## Resource

For decades, Americans were told to replace butter with seed oils. Then the internet swung the other direction and declared seed oils a “mitochondrial toxin.” But what if both sides are missing the real problem? In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe breaks down the seed oil debate using the studies on both sides — including data showing higher linoleic acid intake was associated with 15% lower cardiovascular deaths and 21% lower heart disease, while other trials suggest replacing saturated fat with omega-6-rich oils may increase cardiovascular risk.
