we're at 18 grams of omega-6 linoleic acid in 1999 that's seven percent of calories and 2008 29 grams a day or 11.8 percent of calories

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.

Stefan Guyana has done a great paper looking at the entry increase in the amount of linoleic acid in the American Western diet
he did a look back at soybean oil in the American diet and posited that it was you know maybe one to three percent of the diet 100 years you know 120 years ago at the turn of the last century
most of the American population 10 to 15 percent of their calories are from linoleic acid
if you're consuming 2250 calories a day let's say that comes out to almost precisely five grams of linoleic acid but you know I mean when you think about the typical person today on an average standard American diet as of 2008 and it may be higher now but it's probably the real relatively the same 29 grams a day
if you go clear in 1999 you can see that we're just increasing increasing with our vegetable oil consumption during this time in 1999 we're at 18 grams of La that's 7.21 of of total energy and then by 2008 we're at 11.8 percent of our total calories 29 grams a day of omega-6 linoleic acid alone
