@SeedOilDsrspctr I avoid all refined oil. Grains are tempered ( germinated) and fresh home milled. I make high extraction pastry flour + super fine bread flour. We eat lots of beef, butter, cookies, bread, veggies, cinnamon rolls, home made gram crackers,+ home made bone broth. OCD omnivore.

I’m at the point where I don’t believe any of these studies where people “didn’t eat seed oils”.
So, they went to zero restaurants? Ate basically no food from packages? Never had salad dressing or used sauces?
The only people NOT eating seed oils are those who are VERY specifically altering their lives in drastic ways, and people with crippling OCD and they only eat boiled cabbage or something. (Rare)

@SamaHoole @JIX5A It's best to avoid refined bleached deodorized oils including avocado oil. They're often contaminated as a result of low quality inputs + processing steps required for clean up.
Legit unrefined avocado oil is usually rancid. --According to UC Davis

India used to cook in ghee. Clarified butter, rendered slowly, shelf-stable, rich in fat-soluble vitamins and butyrate, with a smoke point suitable for the high-heat cooking that Indian cuisine requires.
Ghee was Ayurvedic medicine. Ghee was considered sacred. Ghee was the cooking fat of a civilisation.
Then, in the latter half of the 20th century, two things happened simultaneously: the global campaign against saturated fat reached India, and the seed oil industry, particularly soybean and sunflower oil, scaled aggressively into the Indian market.
Ghee was repositioned as unhealthy, old-fashioned, and associated with a rural past the modernising middle class was moving away from. Seed oil was modern. Scientific. Heart-healthy. The cardiologists said so.
India is now the world's largest consumer of seed oils. Ghee consumption has fallen dramatically across large portions of the population, particularly in urban and middle-class households.
The cardiovascular disease rates have risen in lockstep with the oil transition.
The ghee is still being blamed.
The sunflower oil is still being recommended.
In India.
In 2026.

India is frequently presented as evidence that vegetarianism works. A country of 1.4 billion people, with a large vegetarian population, a tradition of plant-based eating stretching back millennia, and, the implication runs, a health profile to match. Let's look at the health profile. India has the highest number of diabetics of any country on Earth: approximately 100 million diagnosed, with estimates suggesting a further 130 million in the pre-diabetic range. This is a population where type 2 diabetes is not a disease of the old or the obese in the Western sense: it strikes Indians at lower BMIs, at younger ages, and with more aggressive metabolic consequences than in comparable Western populations. India has among the highest rates of cardiovascular disease in the world, again emerging at younger ages and lower body weights than typically seen elsewhere. India has significant rates of micronutrient deficiency: B12, iron, zinc, vitamin D, the precise nutrients found most abundantly in animal foods. India also has the highest consumption of seed oils per capita of any major nation. It is the world's largest consumer of refined vegetable oils, predominantly soybean and sunflower. The vegetarian diet is the mascot. The seed oil is doing the damage. Nobody is talking about the seed oil.

@ApoDudz I was hospitalized with hyponatremia. I give a lot of credit to Dr. James's for my path back to wellness. As stated before, I'm off all meds primary care Doctor approved. Doc. still can't figure out how I got my TRIG=51 eating butter beef & grains. (No seed oil). @drjamesdinic

Truthfully, it was more of a joke than anything, particularly given I’m a pharmacist (we call ourselves doctors 🤣 as do dentists and some other HCP, but I think it just serves to confuse 😝) but JD is PharmD, not PhD afaik.
But to answer your question, I have not…not bc I don’t want to…but I have limited bandwidth - I hope you enjoyed your dinner!

@robertlufkinmd The seed oil industry takes the blame (obesity and fatty liver), no worries, new GMO soy oil is less obesogenic. isaaa.org/kc/cropbiotech… @exfatloss

@TuckerGoodrich Specific research paper referenced above.

@ApoDudz "GM Soybean Oil Causes Less Obesity and Insulin Resistance" --Plenish® (the GM low-linoleic-acid soybean oil from DuPont) isaaa.org/kc/cropbiotech…
English
"They found that olive oil produced identical effects as Plenish® - more obesity than coconut oil, although less than conventional soybean oil - and very fatty livers, which was surprising as olive oil is typically considered to be the healthiest of all the vegetable oils. "Plenish®, which has a fatty acid composition similar to olive oil, induced hepatomegaly, or enlarged livers, and liver dysfunction, just like olive oil," said Poonamjot Deol, co-first author of the research paper."
English
The most boring explanation is obviously wrong.
We've known how to use seed oils to induce obesity since 1949, and physicians have been using them to cause weight gain since 1956.
Dupont recently developed a GMO soybean oil that was lauded in the industry press as being less obesogenic (causing obesity) than standard soybean oil.
This isn't hard, it's basic science, and the fact that seed oils cause obesity is the key fact of the industry that researches obesity.

seed oils are not what made this woman fat. eating too much food and never exercising are what made her fat. The most boring explanation for the obesity epidemic is the likely correct one: people have grown more sedentary and they eat more snacks

GLP-1 agonists:
• Lowers toxic 4-HNE (lipid {linoleic} peroxidation byproduct) in tissues like liver & cartilage, reducing oxidative stress & ferroptosis.
• Reprogrammed chondrocyte metabolism to full oxidative phosphorylation. Enabling cartilage regrowth (seen on MRI, not replicated by pair-feeding/weight loss alone).
• Restore satiety signaling disrupted HFD affected endocannabinoid pathways.
These direct metabolic & protective actions explain improvements in OA, NAFLD, insulin resistance & more—independent of calories. Mechanistic actions that repair & block the harms of so-called high-fat (oxidized deep fryer sludge / PUFA) diets. @exfatloss @TuckerGoodrich

Now what will the pleiotropy zealots say about these medications, @MichaelMindrum? 🤭
I'll tell you what I'd say...
I'd say idk about this genetic instrument satisfying exclusion restriction assumption...with supraphysiological levels induced by medications, compared to receptor expression...among other issues (GTEx tissue, eQTLs pleiotropy, etc) and I'd solicit smarter people than me to tell me what they think...🤣

Fatty liver disease is the most common liver problem worldwide. But do you know where that fat comes from? The mistaken view is that this fat originates from within the liver itself (i.e., the liver creates it). While this accounts for some of the liver fat, the majority comes from fat tissue itself. But! The conditions need to be right--there are two parts of this. The first is the fat cells releasing a high amount of free fatty acids. The second is equally important: insulin levels need to be elevated.
The combination of high insulin and high free fatty acids is a metabolic anomaly--this shouldn't happen. But, it does happen when fat cells becomes insulin resistant with excess growth. In this state, the body has high insulin (always present in insulin resistance), but the too-fat fat cells don't respond to the insulin, and they continue releasing free fatty acids in the midst of the elevated insulin.
So, with fatty liver we shouldn't look at the liver itself as the problem, but rather the misbehaving fat cells.

The concept of minimally processed is a non-sequitur in regards to grains + pulses. Nutritious grains, the backbone of human civilization, require multiple traditional processing steps to maximize nutrition. Commercial minimal processing destroys nutrient availability and maximizes naturally occurring anti-nutrients.
English
@fleroy1974 @DmitriyLeybel @AnechoicMedia_ NOVA 1 grains are not commercially available. Flour, flaked, steel cut, or coarse meal has been steamed + killed dried for the purpose of enzyme inactivation and water activity control. So-Called Nova 1 grains are stripped of nutrients and contaminated with lipid oxidation.

Ultraprocessed food isn't a coherent scientific concept and the attempts to formalize it have been a joke, as with the scale used in this study.
Slice a potato and bake it: Unprocessed (Group 1)
Slice a potato and fry it: "Ultraprocessed" (Group 4)
Nuts: Unprocessed
Nuts, salted: "Processed" (Group 3)
Homogenized, pasteurized milk: Unprocessed
Milk churned with sugar into ice cream: "Processed"
This is a search for a scientific-sounding language to describe why one set of foods is nutritionally suspect, but in moralizing terms of how it was created by an industrial system, rather than characterizing food impacts directly by nutritional content or satiety. They can't just call the system "added sugar" because that's too obvious and not morally satisfying.
The Wall Street Journal@WSJ
People who eat around nine servings a day of ultraprocessed foods like chips and doughnuts have about a 67% higher risk of heart attacks, strokes and dying from heart disease compared with those who eat about one serving a day, according to a new study. 🔗 on.wsj.com/3PgXHeg

@paulsaladinomd Fresh tempered (germinated) home milled high extraction (maximum nutrition) grain is the way.
Commercial flour is intentionally oxidized. For whole wheat, steamed kiln dried germ & bran is added to the oxidized white flour. Poison 4-HNE

For the freshest healthiest nuts, purchase nuts in the fall direct from the farm during harvest season. Pearson Farms in the USA for fresh pecans. Order ahead of the harvest and they will ship them to you as soon as they're ready. Store immediately in the freezer to maintain freshness. For walnuts I purchase the Chandler variety from betterwalnuts.com. for almonds, It's still possible to find vendors selling live sproutable almonds. The live almonds are best stored in the refrigerator.

Most people snacking on nuts are grabbing the wrong ones.
The right nuts don’t just curb hunger, they directly reduce visceral fat and improve insulin sensitivity.

@fleroy1974 @DmitriyLeybel @AnechoicMedia_ I just don't find NOVA very useful. I think it confuses the public. Proper food processing is the key to modern civilization. Our family puts a lot of time and effort into processing the we eat. For the shelf stabilized food, I want to see BHT in the packaging.

@DmitriyLeybel @AnechoicMedia_ People critizing NOVA ("Oh, BuT yOGurt iS alSo pROcEssed" gotcha tactics) usually haven't got the slightest understanding of what it is and how it should be used.

Real bread is bread made from fresh home milled wheat berries. Wheat berries that are first tempered (germinated) + milled fresh prior to use. Tonight's dinner is chicken pot pie. The pie crust is made with fresh milled soft white winter wheat. The filling is made with a high protein homemade chicken stock AKA bone broth.
English
Bread gets a bad reputation.
But real sourdough is very different from most modern bread.
Traditional sourdough is fermented, which helps break down gluten and phytic acid, making the nutrients easier to absorb and often easier to digest.
The key is real fermentation, not commercial “sourdough-flavored” bread.
Look for simple ingredients: Flour, water, salt.
Have you ever tried true sourdough from a local bakery?
