Adipose tissue linoleic acid levels increased from 9.1% in 1959 to 21.5% in 2008, correlating with a rise in obesity.

“in 1958 their adipose linoleic acid was four percent it was down there close to the toe allowance right but now we don't have any obesity data going back that far the first data begins in 1975 and their obesity was like seven percent so it was far lower lower than ours was in 1960 right again correlates with their adipose la and by 1988 and 89 their adipose la has up to 11.4 percent and look what's happened with their obesity it's it went from about seven percent in 1975 up to 20 about 22 percent so it more than tripled in this period between 1975 and 2014”

“adipose tissue linoleic acid has increased by 136 percent over the last half century in the united states this increase is highly correlated with an increase in dietary linoleic acid intake over the same period of time”

“look at this graphic showing the massive increase in seed oil consumption in the last 110 years specifically focus on the massive increase in seed oils since over the same time period obesity rates went from around 11.9 percent to over 43 percent in the united states obesity and overweight is now over 70 percent of the us population this correlation is too much to ignore”
