It does become a nuanced and curious area when we entertain the fact that, yeah, like if you look at, say, the omega-6 to omega-3 balance in the body, it does matter. So, you know, having a higher omega-6 and lower omega-3 can lead to a pro-inflammatory state.

Again, and this is where I might lose some people, but I think it's an important point to note what we can actually study in humans, because... The fact of the matter is you can't shift omega-6 to 3 ratio in humans without shifting other components of the diet because they're essential fatty acids.

So again, you need to turn to like animal models and you can show by actually genetically manipulating them that yeah, higher omega-6 to 3 ratio can be more pro-inflammatory. It'd lead one to speculate that in theory, you could get like an omega-6 to 3 imbalance by just like over consuming omega-6 fat in theory. I just think it'd probably be hard to do in practice.

Like I think it'd be hard to be like, I'm going to binge eat raw walnuts and it'll lead to negative health effects. And we don't have data to say that. Whereas I don't see a negative effect of saying, you know, aspartame may cause problems because if you kick that coke, what do you do?

I do see a negative potential effect of saying, like, you need to get rid of all omega-6 in the diet because then people are cutting out whole foods that could be healthy, like walnuts, tahini, or even in some cases, this is going to sound crazy, but I hear it, fatty fish. Because fatty fish is high in polyunsaturated fats, which are fragile. So you even get creeped there.

I had one person telling me that sardines were unhealthy because they're high in polyunsaturated fat, because they're high in omega-3. And they were truly convinced that a Quest bar was healthier and got very upset when I told them, no, I disagree with you. That aside, you can see where the logic creep goes.

So at a very high level, because I realize we don't have two hours to delve into just one topic, I'd say define what you're talking about when you say seed oils. If we're talking about industrialized processed oils, that's a different thing than saying anything rich in omega-6. And what I'd say is in theory, having a very high omega-6 diet
