Seed Oils = Engine Lubricant

When mainstream dietary health guidelines are telling humans it’s ok to eat engine lubricant, you know there’s something wrong.

And no, this isn't a joke… 

Yep… Canola (also known as Rapeseed) really used to be an industrial oil used to lubricate machinery. 

But the ‘Great White North’ realised they could make more money if they could convince us to eat it (Oh, Canada! 🇨🇦) 

A couple of decades later, the oil was rendered “safe” for human consumption...

And Voila! Ultra cheap oil for the masses.

Now it’s one of the most popular oils used in cooking and found in most ultra-processed foods. 

But so what? Surely if it was rendered safe then it’s ok, right?

We won’t turn this into a chemistry lesson, but here’s the deal...

Seed oils like canola, soybean, palm oil etc. are really unstable and high in polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acids (PUFAS) like linoleic acid which cause inflammation within our bodies. 

They can also break down into nasty toxic byproducts when oxidized like 4-Hydroxynonenal…

Seed oils were only introduced into our diets in the last 100 years…

Before that, we used to use animal fats like grass-fed tallow, butter and ghee to cook.

And since this takeover, chronic diseases like CVD, diabetes and heart disease have SKYROCKETED.

Western medicine would have you believe there’s no link here…

But there’s a ton of evidence pointing to the fact that seed oils are linked to mitochondrial dysfunction – a hallmark of just about every chronic illness.

We have a whole bunch of studies on mice showcasing negative health outcomes when fed a diet high in linoleic acid (like this one). 

We also have a GINORMOUS human randomised control trial called the ‘Minnesota Coronary Experiment’ from the 1960s…

The researchers looked at what happens when you replace saturated fat with seed oils rich in linoleic acid… 

Know what they found?  

A 22% higher death rate for each 30 ng / dL reduction in cholesterol from linoleic acid (1).

…basically, that’s NOT GOOD.

Weirdly, they brushed this trial under the rug and have ignored it ever since...

And today, the “experts” still tell us to fear saturated fat from meat, butter and eggs while promoting seed-oil rich fake foods like Beyond Meat burgers.

Since these are the same experts who say Cheerios are healthier than ground beef (no joke, read it here)…

We think it’s safe to say if you want to be healthy… 

Just do the OPPOSITE of what they tell you. 

What does that look like? Easy.

Avoid seed oils as much as possible and you’re good. 

Instead, use nutrient-dense animal fats for cooking like grass-fed butter, ghee or tallow. 

Replace seed oil-infested processed foods with organic whole foods.

It’s not complicated. 

But of course, they don’t want you to know that 🙄

P.S. - We’re pretty democratic when it comes to which whole foods you should eat… 

But if you ask us… 

Well-rased meat and organs should form the bulk of your food shop. This is because they provide you with the most concentrated source of bioavailable vitamins and minerals… 

like B-vitamins, Choline, K2, Iron, Zinc and Copper… 

You know, the stuff that makes you strong and smart so you can say 🤬 to engine oil. 

If you can source grass-fed organs and like the taste, more power to you.
