And so, of course, that seed oil was going to cause worse health outcomes, but it's not how seed oil is consumed now. And so it's that clever cherry picking of evidence that often supports a lot of the nutribollocks that's out there.

So they're meta-analysis. So we do randomised control trials. So these will be trials where there's always a control arm. We'll randomly allocate some people to an intervention like seed oils and some people to a control. Could be saturated fat, could be beef tallow. That's been done. And then we look at different health outcomes. We follow them over a period of time.

Or it could be that I ask you for a month to have seed oils and then next month have beef tallow, for example. And then we'll look at different health outcomes, compare how you responded to one versus the other. And then what we do as scientists is if there's enough of these clinical trials, these randomized control trials, we put them all together into what's called a meta-analysis.

And we look, what does the meta-analysis show? So, for example, for CEDAWs, there's meta-analysis, for example, of about 42.

Randomized control trials where they compare seed oils to other fats showing consistently that there is no harmful benefit, that actually there's a reduction in cardiovascular disease because the particular fat that's in seed oil has a really potent cholesterol lowering effect. So it's actually beneficial for our health. Yet beef tallow is full of saturated fat.

It's full of palmitic acid, which is a particular type of saturated fat that we know is bad for us. There has been studies, and these studies were done many years ago when beef tallow was actually used, comparing seed oils with beef tallow. Seed oils always came out better. Seed oils always reduced cholesterol compared to beef tallow, reduced inflammation, etc., reduced cardiovascular risk factors.

I am, because I've researched. As a research active scientist, where I've run randomised control trials, and I tell you what, you sweat blood and tears. I love my research, but it's blimmin' hard work doing a clinical trial. You know, getting ethical approval, recruiting people, changing people's diet. Running dietary studies is really hard, because it's not a case of giving them a pill.

If I'm going to give you seed oil, I've got to think, well, how am I going to do that? What am I, instead of what, what am I taking out of your diet to give you that? How am I going to make sure the rest of your diet is controlled?

So once you've run studies yourself and you've sweated that blood and tears, and then you see this Nutribolix, this misinformation out there, it's really bloody frustrating.

But I think yours is more rigorous than most.
