What you find with paleo is that people lower their bad cholesterol and raise their good cholesterol. That's good. They lower the levels of triglycerides in their body. That's good. They eat way less trans fats and seed oils. That's good. Trans fats and triglycerides are pretty conclusively bad for you. Seed oils, there's some controversy about this.

It's not so much that, though I think that's like not a bad place to start thinking about it. A lot of the stuff is used in industrial processing originally, which again is so what? That doesn't make it bad for you. But yeah, I mean, it's kind of not a bad place to enter that. Vice President J.D. Vance will not eat seed oils and neither will I. My girlfriend is Jewish.

She picked up a thing of vegetable oil to cook with. And I told her I was as opposed to this as she would be if I brought lard into our house. So what did she do? Did she respond well to that? She put it back and got coconut oil just to like explain to her, do not bring this home. There's a lot of stuff I think is gross, but like seed oils, like, no, do not bring seed oils into our home.

Look, that may be it, but I'm always skeptical when the basis for something is like, it's not natural. We haven't evolved to eat this. It's like, this is ridiculous. The problem with seed oils, as I understand it, is that there are endocrine disruptors, at least when they're heated, which means it messes up your hormonal system. And do I think that's like the thing that makes Americans so fat?

Yeah, I'm not on any fad diets, but I am pretty mindful about what I eat, and seed oils are like a no. Absolutely not. I paid $13 for a jar of mayonnaise. I will not eat seed oils.
