Message: <blockquote data-quote="AloeSvea" data-source="post: 2711532" data-attributes="member: 150927">Thanks heaps for posting these!I have long been on the side of 'Yes' on the side of ultra processed vegetable oils being a major driver of metabolic disease.Loved the final pars in above:<h3>"FINAL THOUGHTS</h3>There are likely many factors that contribute to today’s chronic disease and obesity epidemic. Sugar, pesticides, plastics, factory farms, refined carbohydrates, gluten, hyper-palatable junk food, iPhones, and television have all been accused of causing obesity and disease. We’re a long way off from being in agreement about the true causes of today’s largest health problems, but the more I study the issue, the more I’m convinced that vegetable oils play a much larger role in the diseases of modernity than most people realize.In a world without vegetable oil, we may be twenty pounds lighter, have half the amount of heart disease and cancer, live longer, think clearer, feel better, and be happier and less depressed.In the long list of things we’ve gotten wrong and need to improve in order to get ourselves out of this chronic disease epidemic, I think reducing vegetable oil consumption is the lead domino."Who knows right now at least, if it's the "lead domino" or an equal front player? (I would tend to go with the latter, but again - who knows right now?)</blockquote>
