Summary

Tucker Goodrich has been studying seed oils for over 10 years now and he’s become the world’s primary expert on them.

He comes on the show with Dr. Anthony Gustin to dive into the nitty gritty details and research behind why vegetable oils are so bad, why they’re so prevalent, where they came from, what happens when we over consume them, and the chronic diseases that surface from consuming them.

Dr. Gustin and Tucker Goodrich also discuss how Tucker found out that seed oils were a problem, his personal experience with removing them, how primitive populations who don’t consume them fare, what we’ve learned from animal studies, and so much more.

Here’s a peek at some of the topics Tucker and Dr. Anthony Gustin get into:

Tucker’s backstory and how he went from being a Chief Technology Officer to studying the effects nutrition has on our health
The serious health conditions Tucker experienced firsthand
Why Tucker didn’t get better even after eliminating sugar and carbs and what he removed next
The approach Tucker used to remove wheat and seed oils from his diet and what happened when he did
Does consuming wheat or seed oils give you different symptoms?
The food that gave Tucker the biggest reaction and why that is
What Tucker removed from his diet that eliminated all of his health problems
How is family reacted when he removed these offenders from their diet too
What happens when seed oils break down in the body
What we’ve learned from the Hadza tribe
The shocking reason why seed oils were created in the first place plus how they're made
How we went from having virtually no chronic diseases to 60% of the population experiencing them
What was uncovered from animal studies that fed mice polyunsaturated fats and what we can take from this
The heart failure epidemic and what can be done about it
Two omega-6 components to be concerned about
Why it’s so hard to accurately study seed oils
How seed oils are used to induce cancer in lab animals
How long does it take to return to baseline after removing seed oils?
Why non-contact ACL tears are on the rise and what can be done about it
How seed oils are getting into the meat we eat
How much should we really worry about this?

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Natural State podcast. I'm your host Dr. Anthony Guston. It is my
0:10.4	belief that the natural state of any living organism's health and that our artificial
0:14.4	habitat has forced us into having artificial health problems. This show is my attempt to
0:18.7	dive deep and learn about using nutrition, sleep, movement, relationships and more to help
0:23.8	you reclaim your natural state of health in a modern world and show you how to thrive
0:27.7	in an environment that's stacked against you. If you enjoyed today's show, you can find
0:31.3	out more details and information at Dr. Anthony Guston.com. Super excited to have Tucker Goodrich
0:38.6	on the podcast today. He is what I would call the world's primary expert on the literature
0:44.4	when it comes to vegetable oils, aka seed oils and their impact on human health. He has
0:50.1	gone down more of a rap hole in this stuff in the last 10 plus years than anybody that
0:54.2	I know of and he posts a lot of this on his blog, which we'll talk about. We're going
0:59.6	to try to get into the nitty gritty of the science today around why this stuff is so bad.
1:05.8	But man, there's just so much to unpack and I still have trouble explaining to people
1:09.9	why these things are so bad. We had to break it up into parts. The first part today is
1:14.3	actually all about Tucker's background, his thoughts on how we got here, sort of the
1:18.8	history of seed oils and vegetable oils. And then why from more of a common sense standpoint
1:24.4	that these just make no sense in our food supply system and how they could be making a
1:28.6	sick. So this one is a good prep episode to get your feet wet and start talking about
1:34.3	this stuff. Obviously, I've addressed this in the podcast quite a lot. And if you pay
1:38.4	attention to any of my social media, Twitter, Instagrams, specifically in my newsletter,
1:42.2	the feed at drandanaguston.com. The feed, you will know that it's been a subject of interest
1:47.2	for me for many, many years. But again, I think Tucker is the pre-eminent expert in the
