Adam Ragusea has another opinion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efTBLsv4yYs


Adam is a popular culture podcaster. I watched the video and it's pretty vapid. He cites industry sponsored research, which I do not trust by definition.

The video I linked is a presentation from a brilliant researcher that's spent his life working on the questions about lineolic acid. You should watch the video. It's good.


Fascinating lecture and thought experiment about seed oils as the common denominator in many modern health issues.

It's correlation not causation, but he cites a huge amount of correlation, to me, beyond a reasonable doubt.
