Apparently seed oils are bad somehow.

  The omega6 contents of seed oils are ridiculously high in a way not found in nature. Omega6s are inflammatory. It'll go down in history, eventually, that seed oils are more responsible for cancer, heart disease and even autoimmune issues in a way that exceed sugar could only hope to aspire to. But in combination with our 200-400g of carb a day diets? It's no wonder America is so sick

    Also there seems to be some evidence that the imbalance of Poly-unsaturated Fatty Acids and Saturated Fatty acids in our foods combined with high carbohydrate intake that may be contributing to overeating by turning our body fat into a sort of parasite that preferentially consumes calories to make more fat rather than allowing our organs first pick. https://fireinabottle.net/the-scd1-theory-of-obesity-part-1-insulin-leptin-scd1-and-thermogenesis/ https://fireinabottle.net/the-scd1-theory-of-obesity-part-1-... I am aware this site is trying to sell you something but the 3 part dive into research literature makes me feel like they might be onto something with this.

    Is this the same way that free radicals are harmful but then we realized the human body can't function without them. Excuse me for dismissing the latest internet theory on diet.

      The theories in seed oils aren't new, at all Omega6s are necessary. Absolutely. But we're not meant to consume pufa's at the level we do The poison is the dose. Even omega3s which are great for you, can give you heart arrhythmias. While omega3 is typically protective of the cardiovascular system, 4-7g of EPA can cause heart issues is taken for sustained periods. Seed oils (canola, soybean oil,stuff like Crisco, grapeseed oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, sun flower oil etc) are high in omega6s in a way you could never get in nature. In fact most couldn't exist without modern industry. Most of it is industrial byproduct repuroosed to maximize profits. And its in everything. If you shop for any processed foods - boxed foods, potato chips, crackers, most granola and cereals, most breads (excluding butter breads), salad dressings, sauces and pre-made marinades, it's in everything. In fact, factory farming changed what they feed chickens, pigs and cows and radically increased the omega6s in those as well (grass fed beef withstanding) companies have risen up to make alternative foods (Primal Kitchen being one) The dangers of our high seed oil intake has been of concern for decades. And it's well studied. If I wasn't typing from my phone I'd link to studies.
