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 carnivoremd.com/how-seed-oils-…
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.
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)

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
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.
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.
