seed oils

Tap into the science on seed oil nutrition and health

Clinical and observational studies show linoleic acid intake does not increase inflammation or oxidative stress. In fact, linoleic acid-rich diets are associated with health benefits.

Authoritative health organizations like the American Heart Association and World Health Organization, along with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, recommend intake of vegetable oils, including seed or omega-6 PUFA-containing oils, as part of healthy dietary patterns. These entities emphasize that vegetable oils rich in unsaturated fatty acids should replace rich sources of saturated fatty acids, including butter, tallow, lard, palm and coconut oils, duck fat and ghee.
