The recent surge in concern over seed oils has sparked heated debates in nutrition circles and on social media platforms. However, a closer examination of the scientific evidence reveals that much of this alarm may be overblown. Let’s delve into the key points that suggest the seed oil scare is largely exaggerated.

This stance from respected experts in the field casts doubt on the validity of widespread fears surrounding seed oils.
