Are seed oils good or bad for health? Here's what we know
NPRSunday, June 29, 2025 at 7:22:28 PM
The health debate over seed oils—like canola, soybean, and sunflower oil—is heating up after Health Secretary RFK Jr. called them "poisoning Americans." But scientists and nutrition experts are pushing back, saying there’s no solid evidence to support such extreme claims. It’s another chapter in the confusing back-and-forth over what’s actually good or bad for our diets.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about cooking oils—it’s about who we trust when it comes to health advice. With conflicting opinions from public figures and researchers, it leaves everyday people stuck in the middle, trying to figure out what’s hype and what’s science. The story matters because it reflects bigger questions about how health warnings get amplified (or debunked) in today’s noisy information landscape.
