Increased consumption of chicken contributes to increased vegetable oil intake due to corn-based poultry feed.

“so basically chickens fed corn are like a synthetic or a sneaky source of vegetable oil so people might be listening to this and thinking i don't drink vegetable oil but you're if you're eating mainstream chicken that's fed corn you are getting linoleic acid in this way”

“feeding the chickens well I'll ask you what you feed the chickens and then one of the things I've gotten interested in recently is feeding chickens things other than corn and soy to decrease the amount of linoleic acid in those chickens like feeding it barley or sour gum or feeding at other things because the corn fed chickens do get higher than oleic acid yeah”

“because you also have wheat which is also kind of high in little acid so it's hard to get a chicken that doesn't have one house”

“most chickens most turkeys most ducks etc insert your bird of choice here are going to be fed corn and soy they're going to be fed vegetable oils that is going to lead to enriched levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids in their fat not a good thing”

“and we can imagine that evolutionarily chickens would have had much lower levels of linoleic acid in their fat”

“but to actually buy any sort of scale chickens that aren't fed High linoleic grains I don't think it exists at least not in the U.S”

“the same thing happens with chickens chicken fat can get very enriched in linoleic acid 15 plus percent twenty percent linoleic acid versus a wild chicken which I don't see that much perhaps in Hawaii four to five percent linoleic acid”
