What's the deal with seed oils?

What's the deal with seed oils?10. Sept.1 Std. 04 Min.

This week, Emily and Perry dive into the slippery world of seed oils. Canola, vegetable, safflower, yes, even avocado: why have these plant-based oils gotten such a bad rep compared to their animal-based counterparts? How does processing and frying play in? Is it beef tallow's world and we're just living in it? Note: this episode is best enjoyed with a big plate of fries.

Plus: a disappointing heart drug, the military is no longer testing testosterone (thanks to us??), and exciting news in the pig kidney community.
