From further reading these posts, and relating to my own experience, is that most (not all) doctors have very little training and knowledge in the area of nutrition. The educational requirement for training in Nutrition for doctors is minimal. This is what leads many who are interested in exploring whether lifestyle changes can correct chronic issues vs taking prescription meds as a viable option to seek education and information outside of their doctor. This is sad, and should not be the case. The doctor should also be the knowledgeable source in areas of nutrition. If someone has a doctor who is, then you are extremely fortunate, as that is a rarity nowadays. I have found that I have had to educate my doctors at times about nutritional information. At the end of the day, I listen to my own body, and check my results and progress against frequent blood work. I know what foods lead to inflammation, lethargy, weight gain, sleeplessness, and gut issues, and which do not. And yes, seed oils are toxic! Even in moderation, they are poison. Same as saying occasionally smoking is ok in moderation.
