Dr. Cate Shanahan has been extremely vocal, especially since the pandemic hit about the havoc seed oils are wreaking on the human body.
She’s one of the topic metabolic experts in the world, and she knows a thing or two about how the human body functions.
Before processed food was a thing less than 100 years ago, fat made up a huge portion of the human diet.
But it was natural fats that do our bodies good – from animals and plants.
Since the low-fat crazes in the 1980s, we’ve been gradually eliminating naturally occurring fats from foods and replacing them with unnatural, toxic, chemical-laden oils and sugars.
Dr. Shanahan calls these oils specifically “The Hateful Eight,” and she recommends avoiding them at all costs to reduce toxicity and inflammation in the body, and thereby, reduce your risk of metabolic diseases like diabetes.
And she even believes cutting these oils will enable to you to combat the coronavirus with much more ease.
The problem is that these oils are in TONS of prepackaged foods from salad dressing to bread to processed foods to foods prepared in restaurants.
