I currently mostly use coconut oil or butter for cooking and olive oil for taste (salads, hummus).
I don't understand any of the science that I've tried to read (and watch). How misc fats like PUFAs metabolize and so forth.
The Fire In a Bottle guy has explainer videos. Alas, I'm in no way competent enough to judge how good that info is. It seems to jive with other advice, eg Dr Terry Wahls and Dr Rhonda Patrick and Dr Peter Attia. But what do I know? https://fireinabottle.net https://fireinabottle.net https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jjt6C_7Vgw4&list=PLo4Cmo9MNYmm_MCLowkfJRCL4KxMlGyss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jjt6C_7Vgw4&list=PLo4Cmo9MNY...
Nor am I able to assess tradeoffs. Like with the nootropics stuff, I worry about over optimizing (or just plain wasted effort), where the rewards don't merit the effort.
My impression is the metabolism science is progressing quickly. Esp wrt cholesterol. (I have a stubbornly high LDL, hence my interest.) I'm optimistic that sooner than later some consensus will emerge and some one can just tell me the correct answer and I can get back to coding.
