In this video, we’re going to talk about the absolute worst food for your heart! Here are some of the side effects:
•Primary driver of heart disease
•Creates inflammation inside the arteries
•Consumption directly correlates with heart disease
•Creates oxidative LDL inside your arteries
•Increases the risk of developing metabolic syndrome
•Causes lipid peroxidation
•Increases the risk of clotting
•Creates oxidative stress

This food is an industrial product that is heated five times, contains added chemicals, and is devoid of anything living at all. The food we’re talking about is seed oil!

Vegetable oil is one of the most commonly used seed oils and isn’t really made of vegetables at all. Seed oils are generally composed of corn, cottonseed, canola, or soy oil.

Vegetable oil is an unsaturated fatty acid, so it’s very unstable and susceptible to oxidation. Light, air, oxygen, and temperature can all cause seed oils to oxidize.

Seed oils are in so many of our foods. They’re used in cooking but also used in salad dressings, condiments, and in almost all ultra-processed foods.

Most of the information available to the public tells us that polyunsaturated fatty acids (seed oils/PUFAs) are not bad for us.

Two popular studies on PUFAs are The Finnish Mental Hospital Study and The Los Angeles Veterans Administration Study. Both of these studies have several flaws. They weren’t randomized, and there were many other variables, like participants on medications and those who smoked.

Check labels to avoid seed oil consumption. Condiments and salad dressings often contain seed oils, so opt for versions without, or you can even make your own. Use butter, olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, and lard for cooking instead of seed oils.

Seed oils are too high in omega-6 fatty acids. Typically, you want a 1:1 ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. When omega-6 fatty acids are too high, it can cause inflammation and other issues.

    I avoid sugar like the plague, but I’ve considered seed oils to be far worse than sugar.

  • @C.N.1 says:

    I’M OFFICIALLY AFRAID OF VEGAN JUNK-FOOD! 💯 Thanks a bunch, Dr. Berg!

  • @kt6332 says:

    Thank you Dr. Berg! Your videos always reinforce my choice to shop the perimeter of the food market and to stay away from processed foods!

  • @sandradugan7513 says:

    I go to the doctor I have high cholesterol I only eat olive oil coconut oil and avocado oil and sesame oil sometimes. I almost never go out to eat because I know I can’t trust the food because I know they are using bad oil. thank you Dr Berg for being here You are the best I love ya!!!

    • @sergiolandz6056 says:

      the doctor will always say your cholesterol is high because they follow generic charts, but you know what patients that are on meds for cholesterol have in common ? Alzheimer’s.

    • @sergiolandz6056 says:

      use psyllium husk and up your fiber intake with oats that will lower your cholesterol naturally.

    • @deirdremccanny45 says:

      Your body naturally produces cholesterol to help heal a part of the body that is damaged or inflamed. It acts like a bandage to a part of the body that is suffering. Perhaps consider that there is inflammation somewhere that the cholesterol is trying to help with bDr Berg’s advice is amazing at helping to address inflammation and intermittent fasting is a key step. I speak from experience. Take care 🤗

    • @OttawaRealEstateAgent says:

      ​@@sergiolandz6056 oatmeal is toxic, it spikes your insuline levels like crazy. It contributes to getting fat and ultimately causes heart attack. All sugar carbs contribute to this.

  • @shellshelly5552 says:

    I only use 100 % extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil in GLASS bottles only. And moderately. Thank you Dr. Berg for all your valuable information. Whenever I question anything, your site is where I come to.

  • @leonidas3261 says:

    More people need to hear the dangers of high seed oil consumtion. Specially since all the ”experts” say that seed oils are healthy.

  • @a.williams45 says:

    Thank you for this relevant information. I knew it was seed oils. Switching to extra virgin olive oil was the best move, home made salad dressings and vinaigrettes are far tastier, healthier and nutritious by using fresh organic and natural high quality ingredients. Your educational content and research are always highly appreciated, Dr Berg 🙏🏻🧄🥑🍋🫒

    • @EmilyJohnson558 says:

      😮 Lots of olive oil brands secretly ad soy oil as a filler 😠

    • @a.williams45 says:

      @@EmilyJohnson558 there are lots of poor quality ones indeed, made with leftovers rancid olives and blended with other oils but there are many good ones. Dr Berg has a video about extra virgin olive oils and how to identify it. It is said that the best ones are from Spain and Italy. We have to do our own research depending on where we are. Take care 🫒

    • @cybersal7 says:

      There is more profit made in fake adulterated olive oil than selling cocaine.
      I haven’t had any 100% first co-press organic olive oil in years. I just can’t afford it. Grass fed butter or bacon or animal fat.
      Of course this means you can’t trust eating out.

  • @bettymaverick1098 says:

    The problem with olive oil from Europe is organized crime. They control much of the exported European olive oil. They have been caught repeatedly flavoring soy bean oil and selling it as Olive Oil. It is very difficult to tell which is real or not.

  • @wendymclauren3603 says:

    Thank you Dr. Berg for the very valuable information. It is so important to know this information to stay more health. I am so grateful for your content.🙏🏼Keep on supporting/ sharing with us your knowledge.

  • @FatherFH says:

    The 2 ingredients in almost every processed foods are sugar and seed oils. The food industry is friends with the Pharmaceutical industry so they help each other out. So nice to see great team work and demonstration of love. 😂

  • @dp7308 says:

    Used to have high cholesterol levels. Over 250 mg/dl. Now my cholesterol level is 184 mg/dl. I switched to olive oil and drastically reduced sugars and processed foods. Added walking for 45 minutes a day.

  • @freddynayeb6919 says:

    Since I started watching your videos about 7months ago I’ve lost so much weight &Got healthier
    Thanks doc!

  • @fw3506 says:

    We only cook with olive or avocado oil, but seed oils appear in practically every product on grocery shelves. Avoiding them is a major challenge.

  • @diane2413 says:

    Totally agree with seed oils. And if you really want potato chips you can get them made with coconut oil, avocado oil or olive oil. However, you still need to be really careful because trans fats are still out there. I try not to eat out but sometimes I can’t avoid it. I had to go to a meeting for work at Olive Garden and 95% of their items still have trans fats. I was shocked ( I did research ahead of time trying to figure out what I could eat which was basically either steak and broccoli or salmon and broccoli and soup).
    Also, you can buy mayo without seed oils. I look for avocado mayo. Another easy way is to make it yourself.

  • @MBucky says:

    Love all your research and products, Dr. Berg! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us.

  • @TheSmilodon85 says:

    Appreciate you Doc. It doesn’t shock me anymore on how messed up the Food industry truly is. Keep doing what you do. 🙏🏻

  • @SpatanX969 says:

    Thank you for sharing such in-depth information Dr. Berg. You truly save and improve so many lives that we can’t thank you enough. I just wanted to ask if all the seed, nut and grain oils are bad too, especially the ones not mentioned like mustard, sesame, groundnut, almond, rice bran oils etc.

  • @azchymoulvi says:

    Dear Dr. Berg, I feel blessed Whenever I hear your logical, data-driven info with clear guidelines!

    Deepest respect for your countless efforts to open our eyes and logical process to regain our most valuable asset, health.

    May you shine more with more success and happiness with a meaningful life!

  • @dsanders74 says:

    Thank you, Dr. Berg. Your information actually made it to the conversation at my family dinner table, with friends, and the grocery store trips. My comments to my wife and children are usually, “What did Dr. Berg say?” We stopped buying cheap oils and now use healthy oils. I will never be the same because of you. I feel great and my blood work is evidence. Blessings to you and your family.
