plus: high-PUFA oils (seed / vegetable oils) being labelled as "heart-healthy"

This thread makes me wonder how many HNers base their nutrition off a quack like Paul Saladino.

A rebuttal to the seed oil sophistry that seems to have managed to permeate every diet camp: https://www.the-nutrivore.com/post/a-comprehensive-rebuttal-...

Everyone is so desperate to have a counternarrative take on nutrition that they'll believe whatever fad that passes through the internet.

The same goes with saturated fat = healthy broscience and the dismissal of the lipid hypothesis.

Protip: if you're ever looking for some downvotes when bringing up the dangers of PUFAs, recommend that people read the book Deep Nutrition.

There seems to be an animalistic hatred toward a book that really sheds the light on why eating industrial waste is not the healthiest thing in the world.

If people get angry and upset at a topic, I find it usually requires to be brought into the limelight.
