if you're getting a lot of chicken and pork fat it could be an unseen source of linoleic acid and linoleic acid from all sources is a problem

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.

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.

the fatty acid content of chickens is pretty significant especially in the fact that they're fats get enriched with linoleic acid you can do some research really quickly and find that chicken fat is about 18 the 22% linoleic acid when fed corn and soy
most bacon and almost all chicken has more uh as much or more linoleic acid as canola oil percentage-wise
linoleic acid in a grass-fed cow is 1.8 compared to a chicken 12 to 14 or 12 to 14 in pork 18 to 22 in chicken
the number one source of linoleic acid consumption for Americans is chicken and chicken fat
we talked a little bit about chicken and that one specifically we went kind of down the rabbit hole looking at the way that that chicken being a monogastric animal along with pork will accumulate polyunsaturated fatty acids making the fat of chicken a real repository of linoleic acid if we accept that that is a harmful thing for humans in excess
what we know is that chicken fat contains anywhere from 15 to 20 percent linoleic acid in the fat if you listen to the previous podcast of donald tucker goodrich you'll know that for many people chicken fat is perhaps the highest exposure of linoleic acid in their diet
you eating seed oils or you eating lots of linoleic acid which can even hide in things like chicken and pork fat
it's probably not a great thing to have the majority of your fat coming from lard which is going to be sometimes 15 20% linolic acid which is getting close to Canola Oil
conventional eggs have a lot of linoleic acid. Uh pork fat has a lot of linoleic acid. Chicken fat has a lot of linoleic acid. Olive oil, avocado oil have moderate amounts of linoleic acid.
