Seed oils are completely evolutionarily inconsistent for humans
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.
Seed oils are completely evolutionarily inconsistent for humans
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.

it's completely evolutionarily inconsistent to eat this much seed oil
more seed oils they're in everything no wonder everyone is so fat sick and unhealthy
it's completely evolutionarily inconsistent
and then similarly there's there's no human population that's sick or obese that doesn't consume seed oils in meaningful quantities so that at the very least should you know throw up the red flag that there's there's something worth looking into here
first and foremost there's no history of humans eating them and usually when we introduce new molecules and compounds into our diets and unprecedented amounts it doesn't end well for us um and and I think you know linoleic acid and Seed oils are no exception so purely from a precedent standpoint um we haven't eaten them and any population any human population that starts eating sea oils inevitably becomes sick and obese
if you listen to any of the things that I've said so far I think that there's a significant amount of evidence to say that they are harmful for humans
before that we were eating exclusively animal fats that's what you should be eating
it's very evolutionarily inconsistent to make an oil like this that is refined bleached and deodorized
