Are Seed Oils Behind the Majority of Diseases This Century?
Yes Past and present, Mercola has some good thoughts.
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Ophthalmologist Dr. Chris Knobbe says most chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer's disease and macular degeneration are linked to the consumption of processed seed oils

Polyunsaturated fatty acids, also called PUFAs, found in vegetable oils, edible oils, seed oils, trans fat and plant oils, owe their existence to "roller mill technology," which replaced stone mill technology and removed their nutrients
