Hi B.,
I've seen parts of this video before.
Almost everything they say isn't backed by scientific studies, except for a single 1922 study on corn oil—which they don't link to. They claim this one study should be the "nail in the coffin" for seed oils, but that doesn't prove anything about other seed oils.
The videos I've watched on the subject tend to be more neutral regarding the health effects of corn oil.
Much of what this video claims is contradicted by sources I've shared previously, which present evidence of health benefits from some seed oils. Those videos cite multiple peer-reviewed studies and provide direct links to the research.
They assert that seed oils are all omega-6, but Canola oil offers a healthy ratio of omega-3 to omega-6.
They also claim that saturated fat is harmless, which contradicts current research. You can see that here:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32428300/
They advocate eating more animal fat and blame Crisco for health problems—which might be valid, since the original formula contained trans fats.
To their credit, they do make a good point about avoiding ultra-processed foods.
However, the central fallacy of the video is that it treats correlation as causation. Also, anecdotal evidence isn't a substitute for scientific research. In reality, many factors have contributed to the decline in American health. From a dietary perspective, there's strong evidence that sugar is a major culprit. I think they're targeting the wrong villain.
Best wishes,
John Coffey
