Butter Isn’t Better!

Now I want to give the Chinese medicine perspective on seed oils versus butter and animal fats, okay? And here it is. For some people, doing animal fats and butter may actually be more harmful to their body than processed seed oils because these oils tend to be processed more slowly by your body, okay? They cause more what we call dampness in Chinese medicine, so they can cause more sluggishness of the liver and the digestive system. So if your body can't move through things pretty quickly, it's going to cause an issue. Now, seed oils do cause dampness, okay, in Chinese medicine, and dampness in Western medicine would be you're more likely to accumulate phlegm, like mucus, and candida overgrowth of bad microbes, okay, with too many bad oils, and also they tend to be more heating. They'll cause more inflammation in doing the industrialized seed oils. To where animal fats cause your system to move more slowly, seed oils tend to be more inflammatory according to Chinese medicine.
