The Truth About Seed Oils

The truth about seed oils.

"Procter & Gamble invented Crisco in 1911. Cottonseed waste turned into food, but nobody would eat it."

"So starting in 1948, they funded the American Heart Association... Magically, butter became poison and industrial seed oils were heart-healthy... They literally bought the science."

"Obesity tripled. Diabetes up 700%. Heart disease is still the number one killer.

I returned to butter years ago and we only cook in Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I do remember the "lard days" though, especially at cafes and diners.

Never paid attention. Use butter and eat eggs. Assuming Olive Oil is a seed oil. Remember when everyone switched over to a “Healthy fry oil” got the $hits every time after that when eating fried food. Lasted a decade. Must be getting used to it now. Remember the McDonald’s crispy Apple pies?!

Butter, eggs, lard, tallow ... all that stuff is regularly used around here. Olive oil and avocado oil too. No corn oil (how do you get oil out of corn anyway?).

This kind of thing happens way more than people are aware. It's much better for the bottom line to turn waste into food (or supplements) than to pay the disposal fees.

The most cynical thing about Procter & Gamble’s massive $1.58 million ‘donation’ to the American Heart Association is that they didn’t actually give any of their own money. They engineered it by the back door.

Beginning in January 1948, the popular nationwide radio program ‘Truth or Consequences’ ran a competition called ‘The Walking Man’ as “an opportunity to support the American Heart Association.” Listeners were invited to guess the identity of the mystery ‘Walking Man’ from a recording of his footsteps, with a new clue given in each episode of the program, and urged: “Be generous. Give your dollars or whatever your contributions from the heart for all heart victims.” To be eligible for the competition, listeners writing in also had to complete the phrase: “We should all support the American Heart Association because …” and were encouraged to send a donation of any amount.

Procter & Gamble sponsored the show for a number of years and the show’s host, Ralph Edwards, promoted Procter & Gamble’s Duz laundry soap and Ivory soap throughout the program, although separately from the contest itself.

Three people were chosen each week to try and identify the ‘Walking Man’ until, after two months, Florence Hubbard of Richmond, Indiana, correctly guessed it was the comedian Jack Benny. By then, more than two million letters had been sent by listeners with donations totalling $1.58 million, which went to the Heart Association.

I didn't hear any of that in the video you posted and have no idea what you mean by 'Coles notes version.'
