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.
