The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
so again if i were gonna like you said if i were gonna i don't eat potatoes or vegetables but if somebody wanted to do that and i've talked in on previous podcasts about why i'm not a fan of those things i would use tallow for that or butter would be those would be much better sources much lower linoleic acid sources
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
we need a small amount where do you get the small amount wild animals will give it to you in their fat in amounts of one to two percent of their fat maybe a little more than two percent seed oils 20 30 40 50 60 olive oil avocado oil 15 to 20 linoleic acid why i'm not a fan of those they're much better than seed oils still not a fan of them why are you not eating animal fats tallow and butter two to three percent linoleic acid
one why would you use olive oil or avocado oil when you could use butter or tallow these animal fats are much lower in linoleic acid a polyunsaturated fatty acid found in seed oils and olive and avocado oil in higher amounts than these fats that has been connected with human chronic illness obesity diabetes cardiovascular disease etc
I'm only eating Tallow and butter which are low linoleic acid in my diet
how do you get the lowest levels of linoleic acid in your diet you eat something like Tallow or butter or ghee for your animal fats for all of your fats you don't even need olive oil though olive oil is probably much better than things like canola definitely definitely better than things like cottonseed soybean grape seed Etc
so I think that if you use olive oil we just don't know if that's going to slow your progression slow your improvement from a diabetic pre-diabetic State and I don't miss anything not having olive oil on my diet I don't understand why most people actually cooking oils in the first place I use a grill and I cook my meat on the grill and if I need more fat on the meat which I often do even with 80 20 ground beef I want it to be fattier I'll use a raw butter or Tallow on there so those are the animal fats that I think are the best they're the lowest in linoleic acid
you eat something like Tallow or butter or ghee for your animal fats for all of your fats
I prefer animal fats like butter and Tallow or ghee because they're much lower in linoleic acid and I want the lowest amount of linoleic acid possible in my diet
much better fats to cook with are things like Tallow which have less monounsaturated fat way more saturated fat and very small amounts of linoleic acid for reference Tallow has around two percent or less linoleic acid butter is about two percent relative to 20 30 40 50 linoleic acid in the seed oils I described earlier
my favorite fats are Tallow butter and ghee but if you want to know how to pick an olive oil um in short I would look for something that is organic extra virgin single source and cold pressed there's only one here at Trader Joe's that fits the bill for that again I don't use olive oil in my diet I think you want the lowest amount of linolic acid in your diet possible olive oil is higher in linolic acid significantly than Tallow and butter and ghee the latter have about 2% linolic acid olive oils can have 10 to 15%
