And if you look at hunter-gatherers or indigenous cultures, very small amounts, 1%, 2% of their calories from polyunsaturated fats. Versus 40%. Or 10% to 15% of our calories, and then it increases even from there for us. So average Americans today eat five tablespoons of some combination of seed oils. Five tablespoons. That's hundreds of calories.

So when you have an expeller-pressed oil, now let's be honest. There's this very, very small fraction, probably less than a tenth of a percent of all seed oils are expeller-pressed. Right. You don't have the refining, the bleaching, and the deodorization.

So that's a less oxidized oil, but you still have a very fragile oil that has been stripped from the seed matrix and is going to be susceptible to oxidation. It's less oxidized, but I still think it's an evolutionarily –

inappropriate thing to consume as a human because you're still stuffing your cells with these oxidation prone seed oils and so if we get back to the randomized controlled trials of these 11 trials right the majority of them are flawed, fundamentally flawed because they were done from the 1950s to the 1980s. And we didn't really have a good sense of trans fat in that time.

Trans fat was really only banned from food in what the late 1980s or 1990s. So almost every single one of these trials has trans fats in the control group. And the control group in these randomized control trials is comparing saturated fat rich diets in the control group to polyunsaturated fat-rich diets.

So what do you think happens in a randomized controlled trial if the control group eating saturated fat has significantly more trans fats than the experimental group eating polyunsaturated fats? That's a problem, right? And many of these trials are also multifactorial interventions. Things like...
