Key Moments
Seed oils make up 20 percent of daily calories and cause inflammation
Dave Asprey highlights that seed oils constitute roughly 20 percent of the average person's daily caloric intake, with recent studies linking them to metabolic dysfunction and chronic inflammation throughout the body.
"even if you think it's healthy, it probably contains seed oils, which make up 20% of the average person's daily calories. And recent studies show seed oils can cause metabolic issues and inflammation in your body."
Nixtamalized corn removes mycotoxins and anti-nutrients
Asprey explains that nixtamalization is a traditional process that removes mycotoxins and anti-nutrients from corn, making it one of the few forms of corn he considers safe to eat.
"This is one of the few times I'll eat corn because this corn is nixtamilized, which is a process that removes mycotoxins and anti-nutrients."
