You are 20 years behind unless you are talking about about polyunsaturated vegetable oils. Canola, Soy, Cottonseed, and all other industrial seed oils are toxic trash and should be eliminated from your diet as far as possible. Saturated fat is essential for health. Cholesterol is nutritious. Animal fats are nutritious. Excess sugar and polyunsaturated oils will cause heart disease but not animal fat which is what we have been eating for millions of years. All of that bullshit advice against saturated fat and dietary cholesterol has been completely debunked many years ago. It was fraudulent science.

> polyunsaturated vegetable oils. Canola

Canola is primarily monounsaturated.

> Saturated fat is essential for health.

Saturated fat is literally not essential.

> Cholesterol is nutritious

> All of that bullshit advice against saturated fat and dietary cholesterol has been completely debunked many years ago. It was fraudulent science.

You're spouting dangerous, pseudoscientific nonsense.

> Canola is primarily monounsaturated.

It is 35% polyunsaturated and whatever monounsaturated fat it contains is inferior quality for human needs. Rancid toxic trash.

> You're spouting dangerous, pseudoscientific nonsense.

You're a boomer living 50 years in the past with outdated fraudulent industry "research".

My relatives eat huge amounts of saturated fat and animal products many have lived to 100 years old (not a western diet). We don't have heart disease in my family. I've been mostly animal based for the past 20 years, eating multiple times the recommended daily allowance of saturated fat and cholesterol, and latest blood checks / blood pressure are perfect. Also cut excess sugar/carbs out of my diet 20 years ago. I am living proof for myself. Whenever I eat a meal high in canola oil I instantly feel like absolute shit, but I feel good after eating fatty red meat (burgers only with no fries or sugar drinks). The vegetable oil fries and soft drinks are what kills you. Not the burger.

This is social media health influencer level misinformation on saturated vs unsaturated fats. This is so well studied that you can just bring big meta analyses to the table.

If canola and other scary industrial seed oils are so bad, how come it improves health outcomes especially when swapped to from butter? How come canola has even more impressive nutritional profile than olive oil? How come unsaturated fats improve health outcomes when swapped to from saturated fats?

Here’s a good roundup of the research: https://www.the-nutrivore.com/post/a-comprehensive-rebuttal-...

Industry research is fraud. Fake science for profit.

If you can honestly say that you feel good after eating anything fried in canola oil or soybean oil then I don't know what to tell you. Good luck with that. To me it is blatant garbage. It is disgusting rancid toxic waste. Inedible. I feel good after eating eggs or steak fried in clarified butter and have no cardio health issues whatsoever. Have been eating this way for decades. Blood checks are all good. No issues. None.

Quite literally non of what you say is true.

The state of HN on nutrition discourse is completely screwed.

There is some confusion amd inaccuracy there about the different kinds of fats, but the general theme seems pretty backed up by science
