The Truth About Seed Oils: Are They Secretly Harming Your Pet?

from The Pet Parenting Reset · host Jessica L. Arrington

Cherie Calbom — "The Juice Lady," bestselling nutrition author, and co-author of the new book The Truth About Seed Oils — joins me to break down exactly what's in that bottle of "vegetable oil" and why it's not what the name implies. We trace seed oils back to their actual origin (machine lubricant, not food) and how they ended up marketed as heart-healthy after WWII shortages pushed them into the food supply. Cherie explains the two-fold problem: the industrial processing (500°F heat, hexane extraction, deodorizing, bleaching) and the omega-6 to omega-3 imbalance it creates in the body — and in our pets, where AAFCO doesn't even regulate that ratio, so most kibble runs closer to 30:1 instead of the 4:1 we should be aiming for.Note: in the video I say 40:1, the correct figure is 30:1We get into what Cherie feeds her own dog Winston, how to read a label without a chemistry degree, the actual smoke-point science behind cooking oil choices, and a genuinely surprising study on whole eggs and Alzheimer's risk that applies just as much to your dog's brain health as your own. If you've been meaning to clean out your pantry (and your pet's food bag), this is your sign.🐶 🐱 Nutrition & Holistic Health Consults: ⁠https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/collections/consultations⁠ 🐶 Get to the root cause with the Wild Wellness Bioenergetics at-home testing kit: ⁠https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/products/bioenergetic-sensitivity-testing-for-dogs-full-scan-wild-wellness-powered-by-pet-medella⁠ 💛 Follow The Pet Parenting Reset on Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thepetparentingreset/⁠🤍 Follow Wild Wellness Pet on Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/wildwellnesspet/📩 Get email notifications for new episodes: ⁠https://jessicalfisher.kartra.com/page/tpprnotify⁠
