Glad it works for you, great. But anecdotal evidence is what the snake oil salesmen thrive upon. Please reference a multi-centered, double blinded, placebo-controlled study of at least 5,000 individuals published in a reputable medical journal (again. not the Southern Mongolian Journal of Pseudoscientific and Holistic Crap) that supports the concept of seed oils as being "poison". (I've never heard of a murder trial where the weapon was sunflower seed oil
)
From the Cleveland Clinic:
Have you heard the claim that seed oils are “toxic”? Some social media users blame them for everything, from acne and weight gain to cancer and infertility. But as is so often the case, the truth is a lot more nuanced than TikTok typically reveals.
From the American Heart Association:
"There's no reason to avoid seed oils and plenty of reasons to eat them
The "Hateful Eight" may sound like an old-time Western movie, but this showdown doesn't involve cowboys or horses or even guns. It's a battle over the supposed dangers posed by eight seed oils – canola, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, soy, rice bran, sunflower and safflower – and it's being fought on social media.
To listen to some people on TikTok, YouTube or any of a number of podcasts, the oil extracted from these plants is poisoning us. But is it, really?
"It's so odd that the internet has gone wild demonizing these things," said Dr. Christopher Gardner, a professor of medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine in California and a nutrition scientist at the Stanford Prevention Research Center. "They are not to be feared."
