I Investigated the FSA’s Research on Seed Oils — The Results Are Concerning

Reprint from The State Of It by Lewis Brackpool.

Seed oils have become a major topic of discussion in online health communities, sparking widespread interest in their potential impact on human health. While I do not claim to be an expert on the subject, I am keen to understand whether governmental bodies have conducted research into the health effects of seed oils and, if so, what their findings reveal.

There have been many medical journals citing the harmful effects of seed oils on human health.

To investigate this, I submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) on January 14, 2025, seeking information on their involvement in scientific research or assessments related to seed oils. The FSA’s response confirmed that they do hold information within the scope of my request; however, they directed me to publicly available materials rather than providing any previously unpublished research. Under Section 21 of the FOIA, information that is reasonably accessible by other means is exempt from disclosure.

This article summarizes and analyses the 31 documents provided by the FSA in response to my FOI request. At the end of this article, you will find a download link where you can access all the files and examine them for yourself.
