The arguments in this short podcast sounded pretty convincing to me. That said, I don't have the proper background in chemistry to back what is said, so I thought of sharing it, hoping to get some input. So please, let me know what you think about it!

I was deep in the anti veg oil crowd for a little while. They believe that the veg oil is higher in omega 6 which is necessary but can be harmful if you have too much.

I think it's just another scapegoat. People aren't getting since because they have seed oils in their diet, it's because they eat too much highly palatable, calorie dense non nutritive foods.

If getting healthy is the goal you're better off just focusing on eating mostly whole foods and minimizing your intake of those highly palatable, calorically dense foods.
