Season 14 Episode 2: Episode 2

Baking, roasting, or frying—we all use them: vegetable oils. From sunflower oil to canola oil: they're in practically every kitchen. But according to some influencers, they're bad for you. These oils are said to be hyper-processed, contain too much omega-6, and oxidize quickly, leading to chronic inflammation, cancer, and heart disease. How is it possible that the influencers spreading these ideas and the scientists criticizing them both base their claims on science? We investigate the facts with nutrition scientist Coen Dros, who actively combats nutritional misinformation on social media.
