MISLEADING: Seed oils don't 'turn your brain into mayonnaise'
This infographic debunks the myth that seed oils cause brain damage, illustrating that adverse effects are only seen in rodents given extreme, non-human doses, while normal human intake shows no negative impact on brain health or cognition.
This dramatic claim about seed oils causing brain damage went viral because people are genuinely concerned about cognitive health.
Short answer: Human studies at normal intake levels (5-10% of calories) show seed oils do NOT cause brain inflammation or cognitive impairment. The fear is based on misinterpreting rodent studies with extreme doses.
