PAUL SALADINO: Seed oils accumulate in some membranes, and we can't get rid of it. Probably causes increased permeability of membranes, it accumulates in mitochondrial membranes

My problem with most pork is that it's fed grains, corn, and soy and that corn and soy are very high in linoleic acid and pigs and chickens can't get rid of that linoleic acid, which means the fat of pigs and the fat of chickens fed corn and soy ends up much higher in linoleic acid than the corresponding fat of a wild pig or a wild chicken.  And wild chickens and wild pigs, the amount of linoleic acid is around 5% or 6%, but in domesticated chickens and pigs, you're looking at 15% or 16% linoleic acid.  And excess linoleic acid is the polyunsaturated fatty acid found in seed oils that I'm very worried about for a variety of reasons.  

Learn more about seed oils from Saladino through the podcasts he's done with Georgy Dinkov, Tucker Goodrich, and Jeff Nobbs.  Lots of reasons why seed oils and linoleic acid in seed oils harm humans.  It accumulates in some membranes, and we can't get rid of it.  Probably causes increased permeability of membranes, it accumulates in mitochondrial membranes in the cardiolipin, causing problems with the electron transport chain.  Leads to increased oxidation of LDL, increased oxidized LDL, and has been shown in randomized controlled studies, like the Minnesota Coronary, which is a long study with over 9,000 participants to be linked directly in that randomized controlled trial to higher rates of coronary heart disease, which makes sense when you realize that linoleic acid gets into the LDL particles and causes increased oxidation, etc. 

Will never forget the first time I ate food that included Canola oil.  My heart flipped inside my chest.  Shocked the hell out of me.

From Health-Giving Animal Fats to Health-Destroying Seed Oils, the Old Food Switch-a-roo

Hey are you still debating about whether to totally cut all seed oils out of your diet?

Seed oils block protein digestion in the stomach, leading to malnourishment after a full meal, which you see among Americans who overeat; yet lack vital nutrients.

Hello, the unroll you asked for: People love to talk bad about seed oils but not once have a seen… https://t.co/ldDmXbJ7gG Share this if you think it's interesting. 🤖

I've been told by a doctor fish oil supplements are good for Omega-3 and help inflammation

In alphabetical order, these are the seed oils that you want to avoid: Canola oil, Corn oil, Cottonseed oil, Grapeseed oil, Rice bran oil, Safflower oil, Soy oil, and Sunflower oil.  And as you read that list, you might say to yourself, "Wait a minute, isn't Sunflower oil good for you?  I mean it's made from the sun, which is good, right?"  Or what about Rice bran oil?  We've heard so many good things about rice bran, right?  Sort of.  There may be biological benefits derived from some of these seeds in a different form, but in the form of oil due to its processing, it renders them problematic in the biological processes of your body.  

Dr. Catherine Shanahan, otherwise known, as Dr. Cate, writing for Better Nutrition, explains, 

Although they’re usually refined, even unrefined and cold-pressed versions of these oils pose the same health risks, because the oils are naturally rich in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs). The molecular structure of PUFAs makes them very unstable in the human body, where they generate tremendous amount of free radicals--chaotic reactions that damage cells.  

Free radicals are a normal byproduct of metabolism that our bodies are equipped to handle, but only up to a point. Seed oils produce an onslaught that far exceeds our innate capacity. “Free radicals are bad for us in the same way that radiation is bad for us,” says Dr. Cate. When you eat a lot of PUFA-rich seed oils, she adds, “it’s like you have dirty bombs inside your cells.”

PUFAs are inflammatory and damage the lining of blood vessels, affecting overall circulation and blood flow to the brain, and increasing the risk for heart disease and diabetes.
