I am fairly certain the seed oils talking bit can be traced back to a quack doc interviewed on Rogan’s podcast, which people then ran with. It’s the soy meme version 2.0, just grounded in even less reality.


It's hilarious because "seed oils" is a totally arbitrary, incoherent category that they just made up. Pure quackery.
