As the title says, how does the internet promote seed oils like soybean and canola as healthier than literal milk solids
I feel like this goes way, way deeper.
Any smart people with sources etc?
edit: https://youtu.be/M5JFZ436EsA?si=MXzTzWav5B7bJdrj this is what I count as my "research" why? because it's unintentionally on the internet, like, whoever is trying to make butter sound bad due to cholesterol or weight gain yadayadayada clearly didn't see this existed. not too reliable but reliable enough.
also wait. butter and other animal fats have been used for as far as history itself.. why is it suddenly bad??
man I seriously want to get to the bottom of the rabbithole

“I can’t believe it’s not butter”
You know why. Who will finance big pharma if people start eating actual food instead of industrial crap? This isn’t food anymore, it’s food like products.
My brother just said that tonight! He thinks it causes high cholesterol. He even makes sure his dog doesn’t get too much, by patting fried chicken that was cooked in butter, with paper towels. He must watch too much tv.
Animal fats have double bonds on their chemical structure which binds to your body in a slow burning type of way. Those types of bonds stick to you and cause weight gain, and the increase of bad cholesterol and the decrease of good cholesterol.
Seed oils are a single bond chemically, so they don’t bind to your body in the same way. Due to them being single bonded and not attaching to you the same way, they also reduce the bad cholesterol and increase the good cholesterol, these are saturated fats. However, when companies needed to ration butter for WW2 they added hydrogen atoms to plant based oils, more and more hydrogen atoms added (called hydrogenation, or, hydrogenated oils) to it to make a solid block of butter substitute….and created margarine. Now, if you hydrogenate too much…you create trans fats….which will legit kill you.
Fun fact: McDonald’s used beef tallow (cow fat) for the longest time in their fries and hash brown patties. A long anti fat campaign caused them to switch to trans fats on complete accident which was significantly worse, and eventually landed on a blend of plant oils like Canola.
How is seed oil any less unnatural than animal oil? They both come from the planet, seeds have been around a lot longer than most mammals?
This is huge and completely ignored by most people. I live at the bottom of my bmi (struggle to keep weight on) and I eat about 2 sticks of organic butter a week. It’s wonderful for skin, hair, nails, etc and contrary to the 80s low fat (high sugar) diet propaganda by food corporations, it helps lube our intestines and arteries. Not a doctor. Not medical advice. It’s common sense to me, but like most things we traded basic, natural foods for garbage that resembles food that makes stock prices rise.
It’s just propaganda. In my 20s I’ve experimented with keto, primal, and all those crazy diets. It’s expensive lifestyle but steak and butter never failed me before. You just gotta exclude carbs/sugar if you’re going protein/fat. But butter is good for you, and I mean actual butter without fat reduction or fillers.
Everything i’ve read says real butter is healthy. But i’m also posting on here and not reading WebMD or some BS like that
people who really study nutrition know. sally fallon and “Nourishing traditions” has been trying to get people on butter for a long time. And liver. Also the western Price foundation. Also any doctors or practitioners who work in functional medicine
Fascinating point!
Its crazy, I practically grew up on butter-alternatives because my parents bought into that bs. The moment I switched over to real butter my brainfog was gone, no more acne, more energy, and the food actually tasted better lol. It’s sad how our “knowledge” of some foods are completely duped.
its not, this is just BS propaganda. this goes back to the fake butter, mayonnaise, and vegetable oil which are some of the most toxic garbage you can put in your body.
i thought fake butter was an 80s thing, i remember the commercials from when i was a kid, but its been around since like the 1920s.
If bugs don’t eat it, I don’t eat it. I haven’t bought butter alternatives in probably 10 years. Perfectly healthy
Soylent Green is people!
