Are Seed Oils in Baby Formula Safe? A Researcher Explains
Episode 271
Thursday, 24 September, 2026
If you've scrolled social media lately, chances are you've seen someone call seed oils toxic, and that has a lot of parents second guessing the infant formula sitting in their pantry. In this episode, pediatric dietitian Jill Castle sits down with Dr. Corrie Whisner, an infant nutrition researcher at Arizona State University, to separate the science from the scare. They cover why fat is foundational in the first year of life, why seed oils show up in formula to provide fatty acids a baby cannot make on its own, how the FDA regulates every product on the shelf, and what actually matters the next time you're standing in the formula aisle trying to make a choice. If you've ever wondered whether you picked the right baby formula, this conversation is here to help you feel confident instead of confused.
