Scan food labels to detect seed oils like soybean & canola—even hidden ones! Get health insights, research links (Gut Microbes, 2023), and recommendations. 📸🥗 Free to try on iOS! #HealthTech #Nutrition

I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on: Seed Oil Detector, a new iOS app for anyone looking to cut seed oils from their diet. If you’re worried about soybean, canola, or hidden oils sneaking into your food, this app’s got your back! Here’s what it does: 📸 Scan Labels: Snap a photo of any ingredient list, and it detects seed oils (even tricky ones like “vegetable oil”) with confidence levels. 🧠 Health Insights: Get the lowdown on why seed oils might be a concern—think omega-6 and inflammation risks, backed by research. 📚 Research Links: References to studies (e.g., Gut Microbes, 2023) so you can dig deeper. 💡 Recommendations: Tips and alternatives to make seed oil-free eating easier. I built this because I kept seeing how hard it is to spot seed oils in processed foods, and the health debates got me curious. It’s been a game-changer for me, and I hope it helps you too!

@masump Good question! The detection engine is powered by some pretty smart AI magic. We feed it a carefully crafted prompt that’s been optimised to spot seed oils by cross-referencing a knowledge base of ingredients/food science. It’s less about training in the traditional sense and more about leveraging a pre-trained language model to parse labels, then layering our own logic on top. The real trick is in the prompt engineering 🙂

Glad to see an app like this, more people need to be aware for the health affects they have. It also seems very easy to use, congrats on the launch!

@joshh_founder thanks Josh appreciate it! Hoping it helps make people aware of the research happening around seed oils 🙂
