HOW DELICIOUSLY EVIL 😈🤣
“Seed oils are industrial lubricants!” So is water. Please stop lubricating your opinions with bullshit. 😂
Let’s look at HUMAN evidence:
🔥 INFLAMMATION: Systematic reviews of randomized trials find that increasing linoleic acid, the main omega-6 fat in many seed oils, does NOT consistently increase inflammatory markers in HUMANS. (PMIDs: 22889633 & 28752873)
❤️ HEART DISEASE: Replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat (PUFA) lowers LDL cholesterol. A meta-analysis of randomized trials found ~19% fewer coronary heart disease events with this substitution. What you REPLACE matters. (PMIDs: 37297374 & 20351774)
🧪 OXIDATION: “PUFAs can oxidize” does not establish that eating them increases oxidative damage in humans. Controlled trials increasing linoleic acid found no significant increase in measured lipid peroxidation or oxidative DNA damage. Your body is not a bottle of oil sitting on a windowsill. (PMIDs: 12399265 & 12504167)
And the “only OXIDIZED LDL matters” crowd misses a crucial step: LDL enters the artery wall and gets RETAINED beneath the endothelium, where it can undergo oxidation and other modifications. Most LDL oxidation is thought to occur there; abundant antioxidants strongly limit oxidation in circulating plasma. (PMID: 19888833)
More circulating LDL particles means more opportunities for arterial entry, retention, and subsequent modification. Oxidation doesn’t make LDL concentration irrelevant, it helps explain why retaining LDL is a problem & how much LDL gets retained is driven by its concentration in blood. PUFAs from seed oils reduce LDL (PMID: 17938300)
🫀 LIVER FAT: During matched overfeeding, saturated fat caused substantially more liver fat accumulation than PUFA, despite similar weight gain (PMIDs: 24550191 & 31369090)
📉 GLUCOSE CONTROL: A meta-analysis of controlled feeding trials found improvements in several glucose/insulin measures when PUFA replaced saturated fat (PMID: 27434027)
You don’t need to chug canola oil. But replacing it with butter because an influencer yelled “INFLAMMATION” isn’t evidence-based nutrition.
Fear is easy to sell. Human outcome data are harder to bullshit. 🤷♂️

A valuable reminder to look beyond viral claims and evaluate nutrition advice through human research. The type of fat being replaced matters just as much as the one being added.

Give me all the seed oils, artificial colors, and sugar substitutes in the world!!!!

Dude you should do a Morgan Spurlock type documentary where you just consume a diet based on the research you cite (ie. seed oils, "ultra" processed food 😉) and show us how much it improves your over all health over the course of a year. Ill do the opposite and put my body on the line by eating butter and less processed foods and we'll see how our vitals match up.
