SEED OILS MADE IN A FACTORY
Seed oils entered our kitchens quietly, without ever really introducing themselves.
In this short video, I share why this conversation isn’t about fear, blame, or telling anyone what to eat—but about understanding how our food is made, so we can make informed choices.
For thousands of years, oils were extracted in simple, visible ways. Today, most industrial seed oils are produced through high-heat processing, solvents, bleaching, and deodorizing—methods far removed from traditional kitchens. That doesn’t automatically make them “bad,” but it does mean we should ask better questions.
How is this oil made?
How stable is it under heat?
How old is it before it reaches our plate?
My message is simple: know your source, ask questions, and support food systems built on science and transparency.
This is the first in a series. In the next video, we’ll look at what food labels tell us—and what they don’t.
