E68: Obesity Medicine: Lifestyle Medicine: Fats: Saturated Fats and Seed Oils
Update: 2025-12-03
Description
Today I will be talking about another macronutrient, fats or fatty acids. I did an overview of fats in our omega-3 fatty acid episode, but I didn't really go into detail about the other fats, and there is a lot of controversy surrounding the fats, most particularly saturated fats and seed oils which contain the dreaded omega-6 fatty acids. A lot of people hate saturated fats but are ok with omega-6 and vice versa, so what's the real story? I'm not sure if we fully understand the full truth and I think tensions are too high on either side of this debate. I will do my best to explain what these are and present my evidence for why I don't particularly have a problem with either one of them.
