Did you know that when your skin turns red from sunburn, that’s actually not your flesh changing color permanently? Your skin cells are not being burned to the point of redness. That red color is from increased blood flow. UV damage triggers an inflammatory response, which increases blood flow.
Here's how vegetable oils make us more prone to sunburns, wrinkling, and even cancer.
Seed oils deplete our antioxidants.
UV-induced free radicals in our high PUFA body fat run rampant.
These free radicals trigger skin inflammation.
Without antioxidants to shut down oxidation reactions, inflammation becomes excessive.
Excessive inflammation activates collagen chewing enzymes. That breaks down the collagen supporting your skin.
The new layer of collagen is often not quite as strong as the old layer.
Do this over and over, and you start wrinkling at a younger age.
Meanwhile, all those radicals can damage mitochondria, leading to cancer. That’s how we can get deadly melanoma cancers forming in places where the sun never shines.

What are vegetable seed oils doing to your metabolism? This 2-hour UltimateHealth podcast goes deep into the discussion.

Neurological conditions are now the leading cause of ill health and disability globally, affecting 3.4 billion people worldwide. (The Lancet Neurology, March 2024) This statistic does not even include those affected by mental illness.
The article says the biggest contributors to neurological health loss globally were stroke, neonatal encephalopathy (brain injury), migraine, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, and diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage).
Highlighted conditions improve with avoiding vegetable oils, limiting sugar, and improving nutrition.
My book Deep Nutrition CH 8 (in the image attached) tells you how vegetable oils harm your nervous system, how they make sugar more toxic, and how to heal your brain (and body) using real food.
I've witnessed remarkable recoveries following these principles.
In the past few years, several medical doctors have written books that discuss how diet impacts brain health. They make the same recommendations, with only slight variations.
They've also witnessed remarkable recoveries.
I think we're on to something.
Anyone telling you these oils are not that bad, and that you can eat "everything" in moderation doesn't understand the food supply or how oxidative stress promotes these diseases, and certainly doesn't care about your health.

These are all major factors that reduce quality of life and shorten life span.
Red meat is essential for longevity.
Butter is one of the best foods for gut health.
It contains butyrate which has been shown to be beneficial for gut issues like IBS and other inflammatory bowel diseases.
And there’s more - cultured butter actually contains probiotics that are so beneficial for your gut.
