Seed Oils: Hype or Health Hazard? Get the Real Facts

Are Seed Oils Really That Bad? The Truth About Seed Oils, Health, and Simple Swaps

Seed oils have been flooding headlines, social feeds, and grocery store shelves—but what’s the real story behind these highly processed oils? Are they truly toxic or just another nutrition trend you can ignore? In this solo episode of The Natalie Tysdal Podcast, I’m breaking down the science, debunking the myths, and giving you practical tips to take control of your health, without fear or overwhelm.

In this episode, I cover:

What seed oils are (think canola, soybean, sunflower, corn, and more) and how they’re processed


Why seed oils have become so controversial in the world of nutrition and wellness


The three main reasons experts are concerned about seed oils: high omega-6 content, oxidation, and their overwhelming presence in our food supply


Where seed oils are hiding in your everyday foods (yes, even “healthy” options like salad dressing, protein bars, and oat milk!)


Easy, realistic swaps to reduce seed oils at home—plus what to look out for when you’re eating out


How to read labels and find seed oil-free brands without going crazy


Why inflammation is the real issue at the heart of this seed oil debate


How to start making simple changes today (without aiming for perfection)


My personal approach as a health journalist, and why it’s so important to take responsibility for your own health and ask better questions

If you’ve ever felt confused or overwhelmed by the seed oil conversation, this episode will give you clarity, help you shop smarter, and empower you to make healthy choices for you and your family.
