Seed Oils

Grass-fed animal products provide both K2 and omega-3 because pasture-raised animals naturally accumulate both nutrients through their diet. Seed oils are heart healthy. Removing seed oils along with sugar and starch reverses fatty liver progression and downstream metabolic conditions. Replacing seed oils with saturated fats like tallow or coconut oil would dramatically reduce acrylamide-related cancer risk, though not completely eliminate it if refined starches and sugars remain. Omega-6 fatty acids are classified as essential but the quantity needed is far less significant than omega-3. Polyunsaturated fats are distinguished from monounsaturated fats by having more than one double bond. Saturated fats are structurally stable (no double bonds to oxidize) and are the appropriate cooking fats when reducing inflammation. Avoiding pro-inflammatory vegetable oils is equally important as increasing lutein and zeaxanthin intake for protecting the macula and lens. Coconut oil and butter, common in ketogenic diets, provide essentially no omega-3 fatty acids. Farm-raised fish contain approximately three times more omega-6 fatty acids than wild-caught fish.
