In recent months, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made the alleged dangers of “seed oils” a rallying cry among his MAHA supporters, calling them “one of the most unhealthy ingredients we have in foods” and suggesting people fry their food with beef tallow instead. This claim has baffled nutrition experts, considering that a robust body of research shows that common oils derived from vegetables — including canola, corn, and sunflower oil — are healthier alternatives to butter and lard. And the evidence is only growing: A new study found that people who consume more seed oils may actually have a lower risk of death.

The study, published this week in JAMA Internal Medicine, looked at dietary data from more than 220,000 people over three decades. Researchers found that those who consumed the most butter had a 15 percent higher risk of mortality compared to those who ate the least butter. On the other hand, those who consumed the most plant-based oil — including safflower, soybean, corn, canola, and olive oil — were found to have 16 percent lower total mortality. The authors concluded that “substituting butter with plant-based oils may confer substantial benefits for preventing premature deaths.”

Looking forward to RFK Jr. doing his own study on seed oils as he is with vaccines and autism.
