And there are many indications that this is the cause of many modern diseases as rise of diseases correlates with rise of seed oils not industrializations. "It has been estimated that in developed countries, the ratio of omega-6s to omega-3s is closer to 15:1" "It has been claimed that among hunter-gatherer populations, omega-6 fats and omega-3 fats are typically consumed in roughly a 1:1 ratio" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_ratio_in_food https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_ratio_in_food also https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/is-canola-oil-healthy https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/is-canola-oil-healthy

Worth mentioning that canola oil apparently has a much lower omega-6 to omega-3 ratio than butter, lard, olive oil, or coconut oil, not to mention other industrial seed oils. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_ratio_in_food#Oils https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_ratio_in_food#Oils

  That's true, but as one of the links mentions oil is used in large quantity and is the top contributor even though its ratio is fairly better than other items. So if you use butter or coconut oil, you're getting around 400 vs 2.6k omega-6. So if you eat something that has better omega-3 ratio you'd need to eat lots of that to balance it out. When you switch to butter from canola you are essentially trading omega-6 for monosaturated/saturated fat.

> cause of many modern diseases as rise of diseases correlates with rise of seed oils not industrializations. I think the rise of "modern diseases* really correlates with a certain nation getting really severely obese, and this is by far the most believable, and obvious explanation.
