about seed oils, which is sad because it's not hard to find all the meta-analyses that prove they are completely harmless
@@Ratchetti Harmless yes!! the problem is voiding the nutrients the body craves daily.
Being the kid of a Swiss mother and a Portuguese father, growing up, the two main fats in the kitchen were butter and olive oil... but I was lucky. Most of my friends's parents could only acces cheap margarine and ultra refined oils. And back then they were convinced they were healthier.
You do such a good job at breaking down complex issues and making them easily understandable! Keep up the good work!
In my country they never change the oil they fry in , in restaurants , whenever it evaporate they just add more
My science teacher rants about seed oil every day almost
Good
I have never encountered a better explanation of atherosclerosis! This is definitely something everyone needs to know. On the subject of sugar, I would say it is also an extremely important topic. Thanks!
Amazing video, if you missed one massive thing was at the end when you could have mentioned it isnt just us throwing oil in a frying pan that is our major source of processed seed oil but the fact that nearly EVERY food item you find in a grocery has these poly unsaturated fats as part of the ingredients list just called something else to be tricky.
You buy white bread? It has it. Ice cream? It has it. Boxed lunches? They're in there also!
Essentially it's a major part of the standard American diet because it is cheap to produce and will be used by all food manufacturers when profits matter more than health.
Eggs are a major source of unsaturated fats. Are you saying eggs are poison?
@@Thinkcrown he said POLY unsaturated fats. Pay attention.
@@LloydsofRochesterPolyunsaturated fat … is an unsaturated fat.
An important point. So much pre-prepared food you can buy in a store or restaurant is chock full of junk, and not just bad fats. Yes, even the stuff that isn't obvious junk food. I cook for myself from scratch as much as I can but it's tough.
@@ThinkcrownWait till they see the amount of unsaturated fat in meats.
i cant tell you how much i love how well and informative this video is, keeping it in a well defined scope of what you came out to inform, as well as a brief recap of the whole video.
That "veggie or not, here I come" Amazing. Just subscribed. Also great content.
Man you kill it every single time. Love the content and the enthusiasm.
Your videos never fail to impress me. The quality, the editing, the step-by-step information, and usually, a shocking revelation about our food habits. Thank you!
Showing this video to everyone I've talked to about seed oils and didn't believe me. This isn't just bro science.
On a side note, I went down the seed oil rabbit hole halfway through last year, and after cutting back I've already noticed an incredible boost in my overall health
It is broscience. His citations weakly support his claims if at all and the one on soy outright opposes him.
Yes!!!!! Finally!!!! An actual visual understanding of mono & poly fats. Thank you, seriously. From me & every other gym bro that obsesses about diet, but could never remember which one causes an estrogenic effect.
Phytoestrogens don't affect humans the same way estrogen itself does. Now if you wanted the effects of estrogen and were taking it, you'd want to generally avoid phytoestrogens because they interfere with the body's estrogen receptors from what I heard.
the estrogens in plants are referring to the chemical structure estrogen and not the hormone.
Absolutely fantastic presentation! I have a class starting tomorrow and will direct my students to your channel.
Thank you for the time and effort you place into making these presentations. Fortis Mane!
Love your content brother! You are helping everyone getting healthier by broadcasting your videos. Respect! I wish you great health and tremendous success. You deserve it! All the best!
Thank you for bringing light to these things. I've been studying these items for a while and while I disagree with a few things in the last videos you are on point with this one. I appreciate you man.
Much respect, thank you.
THANK you for the breakdown. It's very enlightening overall and makes me glad I save some tallow/lard for stuff like fixing tonkatsu with. Still not the healthiest, but knowledge is certainly the power to be healthier in this circumstance
And sugar being a catalyst? Whoda thunk it?
Tallow and lard would be fine if the animal was grass fed and organic. 😢
Tallow and lard are still way better than any oil. I use Kerry gold butter too.
Rid yourself of the outdated notion that tallow and lard are unhealthy (from grass-fed animals is best), We were deceived about saturated fat. There's a whole backstory that involves Proctor and Gamble, The American Heart Association, and the man who conducted the now debunked Seven Countries study, making deals and getting in bed together to push seed oils on us by convincing us they were healthier
more pathway videos please! Loving your content! Thank you for what youre doing!
Yes! Thank you for making this video! I’ve been looking for a video that explains this process, and you did it so well! I learned a lot and really appreciate your analogies! 😊
Thank you for the reminder to leave a like, I often forget and your reminders keep making sure I like yours!
I have seen multiple meta analysis studies that showed high consumption of these seed oils actually led to positive health outcomes and both high intake of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids were good for you. So I am not sure what to make of the claims in this video other than highlighting a chemical reaction chain is not the same thing as how these things actually affect the human body in the aggregate.
Yea, it's far better to focus on outcome data in studies than mechanisms. I'll stick to olive oil and canola oil.
I used to work on inspecting tanks and piping systems for soybean processing plants and let me tell you…this guy is 100% correct. The situation is eye-opening. Literally one of the most disgusting places I’ve been to and it’s crazy people consume this stuff. After that I’ve tried my best to avoid soybean anything by any means
The disgusting way in which oils seep into things, break them down, and become rancid without refinement is how all oil is. You would likely feel the same about whatever oil facilities you had to work for.
@@godminnette2 when it’s for human consumption you take that into consideration. Oil plants used for fuel is a lot cleaner surprisingly because there’s much stricter regulation with fuel over food. FDA doesn’t look at a lot. But hey keep eating your soybean oil doesn’t bother me
@@hiphopshinobi That is not the worst part of the whole thing, then there high estrogen problem in soy, and people magical believe that estrogen doesn't have medical problems, when it could leads to over active immune system and autoimmune disease problem. Not a doctor.
@@hiphopshinobi I sorry I can't make a comment on the soy chemical I can't name. I hurt peoples' feelings.
Great video Johnny. Love the delivery of the more in depth info. Keep up the great work!
Thank you, Young Man! Wish you were around when I was younger - your truths were, but the presentation wasn't. I can see the care and work that you put into your presentations - much appreciated.
So happy I found and subscribed to this channel. Another great (aka "banger") video, my good man!
Like a secondary electron, your videos help de-radicalize me.
Man, this channel needs more subs for sure. I just did when I realised I wasn't. The videos that you put out are super insightful and layman-friendly. I gave the video a like too, so tell your manager to chill!
Great show. I have worked in the field of cardiology for 25 years, and have never heard a cardiologist explain the fine detail of ldls. Good job, I will be sharing this video /your Chanel with my associates. Good job.
Excellent primer on LDL, inflammation and fatty acids! Keep it up! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love this channel. Thanks for making these informative videos.
love this !! beautiful edits and delivery and content :))
I am so glad to see your channel growing. Great work on the break down, you lay things out in a very easy to understand way that I think will really help people grasp how this all works, and take better steps to live a healthier life. Keep it up👍
This was the number one easiest to understand breakdown of oils and their effect on our body. Thank you so very much for this as I feel better informed than I've ever been even though I've been researching this topic for over a year.
If you've been researching this for over a year you've been delving deep into conspiracy. There's not even remotely enough info ABOUT how seed oils effect us to fill half a year with research. Then again that'd make sense why you so readily accepted this random person's opinion without critical thought
@@cherriberri8373 actually, this is the one video that described the oxidation process in a way that I could easily teach someone else. You obviously have some misconception that this is easy for everyone to understand. The truth is, though, that this particular explanation gave me a visual I hadn't gotten in my previous research. That made all the difference in my grasping of the subject. I now understand how blood clots and atherosclerotic plaque form in relation to oils in the diet.
@@chelelee6321 No he did a good job explaining the theories of how oil breaks down in our body but then switched to his own opinion instead of science, saying seed oils need to be removed.
I love this channel dude keep it up!
I deeply appreciate your videos and your clarity of explanation. You are one of very few sources of information I trust and can follow the logic of fully. Thank you so much, you are devoting yourself to actually helping people. The world needs more heroes like you.
I LOVE this channel and I LOVE this video! I'm 55 and needed to learn this WAAAAY before now. And I wish healthcare providers would or could explain all of this is as easy a way as your video does. I have three grown kids and I'm sending them all this video.
Brilliant. One of your best lessons so far. I have watched a lot of info dumps from others on parts of your narrative but the way you put this together was excellent. Looking forward to the day you tie "all" of your this is good for you, this is bad for you video's into a 'big picture video'. I like how your trend is to gently show how 'old knowledge be wrong'. We just don't replace the BS we think is real, with good new info enough.
Thank you for breaking all that down bro, I learned a lot👍👍💪
Crushed it again!!! Thank you for the knowledge bomb man. Hugs and love from me and mine to you and yours. Please keep this valuable information flowing like a river of truth!
YT just recommended this video. I love the way how you break down the science for a younger generation. Liked and Subscribed just to make your manager :) happy.
i went seed-oil free a year ago because of my wife doing so. 1 year later and my dr is accusing me of taking supplements because of how much better literally every number of my blood work is. I can feel it when I eat too many seed oils now.
let me guess as you left the doctors office you found $20 and then everyone in the waiting room clapped?
@@kingkarlito let me guess you're unhappy with life and find your kicks by trolling online? If you're going to do it man at least get better at it so it's entertaining.
Gil from Nutrition Made Simple debunked this conspiracy about seed oils. There is a mountain of RCTs showing they are healthier than saturated fat.
To those confused by this comment after the fairly thorough video: NLCR only covers one mechanistic component of seed oil digestion, which can often be misleading due to it being difficult to know other factors that might impact it in the body that can mitigate or prevent these mechanistic effects. There's plenty of analysis which concludes that there is no reason to believe seed oils are harmful in the ways commonly purported by those who focus on mechanistic research, or by those who have enormous naturalistic biases (confirmation biases that what they perceive to be more natural must be inherently superior or healthier).
@@godminnette2 exactly, well said
You summarized several videos I have watched over the last year or so. Really helps me to tie some things together. Also to get a bit of a molecular understanding of what is happening with clogging of arteries is awesome.
This channel is really great! Need more content like this on UA-cam!
OMGGGG hi hello what’s up Mr Required i’m on a road trip right now and your video is saving me from boredom AND educating me about things I only know the surface level about😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
this guy could probably explain the Krebs cycle in a way i could actually understand and remember it
I remembered it when I took biology, every single step of it.
Well done! You’ve officially started down “the rabbit hole”. I commend you! All the smart people in the room have known for years, even decades, that the increased consumption of sugars (carbohydrates) and seed oils are strongly correlated with the origin of, and increase in, all chronic diseases and obesity. The introduction of the US governments dietary guidelines (the food pyramid experiment, 1980) have turbo-charged this trajectory. I say “rabbit hole” because the food, pharmaceutical and medical industries big-money messaging have largely won. However, fueled by internet access to the real science, grassroots communities are rallying to disseminate the truth. You have now dipped your toe into the pool. I hope you continue on a path of dietary trurth to the people. More videos like this one please.
This video combines all the mish mash information I have heard around and makes it understandable. It is perfect!
Love your videos!
You explain really complicated stuff in a really easily digestible and unpretentious way (that wasn't supposed to be a pun :-p). This is awesome!
Just found this channel, thank you for breaking things down. Always loved nutrition but get overwhelmed easily and you make everything easy to digest.
This was so fun to watch and educational 🎉
You are going to blow up! Keep doing what you love
During my third year of my biochem degree, I learned about this and immediately went home threw out all my mom's oils and bought avocado oil 🤣
So glad the rest of us didn't have to go through that to find out!
You clearly still don't know enough, sees oils are perfectly fine and healthy for you
I have to say you're the best nutrition youtuber (I know you do more than that but you're particularly good at explaining this stuff) hands down imo. Not only did you break down what the oils do to your body very clearly, but you went into such detail that I feel like I just took a semester of biology on my lunch break and I laughed a few times too. Solid 10/10 video
Not seeing a lot of comments to your wondering about canola oil, so I'll add my two cents. I do think it's somewhat cultural; growing up in the 90s and early 00s in a rural predominantly white community as a low income person, canola oil was considered a "staple" in my kitchen. I don't remember seeeing canola oil in the kitchens of my middle class friends except maybe like around the holidays.
Honestly, one of the best, clearest explanations on this I've seen. I had great taste subbing to your channel already lol
Canola Oil is very common overseas. It's a by product from bio-fuels. They grow massive fields of it.
I rarely see soybean oil in the supermarkets. It seems to be used mainly by companies to manufacture "food"
In America, soybean oil is often sold as just vegetable oil instead of being specifically marketed as soy while the others are marketed for the specific seed they are. It may be different overseas, but that’s why you may not see it here as much as it’s used.
Love this video, most of the channels that present the seed oil problem feel conspiratorial, but this seems well researched and explained.
Really love your channel and content!
Your channel just got recommended to me and I love your personality and editing style.
I love seeing creators explain complex topic in a common register so that everyone can understand the language in order to grasp the concepts. I typically argue that this is the practical definition of "mastery" of a subject, and I'm glad that your channel showed up in my algorithm! Subscribing and commenting for the algorithm to make up for my watching in double speed
That chart you brought up at 26:40. It would be interesting to see a similar chart with a breakdown of the PUFAs into their constituent PUFAs e.g., Omega 3, 6 and 9. It is well known that sea fish are generally high in Omega 3 and therefore healthy. The chart gives a distorted view of the health benefits of the oils shown. BTW a good vid.
Thanks for putting this information together along with your understandable explanations. I heard people ragging on seed oils for a while now without giving good reasons. ANOTHER USEFUL AND ENTERTAINING VIDEO.
Very good, it took me more than a year to gather all this information and as a rule people only get interested after their first heart attack. So that's already two times kudos and then you top it off with modern nerdy presentation. Very good
My mom uses canola oil when she actually cooks, and I think that's mostly for the cost, though she could've be told it was healthier. I mostly try to use olive oil, myself
Just don't overheat it. It has a low smoke point, making it suddenly UNhealthy.
She should stop using it. Butter and fat is healthier.
@@marieh9627 the Christian God himself could descend from the heavens amidst a choir of angels, slap her in the face, and demand she change her ways and she *STILL* wouldn't change
Hard to fry stuff crispy in it tho.
I think the take away that many seem to be missing is not to allow fear to drive you to suddenly and radically change your diet and lifestyle, but to have the knowledge to do things that are better for you, now and in the long term, such as limiting, if not eliminating fast food and take out. And definitely cutting back on manufactured food. I know most people say 'processed' but being a person who cooks, cans and dehydrates, I understand that even when you are doing it in your own kitchen, you are processing the food you eat, so for clearer language I say manufactured. Process your own foods and buy fresh when you can. I understand that people have lives, but this is a step into extending and possibly improving your life. These videos are great for giving people the kick that they made need to live a better life, but stop short of making extreme, unsustainable changes... or thinking that you have to or you're going to become gravely ill or die...that's all I'm saying.
I appreciate all your videos young man. Thank you
love your style, keep up the awesome work. sharing with all the mates. iv read up a lot about this topic and you've managed to explain it better than i ever could. nice1
Fantastic as always. We should use animal based fats in our cooking, butter, cream, lard, ghee, etc. The abrupt increase in plant oils from the 1970's is due to a court case where this businessman sued a major fast-food chain after a heart attack. Nothing to do with the fact that he ate at the chain everyday, or that his own company manufactured plant oils and wanted to crush the competition.
I was suprised how much processed food in stores has oil, especially palm and soy bean.
My mom is a dietitian and I am a bio teacher. Just want to say I really like your critical thinking approach to content (as science should be). My advice is usually balance. Your body needs some ratio of monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated with some genetic variability. Hydrogenated oils are the biggest culprit of heart disease. Also it is very multifactorial- lifestyle choices, poverty, and lack of education
I loved how you talked about the subject to the detail but making it digestible for people who don't have a chemistry background. I loved also that you didn't do terrorism on the oil subject, rather giving a perfectly do-able strategy to minimize the damage and the risks. Thank you. It's great to have people who know how to research and to explain giving alternatives that are not "stop consuming those oils at once or you'll die of heart disease", but something really good for everyone to think about.
Just subscribed to your channel
