Chapter 1: What are the health risks associated with seed oils?
But because it's less than 10 seconds or whatever, it doesn't have to go on the label. And so these people are like eating soy fried chicken fingers and they don't even realize it.
Chapter 2: What myths exist around saturated fats?
All right, guys. Steven Raffrano, co-founder of Masa. And it's a great product, dude. Thanks for coming on. Yeah, thanks for having me. One of the healthier products I've seen.
Yeah. There's a lot of stuff out there, but I think we managed to get the best combination of actually real food in the bag. Yeah. A lot of health foods, they have weird ingredients that no one's ever heard of. They just sound healthy. Right. But this is like how your grandma might have made it 200 years ago or something.
Yeah, no seed oils, right? No seed oils. And you use beef tallow. Is it grass-fed tallow? Grass-fed beef tallow. Which costs a lot, so people got to realize. Yeah. Yeah. It's not a cheap thing to make. It's like, I think, five times the price of seed oils. Wow. Like, per pound or whatever. Nuts. Yeah.
And I'm not trying to call out any brands, but when you go to the grocery stores and you buy tortilla chips, a lot of them use pretty poor ingredients.
Yeah, pretty much all of them. And the crazy thing is, if you look at the labels, it'll say canola and or sunflower and or safflower. It's like, they don't even distinguish. Like, they don't even know it's in their own products.

Chapter 3: How does plastic leach into food?
How is that allowed?
And or? Yeah, and or. What if I said honey and or sugar and or maple syrup and or stevia?
Yeah. It's crazy what they could get away with with labels.
Chapter 4: What should consumers know about food quality control?
Yeah. And they'll rename certain ingredients. Yeah. Well, okay. I heard this really interesting thing on Twitter the other day. Basically, if you fry something in oil for less than 10 seconds, you don't have to put it on the label. What? So Tyson was selling these frozen chicken fingers or whatever, and there was no oil on the label. And so some of these seed oil people called them and said,
Are you sure there's no seed oils on here? And the customer service said, actually, no, we fry them in soybean oil for 10 seconds. Wow. But because it's less than 10 seconds or whatever, it doesn't have to go on the label. And so these people are like eating soy fried chicken fingers and they don't even realize it. So what about organic seed oils? Is there a difference?
Technically, the only difference is that the root crop was grown organically. But the main reason seed oils are bad is not necessarily because the pesticides that the actual plant is grown with. The oil itself is pretty highly toxic. It's just incompatible with human biology for a whole host of reasons that we can get into if you want.
Chapter 5: What are the benefits of raw milk?
But whether they're organic or not, it doesn't change the core thing that makes seed oils bad. Have you used the Yooka app on this? The Yuka app thinks that saturated fat is bad for you. Satric fat? Saturated fat. Oh, saturated. Yeah. So the Yuka app basically thinks seed oils are good for you.
Chapter 6: How accountable are fast food chains for their ingredients?
What?
Yeah. It's based on... I can't fault them in particular, but it's based on the mainstream opinion of the American Heart Association and all the sort of fake science that's been paid for by the vegetable oil industry since the 1950s, which is that, of course, cholesterol is bad. unsaturated fat, which is seed oils, is good for you. Saturated fat and cholesterol are bad.
Chapter 7: What should you look for in ingredient labels?
And that's been the mainstream opinion of doctors for the past 70 years. But it's all based on very corrupt science. There's some good books that go into this. I don't know if you even have it on your show. Nina Teicholz wrote The Big Fat Surprise, which details the history of how the corrupt food industry paid for studies to basically say seed oils are good. It's kind of crazy.
How can they frame the study in that way?
Chapter 8: What is the story behind Masa Chips?
What exactly was the study?
Yeah, so there's an interesting... I forget what they call this. It's basically like a proxy, right? So if doctors establish, hey, this thing is good, then they can say something else causes this thing, and then that something else is considered good. Right. I'll give you an example. So if they established cholesterol is bad and that we should lower cholesterol...
they don't have to say that doing this thing makes you healthier or causes less death or makes you live longer. All they have to do is say, this thing causes lower cholesterol. And because we know that lower cholesterol is good, this thing is also good. And that's kind of what they did with the seed oil studies.
So based on some other kind of crazy science, they'd established cholesterol's bad and it should be minimized. They figured out, hey, if we feed people vegetable oils, their cholesterol levels, which are seed oils, by the way, We feed people seed oils, their cholesterol levels decrease, and therefore seed oils are good.
The thing is, though, the people in the group that they fed the seed oils to died more and more quickly. Crazy. Which is insane. But they, of course, failed to publish that part of the results. But they published that it lowered cholesterol. And because everyone knows that cholesterol is bad, it was considered good. I think that's the Minnesota Prisoners Experiment or something.
Yeah, the cholesterol study got a lot of people, especially with the egg yolks. Yeah, yeah. And then it's crazy what they do. Every other headline from some magazine like Time or whatever is, egg yolks are bad, then egg yolks are good, then egg yolks are bad again. And it's so confusing to people. Super confusing.
And every time there's a new superfood, it's usually not a superfood.
No, it's usually some industrial waste products. I remember acai was a big one for a bit. Yeah, then flax, right? Yeah, flax. Flax is, so people don't really know this, but the flax seeds come from the plant, the same plant that makes linen fabric. Wow. You know, like linen shirts, you know, whatever.
So the fibers are spun to make fabric and the seeds, they have a lot of unsaturated fats, oils in them. For a long time in Europe, like flax was grown for its fabric exclusively. The seeds were maybe given to animals or whatever. They also use the oils and the seeds to make oil-based painting.
