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.
these pigs and i and i raised a couple of them not by choice just because i couldn't get like literally anything else and even on a good diet the the the fat of these pigs never gets firm it remain no matter what you feed them it's always going to be high in in linoleic acid there's nothing you can do with those pigs
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.
in the 90s they changed the genetics of the pigs to make them super lean and what that did was it the pigs uh they just did it through like natural selection picking the leanest pig generation after generation but later when they analyzed it they realized that what they had done was they had down regulated all of the genes that the pigs used to do de novo lipogenesis which means the pigs could no longer make their own fat which means the only fat that they could get was from their diet and the only fat in their diet is corn oil
those pigs are fed corn and soy that fat is enriched in linoleic acid because of the evolutionarily inappropriate feed in those pigs
the same thing with pork you bacon is from pigs that are fed corn and soy and that increases the amount of linolic acid in their fat from 4% to around 20% wow so I mean canola oil is about 20 25% linolic acid
