# Claim
|
|
|
|
>Seed oils are unhealthy because they cause cholestasis.

## Rebuttal
|
|
|
|
While partially true, this claim counts as a [[red herring]], because it's not actually seed oils simpliciter that causes [[cholestasis]]. In the [[LA Veterans Administration Hospital Study]], the seed oil group had a dose-dependent increase in gallstones [(1)](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4681896/). However, the most parsimonious way of explaining the effect is through hepatic [[phytosterol]] elimination leading to gallstones, not [[linoleic acid]] [(2)](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9437703/)[(3)](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27812789/).

Some seed oils, such as corn oil (the primary seed oil investigated in the LA Veterans trial), have extremely high concentrations of [[phytosterols]] [(4)](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31404986/). At the doses investigated, this may be expected to cause issues, but these are not doses that people typically consume, even on the [[standard american diet]].
