This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and Rupa Health.\nMany of us grew up with the message that vegetable oils are safe to use as a heart-healthy alternative over traditional saturated fats. Found at your typical grocery store, these clear, tasteless, and highly refined and processed oils include corn, soybean, canola, safflower, and sunflower oils.

It turns out the truth about oils is not so clear cut.\nIn today\u2019s episode of my series I\u2019m calling Health Bites, I talk all about seed oils, why they shouldn\u2019t be a part of your diet, and the type of fat and oils you should consume instead for optimal health.\xa0\nThis episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and Rupa Health.\nFor a limited time, new subscribers to ButcherBox will receive free ground beef FOR LIFE.
