"Seed Oils are a very harmful ingredient in the modern eating plan"--Paul Ebeling
Your choice of cooking oil can make a big difference in your health. Soybean oil is not only is partially hydrogenated and loaded with trans fat, which has been linked to heart disease, it’s also a source of an omega-6 fat called linoleic acid (LA), which is highly susceptible to oxidation and is typically from GMO seeds.
In Y 2015, a UC Riverside research team found soybean oil induced obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes and fatty liver in mice. Then 2 yrs later, they confirmed this by showing soybean oil modified to be low in LA caused less obesity and insulin resistance than the unmodified soybean oil.
Then, in Y 2020, that same team published research showing soybean oil, both the modified and unmodified versions, actually produced genetic changes in the brains of mice, and they were not for good or better.
While the UC Riverside study claimed the genetic changes in the brain applied only to soybean oil and no other vegetable oils, there are lots of other research showing vegetable oils, also known as seed oils, are some of the most harmful foods you are likely eating.
In this study, the researchers compared diets high in 3 different types of fat:
Soybean oil, which has a high LA content
Soybean oil modified to be low in LA
Coconut oil
In the video below Dr. Chris Knobbe, founder and president of the Cure AMD Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to the prevention of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), gives an excellent synopsis of why seed oils are the unifying mechanism behind westernized chronic diseases like heart disease, obesity, cancer and diabetes.

Considering the serious damage they cause, eliminating seed and vegetable oils from your eating plan can go a long way toward improving your health. This includes soy, canola, sunflower, grapeseed, corn, safflower, peanut, rice bran oil and adulterated olive and avocado oils.
To avoid these oils, do not buy them or cook with them, but also avoid processed foods, condiments, fast foods and restaurant foods. If you eat out, you are undoubtedly eating unhealthy amounts of seed oils, as most restaurant foods are loaded with it.
Fried foods, dressing and sauces tend to be Key culprits. Your best bet is to prepare most of your food at home, so you know what you are eating and, in the case of seed oils, what you are not.

AI Demand in 2026: The Revenue Is Finally Catching Up to the Capex
The Q2 2026 numbers show AI capital spending finally converting into revenue. AWS up 37 percent, Google Cloud up 82 percent, Azure in the low-to-mid 40s and Nvidia data center near $75 billion, with combined hyperscaler capex tracking toward $740 billion and demand still outstripping capacity. Shayne Heffernan on what carries into 2027.
The Invisible Symphony: Frequency Pollution and Human Health
We have engineered a world that is out of tune with our own biology. Here is the evidence on electromagnetic and acoustic pollution, the frequencies that put the nervous system back together, and a practical detox you can start this week.
The Agentic Hangover, the Grid Breakpoint and the Quantum Breakout
Two sectors moved today and both moved hard. In AI the story is no longer the GPU, it is the power to run it: agentic workloads have multiplied inference by 15x, the capex bill is compounding faster than the revenue behind it, and Northern Virginia is load-shedding. In quantum, a logical-qubit milestone has halted the pure plays. Shayne Heffernan walks the live tape, the architecture wars and the exact portfolio directives, with the dependency graph both trades share.
The AI Compute Arms Race: United States vs. China
Compute is the currency of AI supremacy, and the whole race resolves to a handful of companies and a single foundry. The full board, mapped as a live ontology so you can see where value concentrates and where fragility hides.
