Informed Life Radio: Seed oils, real fats, and the heart-health myth
(June 5, 2026)
Ep. 369:
The Juice Lady Cherie Calbom, MS, joins us to discuss The Truth About Seed Oils, coauthored with Liana Werner-Gray. She describes the influences behind the widespread adoption of the “heart-healthy” seed oil message and how it reshaped American eating habits, causing “vegetable oils” to became a staple in our kitchens, institutions, and food industry. We also talk about the low-fat era, oxidative stress, marketing, label reading—and simple first steps families can take to begin replacing these commodities with real-food fats.
