Summary

What if everything you thought you knew about “heart-healthy” cooking oils was based on outdated science and clever marketing? In this episode, I’ve sat down once again with Max Lugavere, and we’ve had an amazing conversation about the metabolic chaos that modern seed oils are silently creating in our bodies, and why the food industry’s favourite oils might be driving the global rise in chronic disease. We also uncovered some actionable steps that we hope to see prioritised with the new government, and especially with the Make America Healthy Again movement.
