Send us Fan MailOur lifestyle choices greatly impact who we are, how we age, and how we function. In most things, I realize we all still have to live our lives and we can drive ourselves crazy reducing our chemical load and constantly refining our diets. Hence the good, better, best mentality. But when it comes to seed oils, I am a stickler!DYK: It takes 680 days to rid seed oils from our bodies!
