0:00.0	Welcome to the Dr. Gundry podcast, where Dr. Stephen Gundry shares his groundbreaking research from over 25 years of treating patients with diet and lifestyle changes alone.
0:11.1	Dr. Gundry and other wellness experts offer inspiring stories, the latest scientific advancements, and practical tips to empower you to take control of your health and live a long, happy life.
0:23.6	First things first, let's get this straight.
0:26.6	Not all seed oil is bad to cook with.
0:30.6	Not all seed oils are bad to use.
0:34.0	What we're talking about bad seed oils, we're really addressing an omega-6 short-chain

2:20.3	So many seed oils are really bad for you. Now, corn oil. Corn oil is loaded with linoleic acid.
2:28.3	Now, many people hear the word canola oil, and they think, I don't know why, that canola oil is corn oil. Now, it may be,
