We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

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.

it has linolic acid which is going to be problematic because it accumulates in all the tissues of your body your cell membranes your mitochondrial membranes it appears to cause proton leak in your mitochondrial membranes that's a technical way of saying that it interferes with your production of energy which is bad for you in all kinds of ways
you eat seed oils you eat sunflower safflower corn or Canola or soyan oil and there are lots of problems with these oils they're refined they're bleached they're deodorized they're highly oxidized the Baseline but they also contain lots of this linolic acid
You make an amazing tallow at lineage, but things like soybean oil, corn oil, canola oil have 55, 45, or 25% linoleic acid, respectively. So, if you want to stuff yourself full of fragile fats like linoleic acid that make it hard on your mitochondria and your cells to keep things in an oxidative balance and that can lead to oxidative stress, be be my guest. Eat a ton of seed oils.
