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.

but this is the point that I've made earlier that evolutionarily he have only ever seen very very low amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids in our diet because wild animals don't have polyunsaturated fatty acids to the level that domesticated animals do
but I think that the hypothesis that you and I are both suggesting is that evolutionarily we've we are now getting increased amounts of these polyunsaturated fats and pass a certain threshold they become problematic for humans they're just not that available in quote nature hunter-gatherers and this is something that you pointed out to me don't have a lot of polyunsaturated fats in their diet because they're really only present in nature in nuts which are seasonal and as we know our hunter-gatherer ancestors don't eat a lot of nuts
