Like, is this feeding into that whole ceramide pathway that you started to talk about where is visceral fat and is this hypertrophy like swollen fat cell also causing more ceramides to go into your system?

And not to mention with the cytokine signaling, you're talking about now the chronic inflammation.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, there's studies now linking visceral fat to cancer.

Yeah, that's right.

And so it's the brain, the cancer incidence, it's all... Atherosclerosis.

So you talked about genetics and, you know, someone's sex in terms of like male or female and how that affects whether or not they're going to have this, you know, predisposition to forming more fat cells or taking that fat cell and just expanding it.

What other factors play a role?

Because, I mean, you know...

Is there a dietary?

Is there some other factors that are also contributing to that?

Is that dose-dependent?

Like, are you going to get that if you're eating... I don't want people to be scared to eat, like, walnuts...

Is that is that the more because I, you know, I've looked a lot at the literature here.

And I remember I first was I was submitting a paper and I was going off about how terrible omega six high omega six.

And, you know, it wasn't necessarily from seed oil, but it was kind of going that way.

And and a reviewer just kind of just got me hard and I started to really have to look

at this with a different perspective and going to the literature.

And I really was shocked by how much of the literature is showing with these, you know, linoleic acid and even, you know, switching saturated fat with these polyunsaturated fat seed oils were either neutral or beneficial.

with the exception of like maybe one study, but like the bulk of them were not showing that.
