the key thing to note the key thing to be aware of is that linoleic acid is so unstable that it auto oxidizes even if it's just sitting in your cells right you don't have to have it sitting in a jar for it to oxidize if you eat enough of it it will build up in your cells and it will oxidize there right it turns it's going to turn into h a this is shown in the literature in adipocytes 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 that's what you know from i mean you're a physician you can tell us what this means if you have a staph infection that's about as bad as it gets in your body and yet by eating seed oils you are mimicking a staph infection in your body to your immune system it's i mean this will get us kind of off topic a little bit but it's the exact same mechanism that happens when poison ivy the ex which also is called by caused by polyunsaturated fatty acids nobody eats poison ivy you'd have to be out of your mind and yet we all eat seed oils which have the exact same metabolic effect on our immune system as eating poison ivy it's it's striking it's striking tucker and i so appreciate your work um yeah i love it so hopefully that that ties a bow in it and people can see it but i i always like to pull it back to the evolutionary lens and just think what is the evolutionary inconsistency why are we doing this it's completely evolutionarily and consistent to eat this much seed oil
