Casey Means on Industrial Seed Oils: warns against

Dr. Casey Means warns against industrial seed oils such as canola, soybean, and corn oil — the third leg of her “Unholy Trinity.” On The Megyn Kelly Show Ep. 949, Means said these oils are ultra-processed through 8–10 refining steps including hexane solvent extraction, bleaching, and deodorizing.

Means’s stated reasoning is that seed oils are easily oxidizable, excessively high in omega-6 fats — she cites roughly 20:1 omega-6 ratios as pro-inflammatory — and are shipped in plastic bottles where they can oxidize further. In her framework, replacing traditional fats with industrial seed oils is one of the defining dietary shifts behind modern metabolic dysfunction. (Contested: nutrition researchers dispute the strength of evidence linking seed-oil consumption to inflammation and disease; her claims are presented here as her position, not established fact.)
