Today we are answering the following question from a listener:

“Hi Kelsey & Laura! I love your podcast and am so grateful for the wealth of knowledge you both share. I appreciated your breakdown of the myths surrounding sugar and I wondered if you could do a similar episode about vegetable oils. It’s thrown around that they are toxic in the same way sugar is called toxic and I wondered if there can be room for any vegetable oils within a healthy, real food diet, or if you recommend excluding them 100%?  I’m referring to grape seed, canola, sunflower, etc. rather than olive or coconut oil. Here are my two specific questions:

1. Do variations like organic, expeller-pressed or first cold-pressed make vegetables oils like canola, safflower, sunflower, grapeseed healthier, or do those processes not make a difference? I’m not talking about olive or coconut oils here.
2. I recently read Laura’s blog about how it’s possible to overdo it with the anti-inflammatories.
