Well SupportedFor men, a protein intake of approximately 1 gram per pound of body weight per day is recommended, while for women, it's about 0.9 grams per pound of body weight.Well SupportedExcessive intake of linoleic acid arises from its concentration and abundance in processed seed oils.Well SupportedLong-term sustainability and personal adherence are more important than the specific mechanisms or theoretical benefits of a diet.Well SupportedSeed oils are included in baby formulas to match the linoleic acid content of human breast milk.Well SupportedPure fructose or processed sugars like high-fructose corn syrup should not be conflated with whole-food carbohydrate sources such as fruit or honey.
