Seed oils cause insulin resistance via an energy generation mechanism at the mitochondrial electron level, distinct from sugar's inflammatory pathway.

“I think seed oils cause insulin resistance at an energy generation mechanism at a mitochondrial electron level and sugar causes it at an inflammatory level due to dispiosis in the gut.”

“Do seed oils silently promote insulin resistance?”

“As much as there is, and I believe it's justified, a very heavy focus on seed oils, I I approve of that focus, I think they're pathogenic, but I grimace when people invoke them as a primary cause of insulin resistance because the data do not support it. Again, I think they're very harmful. Um, but not when it comes to insulin resistance because you can in fact we would treat cells with palmitate cause insulin resistance, co- treat them, co-incubate the cells with either oleic acid or linoleic acid and we would reverse the insulin resistance.”
