Everyone's talking about seed oils being bad for you, but what do they actually do to cause you harm? Mainstream doctors are talking about seed oils are great because they help you reduce cholesterol. The wellness industry will tell you we don't want to reduce our cholesterol because it's a very beneficial hormone. This debate is a distraction. Here's what's really going on. There's a structural component of your gut lining called a tight junction. There's these components that press up against each other and they can select what is allowed to pass, meaning selective permeability. These components get disrupted by seed and vegetable oils. Why does this matter? If you disrupt gut wall permeability, you end up with leaky gut. What does leaky gut lead to? Leaky brain. Toxic substrates directly passing through your gut wall, passing the blood-brain barrier, causing neural inflammation, anxiety, and depression. But it doesn't end there. 80 to 90% of your immune system is housed in your gut. The immune system that you rely on to fight cancer cells every single day, which you suppress by damaging it with seed oils. Any functional medicine practitioner that truly heals chronic disease will tell you they can't do so without first fixing the gut. This debate over cholesterol is a distraction preventing us from getting to the truth. Get off seed oils before they break your gut and eventually break you.
