Are seed oils harming your health? In today’s episode of the NTI PodTalk, we are shedding some light on a topic that has a lot of conflicting information around it. Listen in as Dr. Chris Knobbe explains the critical role of industrial seed oils in contributing to chronic disease. The discussion uncovers the pervasive presence of these oils in modern diets and their link to health issues such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. Drawing on Dr. Chris Knobbe’s extensive research and collaborations with nutrition experts worldwide, we examine compelling data that underscores the detrimental health impacts of seed oils. Learn how avoiding industrial seed oils and embracing a diet rooted in ancestral nutrition principles can lead to significant health benefits.
About Chris:
Chris Knobbe, MD, is a physician, researcher, ophthalmologist, and Associate Clinical Professor Emeritus, formerly of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. He believes his most important role today is being a public health advocate.
Dr. Knobbe is known primarily for his research, publications, and presentations connecting Westernized diets causally to numerous chronic diseases, including coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke, cancers, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity, Alzheimer’s disease, autoimmune diseases, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). His research has focused greatly on ‘vegetable oil’ (seed oil) dangers and their unequaled contributions to Westernized disease.
In the field of ophthalmology, Dr. Knobbe is known for his revolutionary hypothesis and supportive research regarding the potentially blinding eye disease, AMD. Knobbe’s hypothesis holds that AMD is driven by processed, nutrient-deficient, and toxic foods, of which seed oils are the most pernicious and deleterious.
Dr. Knobbe is the author of two books in the field of nutrition: The Ancestral Diet Revolution (2023) and Ancestral Dietary Strategy to Prevent and Treat Macular Degeneration (2016).
Dr. Knobbe is Founder and Director of both Ancestral Health Foundation and Cure AMD Foundation. Both are nonprofit organizations with goals of treating and preventing chronic disease. His goals are altruistic and humanitarian. He seeks to end preventable heart disease, cancer, blindness, and many other chronic diseases, through the profoundly beneficial effects of ancestral dietary strategies.
