The full story
In the last hundred years, the soybean oil in our food went up more than a thousand times over. The linoleic acid from these oils, the part that builds up in your body, has more than doubled in our diet and now makes up over twice as much of our body fat as it did in 1960. Nobody voted for that. It happened quietly, because the oil was cheap.
And look what rode alongside it: obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disease, straight up.
The government says relax, seed oils are heart healthy. But look closer. Heat them in a fryer and they throw off toxic compounds that butter and tallow do not. In animal studies, soybean oil caused more obesity and worse liver damage than coconut oil, and worse than sugar. The only randomized human trials that actually tested it found more deaths, not fewer. And the advice to keep eating them comes from a committee where 95 percent of the members were tied to food or drug companies, leaning on cholesterol as a stand-in for a benefit their own best evidence says was never there.
We are not saying the case is closed. We are saying it was never honestly opened. This is a demand for the one thing that never happened: a real, independent, conflict-free investigation into what a century of seed oils has done to us, before we get told to eat even more.
