Oxidized linoleic acid can mimic a staph infection, causing macrophages to attack obese adipocytes and lead to inflammatory pathology.

“it's going to prevent your adipocytes from dividing as they should when they're healthy it's going to turn into this yeah i didn't even really get into this but basically oxidized linoleic acid is indistinguishable to your body from a bacterial infection right you are creating an autoimmune condition in your body and that's what's causing macrophages to come in and that's what we see in obese adipocytes is that they are being attacked by macrophages and they have this inflammatory pathology going on which the simplest explanation for is you know it's oxidized linoleic acid”
