How Seed Oils Make You Fat, with Tucker Goodrich and Jeff Nobbs—Fundamental Health with Dr. Paul Saladino

Another terrific discussion with Paul Saladino. 

"Today, Paul interviews Tucker Goodrich, Wall Street technology [exec] extraordinaire and independent researcher, and Jeff Nobbs, co-founder and CEO of Zero Acre Farms. They take a deep dive into the epidemic of seed oil consumption. They examine conflicting arguments, and then explain why seed oils are likely making humans fat, diabetic, and causing atherosclerosis."

We discuss these two posts on Zero Acre's website:

"How Vegetable Oils Make Us Fat"

"Seed Oils as a Driver of Heart Disease"

Jeff has retained me as a paid consultant to Zero Acre to help him and his team develop content like this to spread the news about the health issues with industrial seed oils. As such, I thought it was important, when Paul reached out to me initially, to include Jeff. 

He's the real deal, he's doing this because he understands it and believes in it, and he and the Zero Acre team want to make sure we get the science right.

It's an excellent discussion, I think. Enjoy!

Cultured Oil, Zero Acres’ Answer to Seed Oils; Interview of Jeff Nobbs on A Neighbor's Choice with David Gornoski

Zero Acre launched their product today. See their website and their blog for lots of information. 

I think these two graphics, from their article "Cultured Oil Health Report" really get to why this is going to be a game-changer.

"How cooking oils turn toxic" shows how superior a low-linoleic acid oil like Cultured Oil is to the alternatives we've been told to use.

It's a game changer, especially for stir frying or sauteing which is a major cause of lung cancer.

And "Susceptibility to oxidation" shows how Cultured Oil is superior to all but the most traditional animal fats. (It's better than lard or duck fat since both those animals are fed high-grain & seed oils diets currently. Fix the feed, and they become a better option.)

What's the reason for this superior performance? It's obvious. "Linoleic acid content of liquid oils" shows Cultured Oil has the lowest linoleic acid content of any available liquid oil, comparable to only coconut oil, which has it's own oxidation issues due to the short-chain fats that comprise that oil.

David Gornoski and I interviewed Jeff Nobbs, the founder of Zero Acre a little while back, and had a great talk about the new product.

"In this special nutrition science podcast, David Gornoski and Tucker Goodrich are joined by Jeff Nobbs, co-founder of Zero Acre Farms. The discussion starts off with the realization that seed oils are harmful to our health. Jeff Nobbs and Tucker Goodrich also explain the mission of Zero Acre Farms, the development of cultured/fermented oil, whether cultured oil will be safe for consumption, whether we can feed the world with existing fats, and more."
