The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

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.
and then you learn the fats of linoleic acid actually allow the fat cell to be insulin sensitive which sounds like a good thing until you realize that insulin sensitivity in a fat cell makes the fat cells grow because what happens when insulin something is insulin sensitive it grows insulin is not necessarily anabolic it's anti-catabolic so when a fat cell is insulin sensitive the fat cell is not going to be able to stop growing it's just going to it's not going to be able to like shrink or become you know it's like it's not going to be able to deplete its size it's not going to be able to like open the drain of the gate like a bathtub right insulin doesn't necessarily fill the bathroom with water but it plugs the drain so nothing else can come out
