Dr. Jay delves into the history of canola oil, its controversial rise to popularity, and its detrimental effects due to high omega-6 fatty acid content and processing methods.

This episode provides practical strategies for mitigating the risks associated with seed oils and microplastics, emphasizing the importance of informed food choices, mindful consumption, and advocating for change.

Episode Takeaways:

Seed oils, often labeled as "vegetable oils," are highly processed and contribute to an imbalance in omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, leading to inflammation and various health problems.

Microplastics are increasingly found in food, water, and even the air, raising concerns about their impact on cognitive function and overall health.

Reducing consumption of processed foods, choosing healthier cooking oils, and minimizing plastic use are crucial steps in mitigating these risks.

Individual action and advocacy are essential in driving change and promoting a healthier future.
