Alright this thread really blew up. Thank you and welcome to all my new followers. To be clear, I have presented one view of the topic as described by @TuckerGoodrich and @CarnivoreMD, which I agree

For what to replace your seed oils with check out the work of @RealOilRspctr and start using real fats. I prefer the animal fats rich contain fat soluble vitamins
For those looking for specific references from the literature check out the podcast show notes

My thread is only one interpretation of the scientific literature. @ck_eternity_ has gathered some excellent studies that together paint a contrasting picture. Check it out. Point is that is complex and nuanced.

Its important to read widely and come to your own conclusion. Check out Tucker's blog yelling-stop.blogspot.com, read Deep Nutrition by @drcateshanahan, Ray Peat raypeat.com/articles/artic…
Listen to Dr Chris Knobe or @DrPaulMason. You can even read the seed oil industry-sponsored studies to understand why they are flawed
That said, I still believe 95% of people would improve their health by

1. removing industrially refined seed oils rich in linoleic acid as their primary cooking oil

2. avoiding fake foods like donuts, cookies, cakes made with refined seed oils + sugar + carbs in combination
3. Using saturated animal fats like organic beef tallow for high temperature cooking

In my clinical experience, this approach has helped my patients lose weight, shake various non specific symptoms and improve subjective feeling of health
I'm not suggesting seed oil consumption is the only factor underlying chronic disease epidemic but I am emphasizing real fats as one of the 80/20 steps in the right direction

Most people aren't pro biohackers, they haven't thought twice about what oil they use
When it comes to health, you must be skeptical. Do your own research. Conduct n=1 on yourself and see how you feel.

Don't Trust, Verify. (including me)

The Rest Is Up To You...

SEED OILS AND YOUR MITOCHONDRIA

How eating seed oils break your most important cellular machinery...

Thread 🧵
It may appear simplistic to blame seed oils for every modern chronic disease...

Obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer's Disease, Cancer, age-related macular degeneration all appear unrelated.
But if we discard the organ-specific disease paradigm and consider whats happening at the level of the cell, things start to make sense.

Recently implemented a strict blue light/circadian protocol on a patient with ocular myasthenia gravis

Still symptomatic despite being highly compliant with strict whole foods, low carb diet (meat-based)

Lots of artificial light exposure however. 1/4
Protocol included

- deliberate AM sun gazing (no glasses)
- fasted cold thermogenesis
- blue blockers inside/during screen time
- full body sun exposure
- strictly eating outside, dinner finished before sunset
- removal of LED bulbs

2/4
One week later... patient's symptoms have disappeared with no need for their acetylcholinesterase inhibitor

Still early days, but I suspect correcting the circadian dysfunction and optimizing mitochondrial function has put them on a path to disease remission

Prescribing insulin for gestational diabetic women and then instructing them to eat carbohydrates 'because they are on insulin' is completely immoral.

Peak Fiat medicine - medicating blood sugar while ignoring #RootCauses

- Thread
Fiat medicine Gestational Diabetes workflow
- dx diabetes in pregnancy, worsening blood glucose control
- prescribed insulin
- prescribed regular carbs 'because now on insulin'
- deals with injections, risk of hypos, blood glucose anxiety, escalating insulin doses, etc
- no CGM
No explanation of concept insulin resistance vs insulin deficiency

Solution to insulin deficiency = insulin replacement

Solution to insulin resistance = carbohydrate, sugar, seed oil restriction + exercise

"Our results suggest that exposure to some phthalates may impair ovarian function and increase the odds of premature ovarian failure in women"

Ladies, avoid exposure to phthalates to preserve your eggs and prolong your fertility

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31678849/
Endocrine disruption caused by Phthalate exposure is also harmful to your unborn baby

It causes 'Phthalate Syndrome' of reduced ano-genital distance and reduced adult fertility in male babies

See the work of @DrShannaSwan
Low molecular weight phthalates = used as solvents in perfumes, cosmetics (fragrance stabilizers), varnishes, coatings

High molecular weight phthalates = used as plasticizers in flexible plastics including PVC, food covering, medical devices

What is #RootCauseMedicine?

@Meta_Trav provides an answer through his concept of the "Meta"

As I have previously said, the key to optimal health is optimizing and correcting for mismatch between our (toxic) environment and our evolved evolutionary niche.

Same idea.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to hide the fact that Western governments vaccine-only strategy and prohibition on use of certain re-purposed drugs for COVID is simply strong-arm enforcement of Big Pharma's corporate profit agenda.
A highly effective, cheap, re-purposed drug used in early outpatient treatment renders the entire stack of Pharma's proprietary antivirals + vaccines obsolete, unsafe and inappropriate.

The Uttar Pradesh data is telling us just that.
Read it for yourself. This isn't theoretical.

An entire Indian state with a population of 200 million people has literally crushed this virus with only 14% double-dosed vaccination coverage.
