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.
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
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.
our poultry is fed corn and corn is high in linoleic acid so by eating chicken we are actually increasing the vegetable oil in our diet as well
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
