he National Oilseed Processors Association and the Corn Refiners Association released a statement on the incorrect and misleading comments from FDA Commissioner Marty Makary. The Food and Drug Administration leader spoke about seed oils, saying, “Generally, they’re believed to be pro-inflammatory,” a disparaging comment that goes against the weight of established science. “We support the administration’s underlying goals of improving public health, so it’s unfortunate to see officials offer misguided comments that go against current understanding of the scientific evidence,” the groups said. “Seed oils are not inflammatory as demonstrated by large population studies and human intervention studies.” They also said seed oils have been used in the global food supply for decades and are proven to be safe and nutritious ingredients for a variety of products. “Remarks like those create unwarranted anxiety about the food supply and the formula that benefits millions of infants globally,” they added.
