Summary
In this podcast, we’re going to talk about why you should avoid sardines with soybean oil.
I recently bought some sardines that I thought were in olive oil. However, it turns out that it was actually in soybean oil (I’ll be careful to check next time!).
Always check the package to make sure that your sardines are in olive oil or water. Soybean oil is full of omega-6 fatty acids. This can nullify the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids naturally found in sardines.
Soybean oil is the most used oil in America today. It’s also the second most used oil in the world.
Soybean oil is used in everything from fast food to animal feed to canned foods.
Research shows that soy oil can induce obesity and diabetes more than fructose. Soybean oil can also contribute to insulin resistance and fatty liver disease.
Soybean oil affects the hypothalamus, reduces oxytocin, and influences over 100 genes in the brain.
Because soybean oil is so heavily processed, it acts as a powerful oxidizer, it is estrogenic, and it can induce inflammation—especially in your arteries.
If all of that isn’t bad enough, soybeans are also GMOs. This means they are exposed to the chemical glyphosate.
In summary, make sure that your sardines do not contain soybean oil. Instead, choose sardines with water or olive oil.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights. So recently I ate some sardines and I was sitting down there and I was looking at the label |
| 0:27.5 | and I happened to notice that they put soy oil. They were using soy oil and I assumed it was olive oil. |
| 0:34.9 | Obviously when I bought it I didn't check the label and so just |
| 0:38.4 | prompted this video because you never want to buy sardines in soy oil. You want to get |
| 0:43.5 | it either in water or in olive oil. So the question is why would you want to do that? |
| 0:49.1 | Because you have these incredible omega-3 fatty acids, right? And now you're going to |
| 0:53.4 | nullify them by adding the omega-6 fatty acids, right? And now you're going to nullify them by adding |
| 0:54.7 | the omega-6 fatty acids in there. So the benefits of omega-3 are huge. I mean, you have |
| 1:00.0 | anti-inflammatory, it supports the brain, it's great for the heart, and omega-6 fatty acids |
| 1:05.3 | are the complete opposite, especially when you get into soy oil. Now, soy oil is America's number one oil. In other words, |
| 1:15.2 | it's the most popular oil used in our food supply. And it's second in the entire world. So we're |
| 1:22.6 | consuming a tremendous amount of soy oil. It's in fast food. It's in most of the restaurants out there |
| 1:28.6 | if you're getting anything fried. It's in animal feeds. Some interesting studies. I'll put some |
| 1:33.8 | links down below. One is by the Journal of Endocrinology. The other is by UC Riverside Research |
| 1:38.8 | Team in 2015. And this is what they showed. They showed that soy oil induced obesity and diabetes more than fructose. |
| 1:50.3 | It also induced insulin resistance and a fatty liver. Now to be totally transparent, this was done |
| 1:56.0 | in rats, okay, not humans. So if you have a pet rat that's getting a little bit too fat, you know, becoming obese, |
| 2:02.4 | that's developing diabetes, developing insulin resistance, or a fatty liver, make sure you do not feed |
| 2:08.7 | them soy oil. Now the study further went on to talk about the effects on the hypothalamus. |
| 2:15.2 | It actually lowered oxytocin, which is a hormone, both in men and women. |
| 2:20.3 | And so they found it affected over a hundred genes in your brain. Now, soy oil, because it's been |
| 2:25.9 | processed so badly, is a very powerful oxidizer. It's very estrogenic. It creates a lot of inflammation, |
