Reclaiming Your Health: Ditching Seed Oils for Natural Fats

A significant concern in modern diets: the widespread use of seed oils. These highly processed oils, such as canola, soybean, and corn oil, are far from natural and can have detrimental effects on our health.

Why Seed Oils Are a Problem

  • Cellular Disruption: Every cell in our body is surrounded by a lipid (fat) layer. When we consume seed oils, these synthetic fats disrupt this crucial cellular barrier.

    • Nutrients leak out where they shouldn't.

    • Harmful substances enter cells that should remain protected.

    • Cellular function is compromised.

  • Immune System Overload: Seed oils can act as a "Trojan horse," carrying harmful substances like gluten directly into the bloodstream. This triggers an immune response, potentially leading to the development of autoimmune diseases.

The Importance of Natural Fats

We cannot overemphasize the importance of returning to naturally occurring fats in our diets. We specifically recommends:

  • Tallow: Rendered fat from beef or sheep.

  • Lard: Rendered fat from pork.

Why Choose Natural Fats?

  • Biocompatibility: These fats are naturally compatible with our bodies. They support cellular function and do not disrupt the delicate balance within our systems.

  • Nutrient-Rich: Animal fats contain essential nutrients like vitamins A, D, and K2, which are crucial for overall health.

  • Reduced Inflammation: Unlike seed oils, natural fats are less likely to trigger inflammatory responses in the body.

Making the Switch

  • Read Labels Carefully: Avoid products containing seed oils.

  • Cook with Natural Fats: Use tallow, lard, or other healthy fats like butter and ghee for cooking and baking.

  • Incorporate Animal Products: Include healthy animal products like grass-fed beef and pastured poultry in your diet.
