Seed oils are often high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can cause inflammation due to their imbalance with omega-3s in our diets.

The production of seed oils typically involves industrial processes that oxidize them and introduce harmful chemicals, making them less desirable for consumption.

I prefer whole food fats like olive oil, butter, and avocados over seed oils, as they are less processed and healthier options.

In a study on bread consumption, increasing the amount of bread in participants' diets did not lead to significant changes in their microbiomes, indicating that individual microbiome composition plays a crucial role in dietary effects.

The shift away from fat consumption towards more carbohydrates coincided with the rise of obesity and diabetes, suggesting a potential link between these dietary changes and health issues.

Investigator bias can influence study outcomes, as researchers may design studies that favor their preferred dietary approach.

Research shows a direct linear relationship between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and worsening mental health, with significant differences in health outcomes.

In the twin study, participants were randomized into vegan and omnivorous diets, and while the vegans lost more weight and lowered their LDL cholesterol, the adherence to the diet was a significant concern.

Vegan diets can outperform omnivorous diets in certain studies, particularly in terms of health outcomes.
