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.

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.
Excess linoleic acid from ALL sources leads to systemic insulin resistance.
i think that long-term chronic insulin resistance aka metabolic dysfunction is driven by excess linoleic acid in seed oils
i think that long-term chronic insulin resistance aka metabolic dysfunction is driven by excess linoleic acid in seed oils
but I think that the levels needed for optimal human physiology are much lower than what we consider today
I think seed oils are the single greatest driver of metabolic dysfunction insulin resistance diabetes eventually obesity in humans
