#23: Is Canola Oil Making Us Fat and Unh...

Arnold's Pump Club
About this episode

Word has it if you mention "seed oils" on social media, you'll get a strong response about how they are the real cause of the obesity epidemic. But what does the science say? On this episode, Arnold works with his editor in chief, Adam Bornstein, to take a deeper look at canola oil, which is frequently cited as a primary driver of weight gain, inflammation, and heart disease. While ultra-processed foods are a problem, the issue with canola oil is not as clear as it seems. And, you'll also hear from this week's member of the week, Cathy S, and her incredible story of overcoming cancer.
