Well SupportedAdipose tissue levels are a more accurate indicator of linoleic acid consumption than blood levels.Well SupportedExcess free fatty acids in the blood cause peripheral tissues to become insulin resistant, which is the direct cause of diabetes.Well SupportedOrgans like liver provide nutrients such as folate, riboflavin, choline, biotin, vitamin A, and copper, which are less represented in muscle meat.Not SupportedConsuming more linoleic acid from seed oils leads to accumulation in adipose tissue and LDL particles.Partially Supported

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

Dietary stearic acid reduces visceral adipose tissue.

Partially SupportedSaturated fats like stearic acid and odd-chain saturated fats are prevalent in animal fat and the natural world.

Partially SupportedHigh levels of omega-6 PUFAs are correlated with higher coronary heart disease mortality.

Partially SupportedCertain foods lead to a strong satiety response that lasts for many hours.

Partially SupportedConsuming tallow pills before social events with junk food can improve satiety and provide energy.

Partially SupportedCalories are not metabolically equivalent, as shown by the differing effects of linoleic acid and stearic acid.

Partially SupportedMice given palmitic acid did not develop the severe symptoms observed in mice given unsaturated fatty acids.

Partially SupportedIn ICU patients, higher levels of unbound (free) fatty acids correlate with lower P/F ratios, indicating worse outcomes.

Partially SupportedThe ACE2 receptor is located on adipocytes containing triglycerides and adipocyte triglyceride lipase.

Partially SupportedSerum and plasma levels of linoleic acid are poor indicators of linoleic acid consumption; adipocyte levels are the best correlate.

Partially SupportedPeptides like ergothioneine and spermidine found in organs have been studied for improvements in dementia and overall redox balance.

Partially SupportedImmune proteins like ruminant cathelicidins, found in organs, are critical for human health and longevity.

Partially SupportedMice given oleic acid and linoleic acid developed leukopenia, lymphopenia, lymphocytic injury, relative thrombocytopenia, hypercytokinemia, elevated ALT, hypoalbuminemia, low calcium, shock, and renal failure.

Partially SupportedAdministration of oleic acid and lipolysis can lead to acute lung injury and worsen multi-system organ failure.

Partially SupportedUnsaturated fatty acids can depolarize mitochondria, inhibit electron transport chain complexes 1 and 5, decrease ATP release, and increase inflammatory mediators.

Partially SupportedAvoiding excess linoleic acid can help prevent weight gain, improve coronavirus outcomes, and improve cardiovascular outcomes.

Partially SupportedSatiety is key to avoiding weight gain, and foods that promote hunger should be avoided.

Partially SupportedAvoiding excess linoleic acid from seed oils over the holidays can prevent or reduce weight gain.

Not SupportedIncreased consumption of linoleic acid worsens coronavirus and cardiovascular outcomes.

Partially SupportedA study in Gastroenterology (September 2020) suggests COVID-19 mortality increases with unsaturated fat intake and may be reduced by early calcium and albumin supplementation.

Partially SupportedThe '30 day animal based reset' program aims to help participants with weight loss, satiety, and overall health and fitness.

Partially SupportedHigher dietary intake of unsaturated fat is correlated with worse COVID mortality, while higher saturated fat intake is correlated with lower COVID mortality.

Partially SupportedConsuming nutrient-rich animal fats before meals can increase satiety and help prevent holiday weight gain.

Partially SupportedHigher saturated fatty acid content in triglycerides may impede interaction with adipocyte triglyceride lipase, potentially leading to lower free fatty acid levels.

Not SupportedExcess linoleic acid from seed oils may lead to weight gain by short-circuiting satiety and negatively affecting adipocytes.

Partially SupportedIncreased non-esterified fatty acids trigger insulin resistance.

Partially SupportedStarting a meal with the most nutrient-rich foods before consuming items high in sugars or refined carbohydrates leads to greater satiety.

Partially SupportedDesiccated organ supplements provide micronutrients that improve satiety and prevent weight gain.
