What is the problem with seed oils?!

Hey nostr, not your usual post coming from me, but a genuine question since i see so much talk about avoiding seed oil, and E chemicals (or whatever they’re called). Now my diet is mostly based around red meat and i cook almost exclusively with olive oil (aside from butter sometimes) also try to eat a nice variety of fruits and vegetables, etc. This isn’t an attack just a genuine question, if you answer is gonna be “because seed oils are bad!😡” don’t bother replying i would like to generate some discussion😃

Some seeds contain anti nutrients because the plant does not want us eating their babies. Also many of the seed oils are chemically extracted. I would say if you can't squeeze out oil from it, don't eat it

thanks you for your reply! never heard of anti nutrients, i’ll take a look into that. What is the problem with chemically extracting oils?

I’ll continue the question, honestly asking. ‘Seeds contain anti nutrients because the plant doesn’t want us to eat their babies’ The answer has to be more than just that though, because plants don’t want birds eating their babies either. But we wouldn’t say that birds that eat seeds are poisoned by them would we? It has to mostly be that since we aren’t evolved to eat them we cannot process them or similar. Right?

I think it comes down to the seed distribution strategies of the plant.

Birds can eat a bunch of seeds, some pass through intact. Passing through may help the seed germinate in some ways. The plant feeds the bird in exchange for taking some seeds far away with a fertilizer package.

Squirrels do not dig up all the acorns they bury for winter

I guess plants do not want us to eat the seeds if we do not help them spread. We can 'plant' tomato seeds in our poop

So I think some animals evolved with plants in a way they both benifit

Certainly true. But to push it abit, if acorns are good to eat for the squirrel because they plant 20% for new seedlings and seeds are good for birds because some of the seeds consumed are distributed as they pass through their system, so there was co-evolution, aren’t these seeds that humans are propagating in seed oils successful from an evolutionary perspective, aren’t humans distributing the seeds through agriculture. The deer doesn’t want to be eaten either by the wolf or the human. I’m just saying the food that is good for a species is more dependent on the species evolving to consume it rather than the consumed species getting a benefit from it such that they allow itself to be consumed for the benefit.

They are heavily heavily processed.

Gui 1y ago

thank you for you reply! in what sense are they heavily processed, what processes, and what are the problems that arise during does processes?

Yea, I don’t really believe in the latest bandwagon either

Since you’re curious about the problem with seed oils, what’s your impression after watching this documentary by nostr:npub1lelkh3hhxw9hdwlcpk6q9t0xt9f7yze0y0nxazvzqjmre3p98x3sthkvyz?
