Paul Saladino, MD: Why 'Heart-Healthy' Seed Oils Are Actually Poison | TUH #129
About this video
Brecka interviews Dr Paul Saladino, who argues seed oils are a metabolic toxin whose linoleic acid embeds in cell membranes and LDL and promotes inflammation and oxidation. Saladino contends trials he views as showing harm have been suppressed, criticises fast food as active poisoning in his words, and advocates simple unprocessed animal and plant whole foods.
Key takeaways
- Saladino claims stopping seed oils still leaves years for the body to recycle affected cell membranes
- He argues linoleic acid is the most abundant fatty acid in LDL and makes it more oxidation-prone
- Saladino states mainstream institutions still defend seed oils despite trials he believes show harm
- Both speakers advocate unprocessed whole foods as the ancestral baseline that cannot go far wrong
