Seed oils ARE inflammatory. Full stop.

They increase oxidized LDL (PMIDs: 2008870, 14739118, 8432867, 28503188, 9488997).

Oxidized LDL is known to worsen atherosclerosis (PMID 24222937) and to bind C-reactive protein (CRP) (12244213) a marker of inflammation.

(All studies cited are in humans)

1/8

Seed oils increase Lp(a) (PMIDs: 21466598, 14739118).

Lp(a) is known to be pro-atherogenic, pro-thrombotic and pro-inflammatory (32453609)

2/8

Seed oils increase Lp-PLA2 (Lipoprotein-associated phosholipase A2) (PMID: 28503188).

Increased LP-PLA2 is strongly associated with increased cardiovascular disease (PMIDs: 22499993, 17431184) and cleaves oxidized phospholipids in LDL.

You're not fat because you eat too much, you're fat because you eat the wrong foods...

(1/12)

Yes, eating too much of the wrong foods (ultra-processed foods) is doubly bad...

But it's the wrong foods that are CAUSING you to overeat, and therein lies the problem for many people.

Calorie counting/restriction may work in the short term but it almost always FAILS long term. (PMID 28657838)

Clearly, "eat less, move more" is horrible weight loss advice...

What do the randomized controlled trials with seed oils in humans REALLY show when we look at them in detail?

Let’s briefly look at ALL eleven of them and see where this leaves us…

Thread ⬇️

𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝐎𝐢𝐥 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 (𝐑𝐂𝐎𝐓) (𝐏𝐌𝐈𝐃:𝟏𝟒𝟐𝟖𝟖𝟏𝟎𝟓): 1965 - 2y follow up. 80 patients with ischaemic heart disease. 80g olive oil vs 80g corn oil per day vs control (diet as normal) .

Result: At two years, the proportion of patients remaining free of major cardiac events is greater for the control group (75%) than for the two oil groups (olive oil 57%, corn oil 52%).

Potential flaws: only the experimental group was instructed to avoid trans fats (TF), while the controlled group was believed to consume trans fat since it was given no advice on dietary fat. In spite of this, the group eating saturated fat had better cardiac outcomes than the experimental group.

TLDR: 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐬 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐒𝐄 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐜 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 despite control group likely consuming more TF.

𝐎𝐬𝐥𝐨 𝐃𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲 (𝐎𝐃𝐇𝐒) (𝐏𝐌𝐈𝐃: 𝟓𝟐𝟐𝟖𝟖𝟐𝟎): 1958-1963 - 5y follow up. 412 participants, control group vs 76% of its calories from soybean oil in the experimental group.

Result: The experimental diet group had a significant reduction in serum cholesterol, which was associated with a reduced CHD relapse rate.

Potential flaws: The control group consumed 9.6% of their calories from trans fat. Experimental group encouraged to eat more nuts, fruits, and vegetables and to restrict their intake of refined grains and sugar.

TLDR: 𝐏𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥. Control group consumed FAR more TF than the experimental group and the experimental group received significantly more dietary counseling.

Spinach
Oats
Almond butter
Seed oils

These “health” foods contain compounds that have been shown to worsen joint pain and arthritis…

See the research below⤵️

Oxalates - deplete sulfate levels in the body. Lower levels of sulfate can lead to weaker cartilaginous tissues, ligaments, tendons and bones.

Phytic acid - Phytate is the primary storage form of both phosphate and inositol in plant seeds. It forms complexes with dietary minerals, especially iron and zinc, and causes mineral-related deficiency in humans. It also negatively impacts protein and lipid utilisation.

I have a lot of respect for vegans and vegetarians.

Making intentional choices about your diet and removing all processed foods are the first steps to radical health!

And don't forget that MANY essential nutrients for humans are only found in red meat..

[Threads]

Vitamin A, B12, K2
Creatine
Taurine
Carnitine
Carnosine
Anserine
4-hydroxyproline

These nutrients have been shown to prevent cognitive decline, muscle loss and fight against chronic diseases.

These are all major factors that reduce quality of life and shorten life span.

Dietary creatine, taurine, carnosine, anserine and 4-hydroxyproline are beneficial for preventing chronic diseases in humans.
