[QUOTE="potshot, post: 2722109, member: 204966"] The elephant in the room is seed oils like sunflower oil, rapeseed oil and all vegetables oils. Our bodies can process and use saturated fat as fuel. When it comes to seed oils our bodies can't process and burn them as fuel and the high levels of omega 6 causes inflammation in the blood vessels and throughout the body. The seed oils have have 25 times the amount omega 6 than we need as an essential fatty acid. Plenty of research out there. The elephant in the room fructose. Our bodies can't burn fructose and it has to be processed by the liver which breaks it down the same way it breaks down alcohol. It will store the broken down fructose as fat in the liver. The breakdown of fructose leads to NAFLD it raises uric acid levels that causes more damage. [/QUOTE]
