Followed your work quite awhile, searching for more the whole time.
Your impact is far greater than your numbers! My health included.
Follow Nick too and enjoy him immensely also, I don't know what it takes to produce as much as he does while studying at such a high level. I'd love to see this work combined with Dave and Nick's work! I'd love to see hundreds of rats, normal vs 1 oil added while keto, and build thresholds of bad, or something like that for all the common oils. Oil alone, oil at bad threshold, the later oil with glucose or fructose as the accelerant factor etc. Whatever makes sense to get an RDA.
This is helpful, and regarding your reference to lung cancer connected with use of rapeseed oil in China, it'd be worth knowing more about the rest of Asia, which uses all kinds of oils. China uses primarily soy and peanut (among others) but obesity is rare. Singapore and Malaysia use a lot of palm oil, and obesity is more common and seems to be getting worse. Seems like not all seed oils are created equally. Maybe has to do with the heating and oxidation?
One point I wish Tucker had made. The only way to lower oxLDL is to reduce O-6 intake. That is a big hint that Seed oil is a prime suspect. The other point is the graphs of LA in body fat over time. We just have not evolved to eat concentrated seed oils - it seems prudent to avoid them until/unless they find an alternative definitive cause of T2D.
T2D and obesity were rare when I was a boy. Now both are common and are the distal leading cause of death.
Huge Thanks Tucker,

We have not evolved to eat just about anything in the modern Western diet. Seed oils aren't the only villain.
Which other component is 1/5 of calories and can be shown to produce all the problems?
Curious.
