@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!

Can you please send a copy or link regarding the presentation. My under grad degree was in chemistry and spent 16 years in food R/D working for a multinational company before moving into the supply chain/ manufacturing. My first 12 years were in oils and fats products. I try to keep up with the literature but not always successfully. I am presently engaged in pet foods and related products that focus on functional and beneficial ingredients. The pet industry has actually come further along in nutrition than human foods. Thanks.

@fiesty76 I was surprised how much I had learned when I thought all this time I was eating as healthy as I could. Who would think vegetable oils can do this to us. It is because of the processes of the refineries mass producing and making the oils unhealthy. Unfortunately it is all about money and not our health.
Here is a list of the fats. Hope this helps to clarify between some of the good and bad.Toni
