248: Seed Oils: Controversy, Claims & Culinary Uses – Dr. Wendy Bazilian

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Seed oils are often attributed to negative health effects due to their prominence in ultraprocessed foods and misunderstood science. Seed oils are a primary source of essential polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs: omega-6s and omega-3s) and are encouraged in most dietary patterns. However, the typical American diet is higher in omega-6s than is recommended, and while adults are generally meeting the recommendation for omega-3 intake, new evidence indicates we may benefit from a higher amount. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "mso-bookmark: _Hlk144968879;"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Different cooking oils have different nutrient profiles and culinary capabilities. While cooking oils have beneficial unsaturated fats, many are lacking in essential omega-3. Some oils are suited for a variety of cooking techniques - heat and no heat - whereas others are better for low heat or no heat techniques.<br style= "mso-special-character: line-break;" /> <!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br style= "mso-special-character: line-break;" /> <!--[endif]--></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 10.5pt; background: white;"><span style= "mso-bookmark: _Hlk144968879;"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0f1111;">Tune into this episode with guest Dr. Wendy Bazilian to learn about:</span></span></p> <p><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk144968879;"> <!-- [if !supportLists]--><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';">      </span></span></span> <!--[endif]--><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">What are seed oils and what claims have been made about them</span></span></p> <p><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk144968879;"> <!-- [if !supportLists]--><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Sy
