0:22.2 | For weekly updates, visit Dr. Russo.com. |
0:25.4 | Hey, everyone. Welcome back. Let's discuss seed oils. |
0:28.4 | I was quite keen to do a deep dive on seed oils and inflammation, heart disease, processing chemical |
0:35.8 | solvents, and hexane, heating, overheating, reheating, |
0:40.0 | and their use in processed foods. |
0:43.2 | So today, we'll summarize what was over 75 hours of research amongst our research team |
0:50.4 | and myself, distilling over 50 studies down into a few really important conclusions |
0:57.0 | regarding seed oils, some of which are positions I've changed my mind on in light of the research |
1:04.5 | that we've gone through. So just as a quick recap and a few points of nomenclature, seed oils are rich in omega-6, especially |
1:15.5 | linoleic acid. And many of the papers that we'll discuss, you'll hear this term |
1:20.7 | linoleic acid come up. It's kind of a stand-in for seed oils, again, because seed oils |
1:26.2 | are very rich in linoleic acid. And conversely, seed oils, again, because seed oils are very rich in the in olayic acid. |
1:29.0 | And conversely, seed oils are low in saturated fat. |
1:34.5 | Soybean, canola, safflower, sunflower, cotton seed, grape seed, peanut, sesame, these are all |
1:41.1 | seed oils. |
1:42.2 | And olive oil and avocado oil are not seed oils. |
1:49.2 | Regarding linoleic acid, it is considered an essential fatty acid that the body can't synthesize. |
1:56.8 | It needs to obtain through diet. |
1:59.5 | Deficiencies can lead to dry skin, hair loss, metabolic, |
2:03.3 | problems of various sorts, and it does function as an important component of the inner mitochondrial |
