Why a Book About Seed Oils?
When I was growing up, I never had any interest in diet. Like most kids, I ate what appealed, and often sat late at the dinner table staring at things like brussel sprouts that didn’t appeal.
My mother, despite eating a “healthy” diet, fought a weight problem, often through Weight Watchers, and never really won. Her weight went up and down, and it turns out her experience was typical (Polidori et al. 2016).
My lack of interest in the sort of ‘healthy’ diet my mother pursued, and attempted to get us to eat, was exemplified by my poor dental health. In total, I had eight teeth pulled because my jaws were too small for the number of teeth God gives us, required braces, and had countless cavities.
