Tucker Goodrich has been studying seed oils for over 10 years now and he’s become the world’s primary expert on them.

He comes on the show with Dr. Anthony Gustin to dive into the nitty gritty details and research behind why vegetable oils are so bad, why they’re so prevalent, where they came from, what happens when we over consume them, and the chronic diseases that surface from consuming them.

Dr. Gustin and Tucker Goodrich also discuss how Tucker found out that seed oils were a problem, his personal experience with removing them, how primitive populations who don’t consume them fare, what we’ve learned from animal studies, and so much more.
