SEED OILS: THE COMPLETE 2025 HEALTH ANALYSIS
Seed oils have long been caught in the crossfire of nutrition debates. But as of 2025, emerging research tells a more nuanced story. When used to replace saturated fats, seed oils like canola and sunflower may lower LDL cholesterol and support heart health. The real concern? Their overuse in ultra-processed foods—not the oils themselves.
Experts now agree: moderation is key, and balance matters. Aim for an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of 4:1 or lower by incorporating more fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts into your meals. With smart cooking choices and a focus on whole foods, seed oils can be part of a healthy, modern diet—without the fear.
