Seed-oil deep dive for regular folks: facts and fiction.
You’ve heard "industrial seed oils cause inflammation."
Let’s walk through all the evidence in plain English.
What’s solid, what's iffier, and how to use that knowledge in your own kitchen. 🧵👇
Myth
The idea: "Vegetable oils like soybean, canola, sunflower make your body 'inflamed' and hurt your heart."
The reality: When scientists measure inflammation in people, the oil swap usually lowers it or leaves it unchanged.
This isn't just one or two studies or even dozens.
Big-picture review
A 2023 "umbrella" review mashed together over 200 studies on vegetable oils.
Result: most health outcomes--heart disease, stroke, diabetes risk, inflammation markers--were neutral or better when people used these oils instead of hard animal fats. [1]
I just used it to automate research, content, build apps, do code reviews and more.
Here are 10 ways to use Grok 4 and automate your tedious work:
1. Build complete websites / apps
Here's the prompt I used:
"Name Your Applet:
Describe What Your App Does:
You are an expert full-stack web developer specializing in JavaScript and CSS/HTML applet development and design. Your task is to develop expert-level code for this project.
Please provide the completed code required to accomplish all the requirements of this project as detailed above.
Make sure your code is clean and includes concise and professional code comment documentation"
2. Market research
Here's the prompt I used for market research automation:
"You are a world-class industry analyst with expertise in market research, competitive intelligence, and strategic forecasting.
Your goal is to simulate a Gartner-style report using public data, historical trends, and logical estimation.
For each request:
• Generate clear, structured insights based on known market signals.
• Build data-backed forecasts using assumptions (state them).
• Identify top vendors and categorize them by niche, scale, or innovation.
• Highlight risks, emerging players, and future trends.
Be analytical, not vague. Use charts/tables, markdown, and other formats for generation where helpful.
I don't think the left realizes the degree to which giving puberty blockers and sex-changes to kids who wanted to change genders was a test of moral and intellectual integrity, and that test utterly destroyed the moral and intellectual credibility of everyone who failed it.
The people who went along with gender ideology didn't just end up on the wrong side of public opinion, they demonstrated for the whole world that they had no intellectual integrity, moral fortitude, and no ability to stand up for the truth or think for themselves.
The people who went along with gender ideology showed that they have no intellectual or moral anchors of any kind, and that they will pretend to believe anything and go along with any ideology in order to preserve their social standing and the esteem of their colleagues.
Nicole Shanahan just EXPOSED decades of secret geoengineering projects—and the terrible harm they have caused.
This isn’t just a health crisis.
It’s a Constitutional crisis.
Here’s everything she exposed—and why she believes we need a Constitutional Amendment to end it:🧵
You’ll want to bookmark this thread.
Nicole Shanahan just published one of the most comprehensive expositions on the truth about geoengineering yet:🧵
Today, Nicole Shanahan revealed that she is in contact with a government whistleblower who wants to expose the truth about geoengineering.
“They’ve given me information that could shed real light on these programs, who’s behind them, where the funding is coming from, and what we can do to stop them.”
As Hungary's Viktor Orban sucks up to Putin and accuses Ukraine of "choos[ing] war", a reminder, again, that Orban, Netanyahu, and Trump all owe their careers to the same US political operative - Arthur Finkelstein. Arguably the man most responsible for our dystopian times. 1/
Arthur Finkelstein was the dark master of the negative campaign, orchestrating facts-free and values-free assaults on political opponents. A gay, Jewish man who specialized in electing anti-gay homophobes. 2/
No one's explained yet if Finkelstein had a direct tie to Russia, but Finkelstein created Putin's bootlicker Orban, and Finkelstein is the one who brought Paul Manafort to Trump out of Ukraine where he was busy installing pro-Russia politicians. 3/
The UFW can confirm farm workers were critically injured yesterday during chaotic raids in Ventura County, CA. Other workers, including US citizens, remain unaccounted for.
UFW staff is on the ground supporting impacted families.
The UFW can confirm farm workers were critically injured yesterday during chaotic raids in Ventura County, California. Others, including US citizens remain totally unaccounted for. 3/
I told you that the SCOTUS's ban on national injunctions would supersize Trump's lawlessness.
Well, it's starting.
1/ Let me break some news for you: Trump is stealing money to build facilities like Alligator Alcatraz - from an account earmarked for the OPPOSITE of detention.
2/ I'm the top Democrat on the sub-committee that writes the budget for DHS. I know that budget.
Since 2019, the budget always includes a line item for detention beds AND a line item for the Shelter and Services Program ("SSP"). They are very different programs.
3/ The detention account funds secure beds for immigrants who are detained. But many asylum applicants are released into the U.S. as their cases are processed.
SSP provides small grants to help local communities provide shelter or services to those people.
We have received a MAJOR SCOOP from a former Turning Point USA insider that Candace Owens was introduced to her husband George Farmer by Allie Hadley, wife of William Lee Hadley, who was a longtime friend of CIA Director Porter Goss!
In 2018, while working at Turning Point, Owens met Parler CEO and Turning Point UK Chairman George Farmer, the son of House of Lords life peer Michael Farmer, who proposed to her in a very strange way, over Facetime 17 days after being introduced to each other by Allie Hanley.
Allie Hanley is the husband of William Lee Hanley, who was the chair of the State Department Propaganda outlet The Corporation for Public Broadcasting under Reagan. Hanley was very close friends with former CIA Director Porter Goss and donated to him during the Bush campaign.
This week, ICE illegally denied me entry into a processing facility in my district, and today, they released a statement saying I “[gave] the appearance of a political stunt intended to generate publicity rather than pursue genuine oversight.”
I have some thoughts.🧵
On Tuesday morning, my staff notified ICE of my intention to conduct oversight at the Montana Ave facility the next day.
This is the process we have gone through innumerable times since I was elected, through both the Trump and Biden admins, including less than a month ago.
ICE responded informing me and my staff about their new procedures - we informed them of the law.
I’ve reviewed the texts and emails the whistleblower supplied to back up his comprehensive report and warning about Trump administration efforts to defy and ignore court orders.
The texts and emails absolutely corroborate the whistleblower report, quite exactly. The only lie they reveal is AG Bondi lying that his testimony is “false.” Clearly, it is precisely detailed and beautifully corroborated. Here are some high points.
The exhibits reveal massive dysfunction as the line attorneys try to prepare for imminent court proceedings while being stonewalled and misled by higher-ups at DOJ and DHS, and kept in the dark about what was really happening.
1) I’m not sure about Kash leaving, but the report that Dan Bongino is done cleaning up after Pam Bondi is 100% accurate, and comes after months of frustration. I have this on airtight multiple sourcing.
And Dan isn’t the only one who feels that way…
2/ Both Kash and Dan, for months, have tried to get Pam to understand the importance of full transparency in her department, especially on the Epstein stuff.
For reasons becoming apparent, this has fallen on deaf ears…
3/ Pam has been giving multiple avenues to pursue, and infinite examples of people who need to be brought in front of a special counsel, but she has refused to budge every time.
There’s an interesting NY vs FL thing going on here, too.
