Perhaps one of the broadest areas of consensus in regenerative circles is the philosophy of viewing “food as medicine.” One particular trend under scrutiny with this paradigm is the meteoric rise of vegetable oil consumption over the past sixty years (in this context, we are defining these as oils extracted from seeds, grains, and legumes like soybean oil, canola/rapeseed oil, corn oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, and others.) Vegetable oils are both environmentally destructive and potentially quite sickening to our health when consumed in vast quantities (we are.) Though the broad discourse surrounding which oils and fats are healthy to consume is quite hard to digest, often obfuscated by outdated and lobbied official guidance, it is becoming harder to ignore causal studies between vegetable oils and various health implications.
