The Seed Oil Scare Is Missing the Point

Ever get whiplash trying to follow wellness trends? One minute it’s “olive oil only,” the next it’s “bring back beef tallow.” Somewhere in there, seed oils got villainized—again. I’ll admit it—I’ve raised eyebrows at them too.

But here’s what I’ve come to believe:

The real issue isn’t seed oils—it’s the industrial food system and overconsumption of ultra-processed foods.

Most of the fear-mongering around seed oils—omega-6s, aldehydes, hexane—has been cherry-picked, overblown, or misinterpreted. The evidence just isn’t as dramatic as the headlines suggest.

This should be good news: Eating real food wins again!

💡 Try This
Want to support your health without spiraling into pseudoscience?

Prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods: think colorful produce, pastured proteins, wild-caught seafood, nuts, seeds, and legumes.
Cook more at home. I stick to butter and good extra-virgin olive oil—not because seed oils are evil, but because butter and olive oil taste amazing and support the way I want to eat.
Focus on the big picture: it’s your overall pattern of eating that matters—not one ingredient.

Inside The Wonderfulness Community, we skip the food fear and stick to evidence-based strategies that help you age stronger, not just trendier.

Because wellness should feel empowering—not performative.
