Details

Description

Ultra-processed seed oils, like canola oil and sunflower oil, have long been considered heart-healthy cooking fats. But a new wave of health influencers says alternatives like beef tallow are a more natural — and healthier — option. Health editor Mia de Graaf takes a closer look at the science to see if seed oils are really as bad as the critics think.

EDITOR'S NOTE: In a previous version at 3:24, the narrator incorrectly stated that tallow is made from the remnants of beef, pork, or poultry. It is only made from beef trimmings.
