because pigs and chickens are monogastric animals they accumulate polyunsaturated fatty acids so if you feed a pig or a chicken grains which 98 of pigs and chickens are fed their fat is going to have more linoleic acid

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.
guess what pigs are mono-gastric animals also most pigs are fed corn and soy as well which leads to massive enrichment of their fat with linoleic acid in the same way
bacon fat is loaded with linoleic acid i also talked about this in great detail in my podcast with nina thai schultz titled that one was something like how pigs or how pork and chicken could be killing you look you can get excess linoleic acid from pigs and chicken just like you can from seed oils so i don't eat pork for this reason unless i know exactly what it's fed
monogastric animals chickens pigs and humans cannot do that that means that we along with our chicken and pork sort of cousin brethren whatever you want to call them are stuck with the polyunsaturated fats we eat
remember pigs are like chickens they are monogastric animals they store they store what is present in their diets in their fat and they store it long term and that is what we consume as humans so you can essentially bio accumulate levels of linoleic acid if you are eating pigs and chickens fed evolutionarily inappropriate diets
because those animals are monogastric animals and they accumulate omega-6 in their fat and they will be essentially animal sources of vegetable oil if they are fed improperly
so you can essentially bio accumulate levels of linoleic acid if you are eating pigs and chickens fed evolutionarily inappropriate diets
there's evidence from I guess archaeology or anthropology that in our fatty tissues humans historically had two 3% linolic acid and now we're looking at 20 plus% wow linolic acid in our fat so we are the same as a chicken or a pig being St
