I have seen more than enough evidence (actual research beyond just youtube videos) on this topic already. I see no reason to fear all seed oils and the people fearmongering, present no valid evidence and are usually pushing something else. Beyond this, I almost exclusively cook with avocado oil out of convenience so I don't really care. Besides that I use sesame oil, show me something against sesame oil and I'll certainly take a look.

I was actually a Ray Peat fan (and before him, the Carnivore diet). I now realize after some deep work on myself and some introspection and an open mind, why they adhere to their beliefs as strongly as they do: They dissociate mechanistic "evidence" from the bigger picture (which is why they poo-poo epidemiology in one fell swoop). But the more I look at the data, the more I realize their principles just do not bear out in the bigger picture, and dissociating mechanistic evidence from epidemiology is like mistaking the pixel for the bigger picture.

I was an active partaker of the keto diet as well. Even with all my physical activity and watching my body fat and adhering what I thought was a good diet... even with all of that, I became pre-diabetic. One day I watched the film "What the Health?" My life began to change after that . I then started to watch more videos on KZread, I followed this channel and I also read "How Not to Die" by doctor Greger. Fast forward, I have the heart health of a man of 22 years of age now. I am very very far from developing diabetes now.

Finally, i have been waiting for this topic for months. You are doing a great job Chris. I have been struggling with my acne for 8 years and it ravaged my face with deep scars. I went 4-5 years of medication and the drugs gave me constipation. When I stopped taking them my acne went back in a few months. Then I tried to cut sugar for months, it didn't work. Tried low carb diet as well it got better but I still had 3 or 4 big swelling acnes/week. Then I tried plant based diet and it worked in just 1 week 🙂 You got a big thank you from me clarifying a lot of disinformation around the topic. I think this actually might be a blessing in disguise, on the journey combating acne I learned about nutrient at least 30-40 earlier than most people. I'm only 22 now, there's a long way to go.

Thank you so much, Brett. In my mind, people like you who worked with my mom are angels. One thing I didn't mention is the 595 people in the Minnesota Coronary Experiment who were studied for more than a year made it that long because they were not released from their institutions, which to me implies they were the ones struggling the most. But I was inferring so I left it out.

I declare this thing called “The MacAskill Walk.” Decades ago I recognized that 60 Minutes, in need of visuals during narration, would show the primary story subject walking down the sidewalk, walking in their yard, or walking in some other such place. As a photojournalist myself, I dubbed it “The 60 Minutes Walk.” You see this technique everywhere these days. Mr. Chris takes this a step further (no pun intended) by delivering his narration WHILE walking. It’s a brilliant technique and is heightened by the fabulous locales used. I’m also in awe because talking coherently while walking, and filming yourself, is a lot harder than it looks. Just be careful you don’t trip over a tree root. Oh ya, seed oils… Now I don’t feel so bad about using Canola oil for years.

Hahaha, thanks George! It started as a whim because I've had a lifelong habit of walking while I talk on the phone - anything to get the blood moving.

I keep having to pause for helicopters and planes (noise) and if I make a mistake while I'm blabbing, it's really hard to fix it - especially in places like the Baylands, I found out, because there was so much ambient bird noise there that re-recording a segment from my houzz was hard.

I've waded through the results of thousands of nutrition studies and more than a thousand nutrition videos, and this is one of the best.

I discoverd your channel last week and the vidoes all make such perfect sense to me! I come from german decent on my granfather's side and his family is riddled with heart disease. They all love the traditional bratwursts, cream and other processed food. Well everyone except for my grandfather, seeing as he moved away at 20 and since then has been content eating from his gardens, the favourites being potatoes and spinach. I found it strange that at 80 he is the only one who hasn't suffered a major cardiac event until now. Doctors have raised an eyebrow at him when he stands up in the waiting room as he dosen't look like his peers of the same chronological age. Think I have to steal his recipe book next time I visit hahha

As always you are absolutely amazing. It resonated with me when Dr. Esselstyn said about oils, "Would you add a little gasoline to a fire?" As you said, he is helping folks with advanced heart disease and so he takes a hard line on oils. Thank you for all the work you do to create this life changing content!

Amazing range of source citing and insights; your motivation and effort impresses me! Thanks!

I've been very critical on some of your videos... but now I want to thank you deeply for this huge work. By getting one foot deeper in the science than the influencers (the one step so many of us haven't taken or can't easily take), you are making a powerful case, palatable even to people from the other side. I feel that you are right were you should be, and hope you keep pushing forward. Thank you, and congratulations on the great content. If I can give one advice, is to keep extreme caution in filtering out any statement that you haven't thoroughly checked, lest you be debunked on that statement alone.

I've been strict vegetarian for the last 22 years. Last year, I found out I was blessed/cursed with the high blood cholesterol gene. Yay me! Anyway, I switched to a whole food plant based diet with extremely little processed oil of any kind. I have those ground flax seeds, nuts and seeds. But, occasionally I eat at restaurants... And there's my oil for the month. And salt. So yeah. Anyway, since August when I changed I had a rapid weight loss of 15 pounds, followed by slowly gaining it back as my body adjusted to the new style of eating. I'm still slim and fit, and get plenty of exercise. The blood cholesterol numbers are slowly coming down, as is my blood pressure. So thanks for the analysis of the analysis. :) As I haven't got the time to read all of the science you have. Thanks!

About to re-watch this. Thanks for all you do. I can't believe I've been lost for so long

This is a fabulous video on this topic, it has always been so confusing so thank you for this great overview 😊

The ease of transforming PUFA seed oils to trans fats when cooking needs to be addressed. Also, the industry standard for being able to claim 0 trans fats is if there is 0.5 grams or less per serving. Manufacturers adjust their serving size to meet this limit. This limit is due to a cheap testing method that is used, not because this it the level where adverse physiological effects can occur. This is the major reason that I avoid all of these oil types. A secondary reason is ease of oxidation. These oils rapidly oxidize and this is also referred to as rancidity (although other factors add to rancidity). This type of oxidation is also harmful to a persons cellular physiology. This is easily searched. Studies conducted in labs have access to testing equipment to ensure that their oils aren’t rancid, oxidized and/or with trans fat content. Black seed oil is a supplement, somewhat a bad faith inclusion. Vegetable as a broad category meaning plant-based separate from animals, highlights the plant-based community’s own use of new language - language isn’t static. Sesame oil historically was pressed fresh, no one was using cottonseed, corn or canola oil prior industrialization. Some people even use the term ‘industrial seed oils’ to signify this. You breezed over canola oil being named from Canada oil, this was a marketing decision since no one wanted to consume rapeseed oil due to its association with the toxic euricic acid. Canola oil is low euricic acid rapeseed oil and can contain up to 2% euricic acid - look up its harms to the heart. You have a lot of information, but you are also cherry picking. I am a plant forward omnivore; I don’t eat industrial seed oils if I can avoid it (they aren’t in my home) and I also avoid gluten and refined carbohydrates. Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Andrew Huberman and Abel James all have good information on this type of diet. You mention being trained in Earth Science, I have a BS in Biochemistry and a MS in Analytical Chemistry.

This episode was amazing, I really enjoyed it, thank you Chris! Look forward to the interview with the Mastering Diabetes guys 😁

Chris, this video (and btw the whole channel) is just brilliant. I hope you don't feel sad about your channel not taking off in popularity, since you lean on so much science that it puts you along the masters at the right end of your chart. Big thank you for this wonderful work.

Thanks, Gabriel! You know, I'm lucky in that I can just make the videos I want, not take sponsorships, not have to market them, worry about SEO, yada. I guess that will keep my number of subscribers low. 🤷 It's okay, it's the making of the videos I love.

So glad you've made a video on this subject because I came across this similar subject on WIL, became intensely suspicious of his channel (which I had just followed that very day) and unfollowed that channel and stumbled on yours instead. And how glad I am to have. Speaking as an omnivore with IBS, who casually bodybuilds and dives into fitness, your information has been a treasure trove.

​@@haobuhao8701Try cutting out common inflammatory foods for a bit, like gluten, dairy, eggs, or such. Even things like celiac often go undiagnosed as suspected IBS or some such. Just worth trying in case it is a single thing

So... what is the final verdict? Oils are best avoided because they are heavily processed and induce inflammatory responses to endothelial tissues in blood vessels and organs?

Yes. Fats and oils in the diet are ideally eaten in whole plant based foods still bound in fiber with raw unsalted nuts and seeds likely the healthiest sources. This is a pretty basic recommendation from nearly all dieticians and nutritionists (basic nutritional science). Whether you should eat added oil in the diet varies and most nutritionists would tell you to eat extra virgin olive oil if you do but I expect that will change over time. More fluid fats and oils are mostly better than less fluid fats which would make olive oil a better choice than coconut oil for example, but you're most likely seeing studies that are comparing one bad food choice with another to see which is less bad.

personally I get immediately sick if I eat industrially refined oils like rapeseel or sunflower oils. I read somewhere that it could have to do with how to go through processing. Not so with extra virgin olive oil tho.

I don't think there are any long term studies comparing vegetable oil to no cooking oil at all. Inflammation from eating a particular food like sugar or some kind of cooking oil in a meal is temporary. Inflammation like this needs to be "chronic" to impact your health. Disease causes "chronic" inflammation. Being overweight causes "chronic" inflammation. Not much else does. Exercise causes inflammation too but it is actually good for you because it is temporary and it signals your body to repair itself and grow stronger.

I watched the interview of Dr. Sarah Hallberg who passed away last week in her 40s by Dr. Peter Attia. Dr. Hallberg said she was vegan most of her life. She followed Dr. Ornish. She adopted keto diet (mostly likely after her lung cancer diagnosis) in 2017. I felt very sorry for the young talented doctor. In the same time, I was wondering if diet really helped preventing cancer. Heart disease is easier to control using diet. But cancer is difficult.

Really awesome video. Thank you so much for making this. I wasn't going to stop olive oiling my veges in the pan as I love how they taste but I will be checking out my my store bought vege burgers!

Another triumph Chris. I love the wooded place you were walking through. Your 3 recommendations are pretty much the conclusion I came to over the years. I do tend to lean the family towards rapeseed (canola) and olive oils over corn or sunflower oils based on what I read in "Becoming Vegan" by David and Melina (2000). I'm sure you have it on your shelf somewhere. We can now get extra virgin locally produced rapeseed oils which are nice. Very few olive groves or fields of sunflowers here in Scotland.

Thanks, Roger! 😁 Honestly, I really expected the high omega 6, highly process oils to be less healthy because intuitively it makes so much sense. So I was pretty startled to not find much evidence of that. But, like you, I still lean towards olive and canola for the little bit we do consume (in hummus and my farmer's market tamales 😛).

@@cfbrew2 But we eat food not individual ingredients. Not every single thing we put in our mouths has to be perfectly full of nutrients. Some oil is OK just don't live off the stuff and avoid it if you have confirmed heart disease. An example might be thickening a sauce with corn flour. Corn flour is a totally refined food but used as a minor ingredient in home cooking it is probably fine. The perfect is the enemy of the good.

@@PlantChompers i thinlk it is about the amount of highly processed seed oils that is added to almost all processed foods that is the problem. The balance of omega 3 and 6 fats is out of whack in most people and causes inflammation. If you eat natural foods and some high in omega 3 a person can handle seed oils. Dr cywes had a good video on that, because the keto community can be obsessive(as do the vegans). The main problem is balance in 3/6 and processed foods.

I'd love to hear Plant Chompers' thoughts on Thomas Delauer's approach to Mediterranean low net carb ("keto") combined with carb cycling as well as his delving into scientific studies. Thomas seems to be a compelling influencer, especially with his scientific citations, vernacular, public admiration of science, and open minded mentality. I'd love to see a collaboration between you two, I feel like he'd be open to it. There are so many out there that just want to know what the right thing to live long, healthy, happy lives with their family and friends. It's disheartening to live in an age with so much misinformation and profiting at the cost of human life. I appreciate the dedication influencers like yourself are trying to do. Your video on the life expectancy of diet influencers has convinced me to expand my horizons from having started with Thomas, but I still believe in a lot of things that Thomas has said in how he's helped me in my first steps into being healthier. I've decided to move more towards plant foods and less animal foods, but I'm still torn between the two worlds. I mean some of those influencers lived to 100 eating meat sometimes, and if everyone only ate meat sparingly, that also can have a huge impact towards the environment (well that and over producing and consumption in general I suppose). There can't simply be just one right answer, right? Someone's longevity like William Shatner baffles me. Many family members and friends weigh on my opinions on health and it's so vital that I try and find the right path, as many others might be facing.

I love you. You do awesome work with your videos. I am really impressed👍🏼

Forever grateful to the algorithm that suggested me your video. Greetings from Finland 👋🏻

I've been making homemade hummus from dried chickpeas and I find with a good quality tahini I don't need the olive oil but I do enjoy a little in my salad dressing. I too have a family history of heart disease and can easily raise my cholesterol if I have too much saturated fat (180 vs current 148... I'm 33, BMI 20.5, and active). I find being thoughtful about when I'm using oil vs using it by default has helped a lot. Also by reducing use at home I don't feel so bad when eating out or at my parents who are nice enough to make vegan food but use a lot of oil.

The biggest surprise of this take is the lack of difference in health between omega 3 and 6 oils. This is different than what I've been reading for decades.

Thank you very much for spending so much time and effort on you videos. Could you maybe also do a video on Soy, as I only find confusing information on it with the one side calling it completely healthy and the other side claiming it's horrible. Also in the future a summary video about what and what not to eat as an average person would be cool.
