Basically: Polyunsaturated Fats are poisoning your Mitochondria, causing all sorts of metabolic illnesses.

Seed oils seem to be poisonous to humans. However, there is a global Trillion-dollar industry that depends on this not being true...

What could go wrong?

This is interesting. But I'm reserving my judgment about PUFAs.

There's a subreddit, https://www.reddit.com/r/SaturatedFat/. They hate PUFAs, and love saturated fats. But having lurked on that sub for a while, I don't think they've found the magic bullet for weight loss. It's not as if obese people who cut out PUFAs magically go back to a healthy weight.
