Dr. Vinay Prasad on Red Dye #3 and Seed Oils

tl;dr: Wow, no wonder we can't find anyone to take the pro-seed-oil side of the debate.

“It also means: let’s be cautious about cooking Tommy’s pancakes in this industrial grade oil product that Dow Chemical found on the bottom of the distillery column because we could use butter, which has existed for thousands of years, and has never had a problem.

“(This is also my problem with the seed oil debate. We used to make fries in tallow. They tasted good. Then some moron said vegetable oil is healthier. That was a lie. No evidence supports that. So we should never have switched. But now the same moron is back saying to prove vegetable oil is harmful. Listen asshole, we moved away from tallow because you were lying, and now we caught you, so we don’t have to prove it is harmful. The fries taste like shit now. They are floppy and lack proper crunch. They aren’t fluffy enough in the center. Anthony Bourdain never switched because he knows what a fry should taste like and he is an idiot like you. Also the oil is aerosolizing and sticking up the ceiling tiles. So, we should switch back without having to prove anything to you. Go back to working on your alcohol meta-analysis that shows even looking at wine is harmful. Bye now.*)
