Dr Chalmers Path to Pro - Are Seed Oils Bad?

April 24, 2025

Seed oils often get a bad rap, but the real culprit isn’t the seeds themselves it’s the way they’re processed. This breakdown explains the difference between consuming whole, natural seeds like almonds and walnuts versus the toxic effects of industrial seed oils. It also explores how government regulations often restrict beneficial natural substances while allowing harmful, ultra-processed foods to dominate the market.


From the benefits of almond flour over wheat to the role of fiber in gut health and metabolism, this discussion highlights how simple dietary shifts can support brain function, reduce inflammation, and promote fat-burning. It’s not about cutting out seeds it’s about choosing cleaner, smarter sources of nutrition.
