Dietary polyunsaturated fats, specifically omega-6 linoleic acid, accumulate in human cell membranes.

“when you eat seed oils which are corn canola sunflower safflower soybean peanut Etc these are enriched in omega-6 linoleic acid so this is an 18 carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid found in 20 to 30 percent and canola oil 35 and corn and peanut 45 to 55 and soybean oil different oils have different amounts of linoleic acid”

“All those things need to be taken into consideration if you're trying to get you know very low in your omega-6 linoleic acid and I think it's critically important to do this it's the most important thing you can do for your health yeah found the graph in your book it says in the ancestral legs quote unquote which is coming from Angel Acres you have 176 milligrams of linoleic acid per egg and then pasture-raised egg 465 milligrams of linoleic acid per egg a cage-free egg 585 milligrams of linoleic acid per egg and a kfo egg 734 milligrams of linoleic acid per egg does that sound right Chris yeah yeah so significantly different depending on what type of um what type of egg you are eating and what the chickens are eating now the intention is not to make it impossible for people to eat any food the intention is just to share knowledge and this is also why I tend to avoid chicken fat and pork fat from chickens and pigs that are fed corn and soy the same thing happens in all monogastric animals humans are monogastric animals we accumulate polyunsaturated fatty acids and it takes two to three years to turn over our fat stores and change the amount of linoleic acid in our fat and so do chickens and pigs”

“we know that human this is not debatable human physiology we accumulate linolic acid we accumulate all polysaturated fats so the more linolic acid you eat the more it's stuffed in every cell membrane in your body whether it's the membrane of your skin the epidermis the membrane of your retina the membrane of your tongue or the membrane of your liver or the membrane of your testicles or your ovaries or your neurons it's in every single cell in your body”

“those those polyunsaturated fats specifically the omega-6 linolic acid which is the single most prevalent polyunsaturated fat in our diet in 2024 stays in our body and that's because we're programmed to store it that's our bio ology it happens in chickens it happens in pigs it doesn't happen in cows because cows are ruminants and they can they can um they can saturate a polyunsaturated fatty acid they can remove a double bond we can't do that so that's very interesting we get stuck with these polyunsaturated fats in our membranes”

“the good news here is that beef is a ruminant right beef so cows bison lamb elk deer these animals do not bioaccumulate lenic acid they have the biochemical Machinery to saturate polyunsaturated fatty acids we do not”
