Well SupportedExcessive intake of linoleic acid arises from its concentration and abundance in processed seed oils.Well SupportedThe modern American diet, with constant exposure to linoleic acid-containing fats, leads to a continuous supply of HNE and its associated toxins.Well SupportedAdipose tissue levels are a more accurate indicator of linoleic acid consumption than blood levels.Well SupportedHigher intake of linoleic acid is likely worse for humans from an evolutionary perspective.Not Supported

Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

Evolutionarily inconsistent consumption of vegetable oils and excess linoleic acid is not beneficial for humans and should be avoided.

Well SupportedThe fatty acid composition of the human body mirrors dietary intake, meaning a low linoleic acid diet will result in lower linoleic acid levels in one's fat cells.

Well SupportedSeed oils were historically used as machine lubricants and are now a major part of the human food supply, unlike animal fats.

Well SupportedFocusing on food quality over quantity may allow for eating more food without negative consequences.

Well SupportedSeed oils may disrupt cannabinoid receptors and the hypothalamus, contributing to hunger and obesity.

Well SupportedSeed oils may disrupt satiety by interfering with cannabinoid receptors and the hypothalamus.

Well SupportedA tablespoon of soybean oil requires eating an "insane amount" of soybeans, and a tablespoon of corn oil requires consuming approximately 25 ears of corn.

Well SupportedThe implementation of seed oils around the 1950s and 60s correlates with a worsening trend in cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity.

Partially SupportedEndogenous and exogenous cannabinoids trigger hunger via receptors in the duodenum.

Partially SupportedSeed oils are pervasive in the Dell Children's Hospital kitchen.

Partially SupportedAvoiding seed oils is a simple and effective way to address issues related to hijacking satiety mechanisms.

Not SupportedRoux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery can lead to malabsorption, B12 deficiencies, and iron deficiencies.

Not SupportedThe 'calories in, calories out' model fails to address psychological factors and chemical hijacking of satiety that cause overeating.

Not SupportedBlocking the cannabinoid receptor system or using PCSK9 inhibitors are reductionist approaches to health problems.

Partially SupportedTo obtain 5-7 tablespoons of sunflower seed oil, one would need to consume 1.5 pounds of sunflower seeds.

Partially SupportedHumans do not have an evolutionary history of consuming rape seeds or cotton seeds.

Partially SupportedAnandamide is a cannabinoid that THC also binds to.

Partially SupportedGastric bypass surgery can improve satiety and insulin sensitivity by bypassing the duodenum and its cannabinoid receptors, thereby reducing hunger signals from linoleic acid.

Not SupportedRimonabant, a CB1 receptor blocker, causes weight loss and improves insulin sensitivity but is associated with an increased risk of suicide.

Partially SupportedSoybeans were historically used primarily to nitrogenate soil, not as a direct human food source.

Partially SupportedCannabinoids are used to increase appetite in cancer patients experiencing cachexia.

Partially SupportedCanola oil is derived from genetically selected rapeseed that is low in erucic acid, a fatty acid previously associated with heart lesions (myocardial liposis).

Partially SupportedGastric bypass surgery carries risks such as malabsorption, B12 deficiencies, iron deficiencies, and blind loop syndrome.

Not SupportedSleeve gastrectomy and lap banding are considered 'medieval' surgical interventions for obesity.

Not SupportedBariatric surgery clinics may not adequately counsel patients on improving food quality, sometimes allowing unhealthy foods.

Partially SupportedAvoiding evolutionarily inappropriate foods allows for appropriate changes that improve life quality.

Partially SupportedAddressing the root cause of issues like overeating, rather than applying blanket solutions, allows individuals to make appropriate changes that improve well-being.
