Seed‑oil panic prompts some cardiac patients to ditch olive oil

if MAHA were a meat industry conspiracy to trick people with cardiac disease to choke down as many beef products as possible before they croak, it would be doing exactly what it's doing www.statnews.com/2026/05/22/s...

Also since when is olive oil a seed oil in the first place? It’s not made from the seeds, it’s made from the fleshy fruit. It’s layers upon layers of ignorance.

I included it because I'd just seen an article about cardiac patients replacing olive oil with beef tallow because of the seed oil panic. "Back in the hospital, my patients are replacing olive oil with beef tallow, even if they don’t tell me during cardiac rehab." www.statnews.com/2026/05/22/s...

Looks like I need to issue a ruling here on the sexuality of olive oil. On one hand, inanimate object cannot have a sexuality. On the other hand, it is not only made from a plant, it is also what the Romans used to slather each other in before having gay sex with one another. Olive oil is…Kinda gay

Y'all...I have had customers tell me they don't want OLIVE OIL because of this bullshit 😭

I don't think even the stupidest of the arguments against seed oils I've ever seen have lumped olive oil in with seed oils.

Why would you replace olive oil with beef tallow? Is an olive considered a seed to these people?

A good piece. IMHO French fries fried in tallow and doughnuts fried in lard taste better, but they’re really not intended to be an everyday, or even every week, thing. But, as Ste Julia warned Jacques when he swapped olive oil for butter, “You’re going to wish you’d used butter.”

MAHA has it wrong -- following their advice is like stopping your statin because of rumors. The seed oil panic is hurting my cardiac patients As a clinical dietitian who works with cardiac patients, here’s what I want people to know www.statnews.com/2026/05/22/s...

The opposite of that list is shorter than you'd think. A clean alternative looks like this: - Grass-fed beef tallow (vitamins A, D, E, K2 + stearic and oleic acids) - A drop of cold-pressed olive oil - Optional raw honey for moisture retention - That's the entire ingredient list

it's a reaction to canola oil and all the processing it goes through, right? i dunno how that relates to olive oil or most other oils, but that was my impression
