This video suggests that the key difference between the health of a 1950s truck driver and a modern one is the consumption of seed oils, implying they're the main culprit behind today’s health issues. While it's true that excessive omega-6 intake without balancing omega-3s can be harmful, it's questionable whether this is more damaging than high sugar consumption. A lot has changed since the 1950s, especially the dramatic rise in sugar intake. Framing seed oils as the primary issue feels like a deliberate attempt to divert attention from the real problem, the overwhelming amount of sugar in modern diets.

Some things in the documentary are right, others aren't.

Olive oil has been consumed for thousands of years, it was consumed massively in the roman empire, and has been consumed in the mediterranean for the entire history of agriculture. Mediterranean people have one of the highest life expectancy in the world.

But it is true that some other oils like palm oil are very bad, and even toxic.

So the point is not about criminalizing all seed oils, but only eat the good ones, like olive oil cool extracted (virgin olive oil). Unfortunately the good ones are always the most expensive, and those are never used by the big corporations, so that is the problem, not that all seed oils are bad.
