that bond creates a cloud of electrons around the two carbon molecules that is subject to what's called an electrophilic attack and you can get this lipid peroxidation reaction and the formation of free radicals

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.
you get an unpaired electron between those two carbons and that is a lipid peroxide and lipid peroxides generate more free radicals they do this lipid peroxidation reactions and the per oxidation of lipids is exactly what happens around the edge of that corn oil bottle when it gets sticky that's how oils get rancid
the double bond would you say that makes them more susceptible to breaking down it does through a process i mean it there is there's just that's basic electro that's basically like organic chemistry it's it they're more susceptible to oxidation and there's a reaction called lipid peroxidation where molecules can essentially steal the electrons that are shared between those two carbons
in a fatty acid with two or more double bonds so a polyunsaturated fat the carbon that's between two of those double bonds is very unstable and it is uniquely vulnerable to being damaged and we call that damaged lipid peroxidation
