So do seed oils and other PUFAs and a thousand other things and if anyone would just listen to a podcast once in a while (like Peter Attia's) they'd learn a thing or two.

> just listen to a podcast once in a while Sorry, but this just sounds so silly. If only I would take a little bit of time out of my day to pick one of the 45 new podcasts created that morning and learn from its reliable, well sourced arguments!

  Is "listen to a podcast" the new "read a book"?

    No, it's far worse. You can churn out junk podcast content at a pretty impressive rate, hours a day if you wanted.

I'm not sure I can imagine something more painful than listening to people that I find absolutely uninteresting nerding out about microplastics for 3 hours but ok

The people who think seed oils are unhealthy and cause inflammation are up there with the most ignorant folks in nutrition.

  Hearing someone say "seed oils" is a good shibboleth for knowing that your time is about to be wasted.

  So, trans fats which are a known contributor to heart disease are healthy now?

    I love comments like these, it keeps reminding me how misinformed the dogmatic folks are in the nutrition community. I'll let you reconsider your question, and also link to you (one of) the double blind, randomized, controlled studies that shows replacing saturated fat with vegetable oil significantly reduced CVD outcomes https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/01.CIR.40.1S2.II-1 https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/01.CIR.40.1S2.II-1 .

      I love pompous comments like these. I'm not part of a "nutrition community" and I'm actually pretty open minded to these things. Hence why I asked. But you seem to be unable to have a civil conversation without being an asshole. Congrats. Let's throw around studies like pokemon cards then. I have a study too: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3955571/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3955571/

        Tell me again which seed oils have meaningful amounts of trans fat in them? > I'm not part of a "nutrition community" Your comment implies you're comfortable enough to give other people advice, eg "don't eat seed oils because the contain trans fat," even though they don't. I don't mind so much that people believe whatever they want, it's a problem when you misinform others about it.
