The real science behind seed oils and health and how RFKJr is either misunderstanding the research or misleading about the research- either of which shows his inappropriateness for leading on the USA’s healthcare and science
RFK Jr says they are poisoning us, influencers call them unnatural – but what is the truth about seed oils?
The common cooking ingredient has sparked fierce debate since the US health secretary urged people to avoid it
