Previous Video on The #1 Worst Food for Your Heart (HINT: It's Not Sugar): ▶️ https://youtu.be/BfRQVPdUflY DATA: https://www.zeroacre.com/white-papers/seed-oils-as-a-driver-of-heart-disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24144052/ 0:00 Introduction: What is the worst food for your heart? 1:00 LDL cholesterol explained 1:53 What is metabolic syndrome? 4:30 Seed oils explained 6:10 Studies on seed oils 8:00 Alternatives and what to avoid 9:00 Omega-6 fatty acids vs. omega-3 fatty acids 10:58 Learn more about trans fats! 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.

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. 😂

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

I’m a certified operating room nurse and certified holistic nurse. I am certified in both because I believe everyone should be able to take care of their health naturally first and use modern technology to assist in your health when absolutely needed. Unfortunately, everything is treated with a medication or procedure first in healthcare. Every complaint presented by the patient at the doctor’s office is followed by a prescription. Top 4 to do for healthy lifestyle: Get rid of sugar, processed carbs, seed oils, and make sure you exercise! Your information is always the best! Thank you!

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

You're the best, Dr. Berg. Longtime subscriber here. I cut out 95% of carbs (only croutons on my salads) and 85% of sugar (I was a sugar addict my whole life). Plantar neuritis is gone. Weight loss achieved with IF and walking 4-5 days a week. I make organic vegetable soup (comfort food and very filling), eat huge salads like you, etc. The quality of my health has gone up so much from listening to you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are a fine man...much respect.

As a long time dog owner, I believe the reason heart disease in dogs has sky-rocketed is because they started coating kibble with seed oils "to preserve nutrients".😢

Dr. Berg I can’t thank you enough for your videos. I’m a 50 year old man with a eight-year-old and a seven-year-old and I am working really hard to stay in as good of shape as I can. I can’t imagine them losing their father and having to grow up with relatives, etc., what you’re doing helping the public is amazing. Thank you.
