Why influencers are turning against seed oils
Original: Are seed oils unhealthy? Why are so many influencers speaking out against them? | Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz By Gideon Meyer
Epidemiologist Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz examines the growing influencer campaign against seed oils in a Guardian piece. He notes that randomised trials of omega-6 fatty acids show no increase in inflammation, challenging claims that seed oils harm health. The article weighs the viral anti-seed-oil trend against the scientific evidence, finding the alarm largely unsupported by research.
Why now: Seed oils have become a hot nutrition debate online, driven by wellness influencers making health claims that conflict with the scientific evidence.
