Is there a SINGLE population on the earth that consumes MORE than 2 tablespoons of seed oils per day (approx 4% of calories from linoleic acid) that is free from chronic disease?

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.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
but basically EVERY westernized population consumes >4% of calories from linoleic acid and suffers from rampant chronic illness.
And there are MANY (though quickly vanishing) populations that consume significantly less than 4% of calories from linoleic that are are essentially FREE of chronic illness - Hadza, Tukisenta, Tokelauans, Kitavas, Yanomono, etc...
when they had very little linoleic acid in their diet zero or little two percent yeah essentially none so the hunter-gatherer papa this is why anthropology should be taught in medical school these hunter-gatherer populations do not suffer the chronic diseases that we have as humans
when you start looking at this on a population level there are no populations that avoid seed oils that have the health problems with the chronic diseases that those populations that have high levels do right they're I've looked I've asked people I've yet to find a single exception
