So How Bad Are Seed Oils? God Made Seeds, but Did He Intend for Us to Use Seed Oils?

Cutting out seed oils is all the rage these days, but is it really justified? Some health experts claim that the inflammatory impact of seed oils is to blame for many of the health issues in the U.S., as seed oil consumption has increased exponentially over the last century.

Originally used to lubricate machinery and make candles, seed oils crept into our diets starting in the early 1900s and they are now found in nearly all packaged foods. As women of the Word, let's take this conundrum to God and seek discernment.

In this episode, I talk about everything from what seed oils are, to whether I think God intended for us to use them (because He made seeds after all), and how to make some simple swaps in your life to decrease your consumption of seed oils.

Correction: I reference the consumption of animal fats in the Garden of Eden, mid-episode, and should have more correctly referenced the early times of Noah, given that God did not scripturally give the command for man to eat meat until Genesis 9:3.

Scripture referenced in this episode:
John 6:35
