olive oil is only like 3% steric acid I think and so so that ratio of of oleic acid to steric acid and olive oil is 25 to 1 um

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

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.
Seed oils have 20, 30, 40% linoleic acid, omega-6 polyunsaturated fats. Olive oils tend to have 7 to 15%. And I have certificates of analysis for many of these oils. So, I can tell you how much linoleic acid is in them. For instance, this guy here has about 7% linoleic acid. So, not a ton. I mean, more than tallow. Tallow generally has 1 to 2% linoleic acid. Butter is around the same, but this olive oil has a little bit more.
There are more unsaturated oils, specifically more monounsaturated fats in olive oil versus tallow and slightly more polyunsaturated fats like linoleic acid in olive oil versus tallow.
