Protocol Overview
Removing industrial seed oils rich in omega-6 linoleic acid (canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, sunflower, safflower) and cooking with extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil first, with butter, ghee and tallow in moderation. The idea is that high intake of these oils adds to oxidative stress and inflammation. The evidence is still debated.

Safety Profile
Seed oils became a large share of calories only in the last century. Linoleic acid oxidizes easily and builds up in body fat. The mechanism is plausible, but there are no trials testing seed oil removal directly. Some meta-analyses find that replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat lowers heart disease events, while recovered older trials (Sydney Diet Heart Study, Minnesota Coronary Experiment) raise questions. Most of the benefit people see may come from eating fewer ultra-processed foods.
