The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
129. Paul Saladino, MD: Why 'Heart-Healthy' Seed Oils Are Actually Poison

So most of it is coming from seed oils and it's coming from, and this also happens with our eggs, Gary, too, which is why it's important to eat chickens or eggs from chickens that are eating the right things, right? So if chickens are eating better, there's less linoleic acid in their eggs. But if chickens are eating corn and soy, they pour more linoleic acid into their eggs.

And so there was recently an article that came out about this. The amount of linoleic acid in egg yolks is higher than it probably should be historically. So the quality of what your chickens is eating, and I don't want this, at this point I'll pause and say, I don't want this to be overwhelming for people. Knowledge is power, know better, do better.

I'm just offering information that anyone listening to this can use wherever they are in their health journey. If your first step is getting rid of seed oils, get rid of seed oils. Keep eating pork, keep eating chicken, keep eating your eggs. Don't worry about that yet. That's step three. That's step three, but I'm giving you all the steps, right?

So that's where all of the linoleic acid is coming from in our diets. And it's kind of tough because when you think about it, we're getting it from all angles. If the chickens that you're eating are fed corn and soy, and the pork you're eating is fed corn and soy, and the eggs are coming from chickens that are fed corn and soy, and you're eating sweet oils.

Yeah, yeah. Then is it any wonder? Think about all of these inputs in our diets. And I'll go back to this phrase, evolutionarily inappropriate consumption of excess amounts of linoleic acid in our diet. And I think it's a real problem for humans. And again, it happens at every level. The good news here is that beef is a ruminant, right?

Beef, so cows, bison, lamb, elk, deer, these animals do not bioaccumulate linoleic acid. They have the biochemical machinery to saturate polyunsaturated fatty acids. We do not. So if a cow is fed grains, it has essentially the same amount of linoleic acid in its fat as a cow that's fed grass. I think a cow is better when it's fed grass

But a grain-fed cow does not have the same magnification of linoleic acid in its tissue as a chicken or a pig because they're monogastric. Or a human, right? Not that we're eating humans, but humans store this. So we have the same issue. There's evidence from, I guess, archaeology or anthropology that
