Hi @fiesty76 congratulations to you and to all who made dietary changes for the better. It takes a lot of willpower and commitment. I have come across a video which may be of interest regarding the seed oils in our diets throughout the years. Dr. Chris Knobbe is the speaker. The so called “bad” vegetable oils are difficult to omit in our diets because they are in most of our foods found in our grocery stores. Those oils are cheaper for the food manufactures. I have always used olive oil, a good oil in my cooking, but yesterday I was amazed to find how many foods contained the “bad” vegetable oils. They are everywhere. For years, like you, I made my own foods and only went out occasionally to a restaurant as a treat. I am sure the oils can be found in many restaurant foods too. I make my own foods for better control of ingredients. Now I will be more careful with my food selections. I will follow Dr. Knobbe’s advice to see if avoiding those “bad” vegetable oils makes an impact on my health. Take care. Toni

I’m so glad you posted this video. At first I thought, ‘this is 45 minutes long' . Oh my gosh! Then I viewed it in it's entirety. Very good. Now I’m going back to view it again. Thanks for sharing.

@avmcbellar, Toni, this eye opening presentation was both a highly informative and an alarming wake up call. The graphs, charts and study summaries made clear even to a non-medical person the effects that vegetable oils have on obesity and other major health issues of today.

Like you, I use virgin olive oil (and butter) in my food preparations. I didn't see olive oil mentioned specifically in his presentation. Is it to be avoided along with all the other "seed"/vegetable oils?

I'll be forwarding this health improving link to family and friends in the hope that they also will become aware of the harmful effects these bad oils and our increased consumption on them can have on longevity and quality of life. Sincerest thanks for this post!
