    Seed Oils: Should You Switch to Butter?
    Nov 6 2025
    We’ve been told that foods like butter and bacon are bad for us — because they're packed with saturated fats. And top dogs in nutrition say that a better option is vegetable oil, like canola oil. But lots of people, including HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are saying hold on. They're arguing that saturated fats are actually the way to go. And they're claiming that those vegetable oils, aka “seed oils,” are incredibly dangerous. So — who’s right?? To find out, we speak to author and physician Dr Cate Shanahan, professor of nutrition science Jason Wu, professor of endocrinology David Schade, and Dr David Iggman. [REBROADCAST] Find our transcript here: https://bit.ly/SVSeedOils In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Seed oils are the devil (05:35) Is saturated fat killing you?

it's really good to know that science still matters. I like the scientific way each topic is broken down, the use of subject matter experts, and the availability of sources. Even subjects I thought i had no interest in fully captured my attention. Outstanding podcast!!! Thank you!

best podcast ever!!!

Hot topics addressed and answered with science, not opinions, which is so essential in a world of misinformation. The creators even list their sources and tell you how many citations it took to create each episode, showing that they did not cherry-pick data to suit their purpose, but really did their research. Bringing on multiple experts each time rounds out the podcast as educational, interesting, and entertaining!

Hot topics, truthful, scientific discussions.
