We're not eating more calories. We're just getting fatter. What's going on? We're not converting the food energy to kinetic energy because we're breaking our mitochondria. And there are other things that I believe break mitochondria, but I think seed oils are a major factor. We've never had these in our diets at this level.

And I think that the way out, which you want to talk about, is stopping eating so many polyunsaturated fats, particularly this omega-6 linoleic acid.

So linoleic acid, this 18-carbon polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid, is also the most abundant fatty acid in your LDL. So your LDL is a balloon that carries cholesterol and triglycerides. The most abundant fatty acid in there is linoleic acid. So even if that linoleic acid is not oxidized before it gets in the LDL, the population of the membrane of the LDL changes when you eat more seed oils.

So you make a membrane that is more susceptible to oxidation and you make a membrane that is more difficult for your body to manage in terms of oxidative stress at the level of the LDL. So your actual LDL particle is full of linoleic acid when you're eating French fries and cookies and cakes and crackers and dressings. And if you don't eat those things, your LDL remodels very quickly.

This is really interesting to me because it starts to connect a lot of the dots. So canonical thinking is four years. So, okay, that's a long time. But if someone is listening to this and you are eating seed oils and you just stop today, right? Today is the day before Thanksgiving 2024. If you stop eating seed oils today. We'll give you until today after Thanksgiving.
