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.
we see this in lab animals too no latin animal has the same physiology as a human but you can also see that if you give mice lots of polyunsaturated fat and i'll talk about these studies later they get very obese if you give them saturated fat specifically stearic acid and palmitic acid they get very thin
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.
he is showing that carbs don't cause diabetes or weight loss that it is about the fats you're eating the stearic acid the linoleic acid
it is the type of fat you're eating there is nuance there as well people always ask me should i not eat fat and carbohydrates together you can definitely eat fat and carbohydrates together don't you dare eat linoleic acid ever or a linoleic acid in carbohydrates definitely don't eat linoleic acid and carbohydrates together horrible idea horrible idea but another thing to come out of the podcast though i am no fan of wheat because of you know wheat germa gluten in and many of the other lectins found in wheat as i talk about in my book the carnivore code the carnivore code
i think that there's that ratio between linoleic acid and stearic acid in the human diet and the more stearic acid and the less linoleic acid is going to promote i would say healthy weight leanness and then you can go the other direction less stearic acid more linoleic acid is kind of going to go the other direction
if you are struggling with weight you may want to really understand the linoleic acid to stearic acid ratio in your diet meaning minimize linoleic acid
On the flip side, there are very interesting studies in mice showing that if you feed mice stearic acid, an 18-carbon saturated fatty acid found in animal fats, things like milk, cheese, butter, and tallow, that those mice get lean. They lose weight. They lose visceral adiposity and they become healthy.
