Key Moments
Seed oil studies used flawed methods and trans fats
Norton explains that the classic seed oil study used psychiatric patients, non-consecutive housing, and included trans fats in the PUFA group.
"The polyunsaturated fat group included trans fats, which at the time were a big part of the food supply. So it's not really an experiment that tells you much."
