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
can be bad for you, but I would not actually say one should avoid whole omega-6 food, whole omega-6 rich foods like walnuts, various nuts, cold-pressed canola oil, olive oil is like 14% or something, omega-6, because these foods are generally, I'd say on the whole, pretty healthy. And... It's not a linear relationship.

It's not like if you eat 10 grams of omega-6 and 1 gram of omega-3, the ratio in your body is 10 to 1. It does not work like that. The processing is a lot more complicated. So I eat a decent amount of omega-6, far, far more than omega-3, and I eat a lot of omega-3 too, but it's just way easier to get bulk load omega-6. And my ratio in my cells, if I measure it, is a perfect one-to-one.

And I do not avoid things like walnuts or sesame. I eat them to my heart's content, fiber permitting. And my blood ratios of omega-6 to 3 are actually perfect. One-to-one ratio of omega-6 to 3 and a 17.2% EPA to DHA ratio, which, by the way, is way better than Brian Johnson. He has a table on all his biomarkers that it's like, I'm in the top echelon at 9.98% and I'm reading that.

uh you know there's other voices that are out there not to name any names i think they'd be very shocked to see that their heart is maybe not as healthy as they thought it would be yeah no i mean on brian i'm i'm right now i'm honestly i'm interested to see what uh i don't know if you know what i've learned joseph everett uh i don't know he's a big youtube channel but he's had like a little bit of a spicy confrontation with brian he asked me to be interviewed on his channel so he's gonna be dropping a criticism video which i was interviewed for um

I, the high level Brian is one of my favorite characters in the longevity space. Like truly, we definitely don't eat the same, but I think he, he has a very on the whole, um, open, uh, you know, authentic via humorous persona. And I think he is pretty transparent about his methodology and doesn't mind making a little bit of a joke of himself. I actually, I think it's very endearing.
