Dr. Chris Knobbe - 'Diseases of Civilization: Are Seed Oil Excesses the Unifying Mechanism?' 

As a physician I’m ashamed this information isn’t more mainstream. I’m even more terrified the American Heart Association actually recommends these dangerous seed oils.

My father had 3 heart attacks in his late 40s. I pulled all seed oils away from him completely, replaced it with butter and animal fats and, guess what, he didn't have any more heart attacks much to the utter amazement of the local medical community. He went 32 years that way.

I'm in the process of convincing my Mayo Dr that I will reverse all the conditions I'm currently being medicated for. In 7 wks, near normal blood glucose level, high blood pressure normal, arthritis pain diminished, respectable wt loss. I'm actually looking forward to my next Dr visit in 4 months. All being accomplished with low carb, moderate protein, 7 cups leafy greens per day, high fat, 18/6 intermittent fasting. No seed oils, no processed food, no grains, cravings gone, brain fog gone, depression gone, energy back. I will not, cannot go back. If only I knew this 20-30 years ago. Even at 72 I don't think it's too late for me to be healthy and happy.

"I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" Now we can. It's not Butter. It's poison ☠

We are dying for the profit margins of food industries. The food industries and the "scientists" they employ are 100% responsible for the erroneous assumptions that people make about nutrition and health. I am sick and tired of corporate interests poisoning us!! Thank you Dr. Knobbe, you are doing essential science.

As a retired dietitian, I shutter to thing of the harm done by what we taught in good faith. Thank you. The video is so clear and I will be sharing it.

Mi grand fathers and grand mothers were all lean, no diabetes or hypertension lived between 94 to 106. They all ate lots of eggs used beef tallow and lard for everything. But their grand children who eat "healthy" most are suffering from many health problems while still young. Finally now i have an answer to that paradox.

My first clue that vegetable oils were bad was when I was seasoning my first cast iron pan and the veg oil left a nasty glue-like jello substance on the pan that took me an hour to wash off. No more vegetable oils. They go into the tank of my diesel now, not into the tank of my stomach.

Oops, my comment below, fails to show my name. This is Chris Knobbe, MD, presenter for this video (above) held at Low Carb Denver 2020. I am Founder & President of the nonprofit organization, Cure AMD Foundation. Thank you all so much!

I read a wonderful line a few years ago, “you either pay the farmer or the doctor” - vegetable oils are the result of an industrial process we are not designed to consume.

S/o to my mother for keeping my family healthy with information like this! I knew there was a reason we didn’t eat McDonalds much when I was a kid. Love you Mom!

Eliminating seed oils from my diet has improved my health in so many ways. I now cook exclusively with butter, beef tallow, ghee/clarified butter, and duck fat and have noticed an improvment in every aspect of my health. Thank you to all those bold Dr.'s and researchers that stood up and challenged the Big Agriculture and Big Agri-chemical companies that are behind the pervasive health myths.

Hi Chris. As a child and adolescent doctors force-fed me a concoction of sugar and refined vegetable oils through an NG tube, along with food fried in PUFAs for years, trying to "cure" me of anorexia. Then they wondered why my brain went haywire!! I am still not cured in my 40s But I am now a public health professional advocating for PROPER nutrition to be fed to people who are malnourished... You don't solve malnutrition with JUNK... Yet they are STILL doing it!! It is cheap and profit driven, but amounts to malpractice in my opinion. Thanks for spreading the facts 👍 Kind regards; Mary from Australia

Excellent video doctor! Keep up the great work...

The most difficult thing most people will have to overcome is elimination of the hidden oil. Crackers, chips, take out, pizza might have been sprayed with seed oil to keep it from sticking, canned food with seed oil breakfast bars, meal replacements, etc For me it will be take out. I enjoy stir frie, fries chicken, egg rolls which are fried, Spanish food which restaurants often fry, so many things. Good luck everyone

My maternal great grandma was pure Maasai. She lived to over 100 (passed in early 90s), straight back, elephant memory and clear eyesight! Let me go forth to reclaim my genes. Vegetable oils be gone! Thank you Doc.

Whenever I am in the supermarket and I pick up a bottle of salad dressing or mayonnaise, and the key ingredient is soybean oil, I carefully place it back on the shelf and walk away.

It's agonizing trying to convince my family to eat differently. My parents grew up when vegetable oils were pimped out and heavily promoted as healthy. My sister is a busy modern-day momma. My mom is in remission for cancer, my father is diabetic, my sister had a minor heart attack ( at 32!) after the delivery of my nephew! I always talk about carbs (especially wheat), sugar, and quality of fat intake and it seems to fall on deaf ears. The sweet calling of convenience foods is like a siren's call to death... it's hard.

My friend from India was always warning me and others about seed oils. And as the cases of diabetes rose, his concerns became clearer! Great video Dr. Knobbe and keep up the great work!

I have lost 20 kg since eating full cream milk and yoghurt. The only oil I consume is olive oil on salad and a little coconut oil occasionally when cooking. I don't eat or cook with margarine but use only butter if required. I am now 70 and sooo much healthier than I was in my 50's. I still eat a little chocolate but only very dark chocolate and I always eat it with fresh nuts. I avoid processed foods, preferring to prepare my own. Thankyou doctor, this is an amazing video. I want to share it with all my loved ones. Blessings 🙏🕊🙏🇭🇲

Dr. Knobbe has delivered the strongest indictment against seed oils and PUFAs that I have ever heard. Take that, American Heart Association!

The more I look the more I find this stuff everywhere. Eliminated it from my diet a week ago and I’ve already lost 7 lbs and feel WAY better. Food is killing us over profit

I been cooking only with beef tallow, lard and real butter. Leaning toward carnivore diet. 80/30 carb. I stop eating out 15 yrs now. cook at home only.

Here in India our family is cooking food with ghee for almost 40 years and no sign and symptoms of any heart related issue.

What type of people gave this video a thumbs down? This guy nailed it! Two years on a very changed diet. I feel better at 51 years old then I did at 30. For y'all with the thumbs down, you should put them up somewhere, if you know what I mean.

This video needs to go viral everywhere. You're going to be responsible for saving countless lives.

Incredible presentation. I'm shocked by what I've learned in this video, and impressed with all the data that support this hypothesis. Dr. Knobbe has done the hard work of bringing all of this together for the layman in this very easy to understand, yet concise talk. The best 45 minutes I have ever spent! Thank you, George Collins!!!

You just changed, if not saved, my life, thank you.

You HAVE indeed planted a seed - against seed oils. Excellent lecture!

This man should be awarded a prize of some sort for his investigation. Well done!! Dr., you are a messenger of hope. Thank you for all your efforts, may God bless you.

Thank you, Dr Knobbe, for contributing to my continued education (I am 70 years old and never too old to learn). I have changed my diet over the past few years to one of more healthy eating and I intend to be around for a long time yet. Your presentation was an inspiration.

This might be one of the most important videos on Food and nutrition. The good doctor really did his homework.

Life saving information. This needs a billion views

I just.moved to Colorado and discovered Dr. Knobbe while researching macula degeneration. His presentation on diet and disease and processed oils is outstanding. I've been a health conscious person my whole life and still learned more from his speech. Incredible!!!

Thank God for Doctors like this that care about our health and willing to talk about it👍

Wow, I got rid of the "vegetable" oils when I started LCHF without realizing how bad they actually are, I always hear that they promote inflammation but this takes them to a new level of toxicity.

People are making millions off of these oils, this is why they are "healthy"

WHOA!!!!! Absolutely mind blowing. Everyone needs to watch this. I cut out PUFAs from my diet some time ago but was unaware of just how harmful they are. Thank you 🙏

Excellent video. I have been eating like this for the past 6 months and down to my high school weight, every ache and pain is gone at 57 years old.

This great video should become mainstream - seed oils are so bad for us.

This is one of the most profoundly inportant talks on the science of healthy fats that I have ever heard! My wife was raised eating healthy fats like butter,lard etc.She has a healthy heart!

I just saw an article that supported that seed oils were so healthy… I rolled my eyes at that article. I grew up on highly processed food. I changed my eating as an adult… but I still have side effects of poor eating as a child.

Once I stopped eating at restaurants I felt so much better. I cook with olive oil & avocado oil. My stomach pain has gone. There’s so much truth to what this man is saying. Thank you!!!

I just wish that I had known about all of this 40 years ago...

My mother died three weeks ago on Christmas evening due to colon cancer. She was obese most of her life. She dieted constantly but always returned to sugar, wheat and processed foods. I’ve struggled myself yet am eating clean presently. My plan is develop healthy habits then healthy results will appear. Bless you doctor 🙏🏻

This explains why people on a carnivore diet see huge improvement in there vision in 2-3 years

I feel like this just shattered the ground under me. What a revelation. Thank you.

Sugars, refined flours, seed oils. Done, done and done. Feeling GREAT! And no one in my circle or tribe has any interest - due to what they have learned for their whole life. It's sad really. 3 whole generations lost to disease propagated by industry. And it will take another generation or two to sort it out. Remember the tobacco companies fought for 50 years. They only had profits from smokers. The food industry, chemical industry, grocers, agriculture industries, media, and advertising industries all have a vested financial interest in keeping this quiet, and profits from everyone who eats. Keep in mind a diet of all seed oils and refined flours is vegan. There's a reason that is being pushed, and its not the humane treatment of animals.

Even as a teenager, I knew diet soda's, marginerine, and processes foods/oils were very bad for us. I'm nearly 50 and in better shape than people in their 20's. I'm taking my health even further now by starting my own food forest and growing my own produce. I hope my neighbor's get into it once they see the benefits. We'll be able to trade like our ancestors did. I thank the Most High for giving me the instincts to have known all this without ever being a scientist.

I've watched this twice and found to be the best summation on sugar and oils and their contribution to the weight diabetes heart trifecta. Excellent Dr. Chris.

I Quit eating Processed foods and Stopped Vegetable and seed oil usage 1 year ago and Boom, No more High Blood pressure, no heart issues! Eat mostly organic and lots of nutrient dense foods, healthy supplements……Also, Lost 40 lbs. I’m 60 and Feel 40! Awesome video.

Every human being on the planets MUST HAVE THIS INFORMATION. It's life and death truth.

My fiancé is a welder... He has worked in a cooking oil plant a few times and he said it is the MOST DISGUSTING PLACE HE HAS EVER WORKED IN HIS LIFE...and will never go back no matter how much we may need the money.

A truly outstanding talk. The general public need to see this.

I am 74 yrs old, just recently had a CAC test result of "0" None. I had no arterial plaque. I eat broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts, Avocados, beef, pure cow butter and 18 eggs a week. This is how my grandmother ate. She lived to be 94. Pure hog lard was used as fat for corn bread, biscuits and any pan frying or making gravy. Oh yes my grandmother mowed her own yard til she was 85.

Since the mid 90's I rarely consume grains or seed oils especially corn, soy, sunflower, safflower, canola, flax. At restaurants I am sure from time to time, mainly from salad dressings. I don't freak out over the occasional meal with some. So happy I took the warning seriously and back when most people thought I was ridiculous. But still, most people I know or ask will answer that they think taking sunflower oil is good for them. Half the food for sale at Wholes Foods is chock full of them and advertised as essential for health.

I like whole milk and yoghurts and my doctor was always making me feel guilty for that, I'm relieved now. Hopefully here in Europe we can still find normal food.

Thank you very much Dr. Chris Knobbe for this great peace of actual science.

I removed seed oils from my diet and my psoriasis started healing itself for the first time ever. One month in and its 70% gone.

This presentation will save millions of lives. The doc is gifted at getting to the bottom of the problem. I'm so glad I got to see it!!

Dr Knobbe keep doing what you are doing. Keep being loud and clear because change can only be made from the bottom up.

Thank you for this, and for trying to help people!!!!! My wife found some videos on seed oils a few months ago. I quit eating chips, and other things with seed oils. I started checking the ingredients in everything I bought and realized that 99% were using seed oils as fillers??? In all products??? I thought I was doing something healthy by eating salads every night. Then I realized all the dressings were 90% seed oils. Couldn't understand why I didn't lose any weight??? I cut out the seed oils, and I've lost 20 pounds in 2 months!!!! And I thought I was already thin??? I was 5-11" and 168 lbs, and went to 148 lbs just cutting out seed oil foods. I was in shock because I thought I was thin already!!!! But weight is not the most important thing, I can't imagine what those toxic oils were doing to my health overall??? My sleep is better, I have tons of energy, and feel like my brain is firing twice as fast. I'm just at the beginning of my no seed oil journey, and I can't wait to see where it takes me!! I eat tons of cheese, and cook everything in butter mostly, some olive oil, and lard. and I keep losing weight. And I eat a ton of whole wheat bread, and pasta. This is insane. Everything everyone says about health should be questioned. You just need to experiment for yourself. But I agree with this video. STAY AWAY FROM SEED OILS.

I’ve watched thousands of really helpful videos in my life time, but yours on O-6 is like none other!!! Thank you so very !

Funny how superfoods keep coming out but the superfoods have been there the whole time. Butter, eggs and organs meats. The true superfoods.

In UK after lockdown lifted, the queues for McDonald’s were insane! These are serious addicts.

I am 67 and improving my former Metabolic Syndrome through low carb, fasting and so on. Your approach is clear, scientific based, powerful and certainly help me to have a clearer health picture. Certainly aiming for a Massai warrior health and physique!! Hahaha. Very grateful Dr Knobbe for teaching me a powerful information.

An Australian opthamologist years ago blamed seed oils for macular degeneration. He said it was so concentrated that the body couldn't break it down. He had great success taking his patients off it. He was dismissed as a nut by mainstream medicine.

I LITERALLTY SPAT OUT MY PRINGLES WATCHING THIS!!!!!!!!

My twin brother and I are almost solely carnivore. He have been this way for over 4 years now and we also cut out all harmful fats. We are very healthy and have lost a lot of weight. After my first year, I felt like I was 20 years old again. I am 44 today. Sadly, my brother, father and sister had died before we could introduce them to a healthier lifestyle of food. Even when my mother died a few years ago, we tried to get her to change, but it was with reluctance and also too late. The decades of misinformation that my family had learned and trusted is what helped kill them. Hopefully you all have the chance to heed this warning to your family before it is too late. It is difficult to convince anybody that you have more knowledge on nutrition than their own doctor, but perhaps take baby steps first, like convincing them to watch this video and others like it that educate them on not only healthy eating habits, but how and why we were duped in the first place. Be well RU-vid viewers.

What an amazing presentation. I plan to watch again and take more notes. I’ve adopted the diet you’re talking about with almost nothing but natural animal fats, no sugar and no refined carbs and I feel better than I’ve felt in years. It’s amazing!

Chris ends with "I want to plant a seed...", that's a hot one!

Incredibly powerful information. Thank you for proving that I was right about not listening to the FDA or most American dietary guidelines. Its taken me years to realize the connections and why I was questioning how I was gaining weight and having so much trouble getting rid of it. You posted this on my Birthday! :)

I hope Dr. Knobbe doesn't get "suicided". I am thankful for this enlightening video.

I have seen it before but this time it hit me hard. And , you know what? That man is such a great human being, so beautiful and strong

Love his passion and the content is just fabulous. Watched it 3 times.

An epiphany indeed. My life could have been so very different had I and my parent known these truths.. what a prophet.

I wish I could give 1,000 likes 💓for this video!! 🙌

This is so wonderful! Thank you. This is a very good conversation starter. I hope the world starts thinking in the direction of natural, unprocessed food.

Wow! I believe I got cancer from these oils! I was eating out, especially loving Chinese food, which has a lot of soybean oil and sugar in it. I had to have a hysterectomy and the cancer is gone (praise God). However, if i continue to eat the way I was eating, I’d most likely get sick again. Thank you so very much for your video. It is a life changer for me. I will share this with my friends and loved ones. God bless you. Please continue to spread this valuable information.

In other words; My father trusting his doctor cost him his health & ultimately his life. How does this go unpunished? How infuriating.

We have believed the food lies concerning seed oils for many years. I remembering thinking my mum was so old fashioned and unwise when she contiued to use lard and butter for frying. I on the other hand thought i was being so health by switching to oils.

I have a theory that Multiple Sclerosis and Guillain-Barré are mainly caused by replacing ancestrally appropriate animal fats with dubiously named vegetable oils. Since myelin, the protective insulation surrounding our nerves, is made up almost entirely of fat (preferentially saturated fat), and those cells are replaced on a regular basis, then the body would have to use whatever fat resources are available. If all, or most of the fat that a person consumes is from these inflammatory substances, and that's all that there is available to replace the cells, then it makes sense that the immune system would see the new inflammatory, artificial material making up the myelin as a foreign substance. It might be hard to get the funding, but it wouldn't take too much surveying of households to see what their diet is made of and when or if their transition to these poisons at least correlates to the appearance of M.S. or G.B. symptoms.

I've had to watch this a second time it was so good. I've been a health nut for many years due to having genetically higher than normal blood pressure and yet I never knew about this. Fascinating.

This makes me angry, it makes me feel like a guinea pig, thank goodness I came to my senses about 4 years ago, I only wish it could have been more like 10 or 20 though!

Respect to all Docs, scientists and educators which so passionately reveal the true nature of nourishing and metabolism so that we can improve out diet and healthspan. Keep the great work! 🙏

Thank you for this eye opening presentaion Dr. Chris Knobbe. The world needs this.

Well if that's not a compelling presentation I don't what is!! If you don't throw out all your seed oil bottles from your pantry after that I don't know what it would take.

I had trouble to stop laughing when he showed the photos of Masai and Americans.

The best life saving presentation I've watched. This video should be required for all People to watch.

Fantastic speech. Wish there was a presentation like this back in the 80's.

We got fat when everyone started eating cereal for breakfast fast food and Pizza. Ice cream too lol

Over the past two years I’ve moved my diet to mainly meat, fish, eggs and diary - removed 95% of the sugar and grains and 99% of seed oils - feel as though I’ve regained my health (physical and mental). I now cook with beef and goose fat and lard - DELICIOUS.

This is beautiful research. There’s a lot of great medical specific research out there but correlating the dates and the changes in our diet and comparing to other countries and those eating different diets without processed foods fills in a lot of those gaps and tightened everything up. I think this is brilliant

A much needed find!!! You are saying what I've been starting to believe. It's great to hear confirmation! Thank you!

Get this man on Rogan's podcast STAT!

I’m in rough shape and switched to a ketogenic diet and after dying twice , I have learned my lesson. The medical school training is wrong!

This really hits home. I'm going to watch it again and make some life changes.

The Greatest Video I have Ever Watched In My Life

Every time I see a dietician recommend “healthy plant fats “, I cringe. You are doing gods work.
