We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.
and be very careful about consuming animals that are fed corn and soybeans which are going to make their fat higher in polyunsaturated vegetable oils specifically pigs and chickens may not be a great idea unless they are really really well raised
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.
tell me again why you want to eat excess linoleic acid in your diet tell me again oh yeah you don't want to especially something from an animal that's not fed a species-appropriate diet
and obviously don't eat processed sugar because that's just gonna mess up your satiety okay so let's go back to the toxicity spectrum on plants you guys understand this i am no fan of kale no fan of broccoli kale doesn't love you back broccoli is not your friend uh and spinach is not your boo and celery is not magical
why don't i like pork lard not a fan of pork lard because pigs are generally fed corn and soy this raises the amount of linoleic acid in their fat to a level that i think is evolutionarily inconsistent for humans wild hogs have a much lower amount of linoleic acid maybe five percent of their fat this pork fat is probably going to be 15 16 17 linoleic acid
i don't eat any bacon anymore or pork because pork and chicken are fed corn and soy these are monogastric animals like humans that accumulate polyunsaturated fatty acids in our fatty tissues and bacon is a good source of linoleic acid for humans
the reason i don't eat a lot of eggs is because most eggs are fed corn and soy
so i don't eat pork for this reason unless i know exactly what it's fed if i could go to tocalau polynesian atolls might eat pork there i had a little bit of pork recently when i was a hunt and we ate a wild pig that was killed by someone on the hunt but i don't eat pigs that are fed corn and soy and seed oils because it accumulates in their fat
i don't eat pork for this reason unless i know exactly what it's fed if i could go to tocalau the polynesian atolls might eat the pork there i had a little bit of pork recently when i was a hunt and we ate a wild pig that was killed by someone on the hunt but i don't eat pigs that are fed corn and soy and seed oils because it accumulates in their fat
look bacon is very fatty those pigs are fed corn and soy that fat is highly enriched in linoleic acid and is much higher than what those pigs would show in their fat evolutionarily when they are wild
in 2023 chicken and pork are often fed corn and soy which will enrich their fatty tissues in linolic acid I don't think that's good for humans that's the 18 carbon omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid that occurs in seed oils that I think is problematic for humans when it accumulate
the chicken that's here even though it's organic is fed corn and soy and that corn and soy leads to accumulation of linolic acid which is the thing I don't like in seed oils in the chicken fat
I generally steer away from pork unless I know that it's really really good pastured pork that is not fed corn and soy in terms of salt I like the texture of the Malon sea salt flakes that'll bring out the flavor in the meat
