He drilled down on a reference in a high-profile cardiology guideline article and discovered that the authors had inverted the research finding in the referenced paper to claim the inverse of what it actually showed.
We discussed this, and then I gave some more context about the matter and one of the authors.

But what can we do about it? Dr. Shchepinov has been researching using deuterium to 'shore up' the PUFAs like those in seed oils to prevent them become toxic metabolites. He's had some interesting successes, and we discuss at length his new book: “Breaking the Chains of Aging”.
Biography: Mikhail Shchepinov trained in Moscow (PhD, Shemyakin-Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, 1994), then moved to Oxford to work on DNA microarray technology, combinatorial chemistry, and oligonucleotide dendrimers. He worked in academia and biotech in Oxford, UK and San Diego, USA, and is affiliated with several universities.
In this video, we talk to a world expert on deuterium and metabolism to see if the idea holds any water.Ep. 23 Debate: Ep 23 Doctors Should Tell Patients that High Linoleic Acid Seed Oils are UnhealthyTucker Goodrich: Debugging Life2024-05-17 | Introduction So apparently there is some demand for discussion/debate on the topic of seed oils and health. Dave Feldman (Ep. 9) had considered doing this at his recent conference, but couldn’t fit in the time. He’s since regained interest in the idea, and reached out to Andreas Eenfeldt and Ted Naiman, who have expressed skepticism. They replied: “We decline as we feel this debate is a distraction. The reason is that we see no good scientific evidence for replacing any source of added pure fat with another. It's not the right question.” Since there’s so much interest, and clearly that opinion is not defensible—probably why they avoided the debate!—Raphael Sirtoli volunteered to take the con side of a debate, topic: “Doctors Should Tell Patients that High Linoleic Acid Seed Oils are Unhealthy” This was a debate proposition that Raphi had suggested recently, and it had also been declined. (More about that in a future episode.) So, here we are. Please enjoy, and as always, post questions or comments in the comments below. The debate on Dave’s YouTube channel is here: youtube.com/live/JDsbpAJ28U4?si=4n7mSt56JiQDXTGN _______________________________________

This has led him into the study of obesity, among other topics, where he has become a recognized expert. Our discussion was prompted by his recent paper, “Total Daily Energy Expenditure Has Declined Over the Past Three Decades Due to Declining Basal Expenditure, Not Reduced Activity Expenditure”, which casts a new light onto the world pandemic of obesity. In addition to discussing a few of the papers that give some background to that one, and his future research plans in light of that paper, we have an enlightening discussion on the potential role of deuterium in obesity and chronic disease. Biography: “John Roger Speakman (born 1958) FRS FRSE FRSB FRSA FMedSci FRSS is a British biologist working at the University of Aberdeen, Institute of Biological and Environmental Sciences, for which he was Director from 2007 to 2011. He leads the University's Energetics Research Group, which is one of the world's leading groups using doubly labeled water (DLW) to investigate energy expenditure and balance in animals. Between 2011-2020, he was a '1000 talents' Professor at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in Beijing, China, where he ran the molecular energetics group. In 2020 he moved to the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shenzhen, China where he works at the Center for Energy Metabolism and Reproduction and Head of the Shenzhen Key laboratory of Metabolic Health.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Speakman _______________________________________

I had been thinking this would be a good idea as well, as it was a bit out of place in that episode, although I am glad Jacob wanted to discuss it. So if you have already listened to ep. 19, this will be redundant. We’ll have a new episode out soon. If you haven’t listened to ep. 19, then this was a discussion that Jacob requested we have about some weaknesses that he perceived in the idea that seed oils are causal in chronic disease. Unfortunately, we only touched the tip of the iceberg, but he brought up a number of excellent points, which are well worth discussing. Enjoy!

The hallmark of type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance.
While many are unable to answer the question of why a formerly rare disease now afflicts the majority of the population, we go over research dating back to 1964 that makes it clear that we have a pretty good idea of what causes insulin resistance.
Scientists can easily induce insulin resistance in humans. How do they do it, and what might it tell us about what has caused our epidemic of diabetes?

This paper is a broad overview of the related disease processes, which we will discuss to further understand how one thing can be driving many different disease processes. “The study of lipid peroxidation (LPO) processes has become a rapidly growing field in medicine and biology, based on increasing evidence that LPO is involved in the development of many chronic diseases, e.g. [references removed] (1) Asthma (2) Atherosclerosis (3) Alzheimer’s disease (4) Rheumatoid arthritis (5) Burn injury (6) Cataractogenesis (7) Diabetes (8) Endotoxin liver injury (9) Multiple sclerosis (10) Myocardial infarction (11) Organ transplantation (12) Parkinson disease (13) Psoriasis (14) Reperfusion injury (15) Stroke (16) Aging “The obvious involvement of LPO processes in the majority of severe diseases stimulated worldwide efforts to elucidate the mechanisms of their generation. “These efforts are expressed in the exploding flood of papers, conference reports, review articles (see above) and books dealing with LPO. This paper is, therefore, not intended to add to these reviews but rather to address aspects previously overlooked: the dominant role of linoleic acid (LA) in LPO and the application of a combination of modern separation and identification techniques to isolate LPO products. Knowledge of these products provides insight into the mechanisms of their generation and offers a better understanding of the diseases in which LPO is involved.” (Spiteller 1998) Guest info Matt Quinn twitter.com/Mqsley https://www.mquinn.online/

J. Hulbert, noted zoologist and author of Omega Balance: Nutritional Power for a Happier, Healthier Life. “In Omega Balance, noted scientist Anthony J. Hulbert explains how the balance between [Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids] in the human food chain has changed over the last half-century and the very serious negative health impacts this imbalance has created. An imbalance of these omega fats contributes to increased rates of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, allergies, asthma, as well as cancer and a variety of other inflammatory diseases. Omega balance is also important for normal brain function, and an imbalance in these fatty acids is associated with depression, mood disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. Hulbert provides extensive information on the omega balance of different foods and discusses fascinating details about human evolution, dietary changes throughout history, the effect of diet on human development and physiological processes, and more. He investigates the paleo diet of our ancestors and describes the dramatic changes that have accompanied the increased ultra-processing of modern foods. Omega Balance is an essential guide to understanding a significant problem in our modern food chain and will make us rethink the food we eat. https://press.jhu.edu/books/title/12823/omega-balance

We discuss the training a physician receives in medical school about nutrition, and how he filled that gap with his own experience and research. And how it impacted his health and his ideas about being a physician. Josh Durham, my personal physician, joins me as co-host today to recount his personal health journey as well and how it changed his practice. (He recently quit his job at a large hospital to go independent!)
Biography of Paul Saladino: I’m a double board certified MD, host of the Fundamental Health podcast, and author of The Carnivore Code and The Carnivore Code Cookbook. I believe in questioning our assumptions about health and nutrition, which makes me controversial in modern medicine. I'm much more interested in optimal health than in dogmatic adherence to a mainstream narrative. I graduated from medical school at the University of Arizona in Tucson, and completed my residency at the University of Washington in Seattle. After residency, I attained a board certification as a Physician Nutrition Specialist. Throughout my medical training, I came to one very saddening conclusion: our Western medical system isn’t helping people lead richer lives. Western medicine fails to treat the root cause of chronic illness, and doctors are only taught to treat symptoms with medications, rather than trying to understand the roots of illness. I firmly believe that nutritional choices lie at the ROOT of so many chronic illnesses that western medicine deems irreversible. And I also believe that most chronic illnesses are preventable AND reversible. paulsaladinomd.co/about _______________________________________ Co-host Joshua Durham, DO: drdurham.org

Twitter: twitter.com/TuckerGoodrichEp. 1: Seed Oil Disrespecter RevealedTucker Goodrich: Debugging Life2022-04-21 | Meet the Seed Oil Disrespecter and his wife, Ashley. We talk about how and why they started doing what they are doing, and what they hope to accomplish, with a focus on how avoiding seed oils affected their family health even after eating a mostly healthy diet for many years.
Back in February, Dr. K, the Seed Oil Disrespecter on Twitter, was contacted by Audrey Carleton, a reporter for the news website VICE. She had some questions about why the seed oil topic had become a 'big thing' in the bitcoin world. He mentioned me as being knowledgeable about the seed oil and health topic, and suggested I reach out to her.
I did, and we had a nice chat, although it probably went on longer than she was expecting. I've often heard it's wise to record conversations with journalists, and we did so via Zoom, to which she agreed.
We had a pleasant enough conversation, and she listened to me at length (~48 minutes).
I'll not editorialize about the many problems with that article, but the major one is they never addressed the research from institutions like the NIH and the AHA showing that there are credible reasons to think that the benefits of seed oils are oversold, and that there are real reasons to fear harmful effects.
"Misinformation is a two-edged sword in the seed oil debate, however. Figureheads like Shanahan, after all, believe that most mainstream dietary guidance around fat consumption is built on lies, the kind that have quietly fueled America’s major health epidemics for decades. Like Bitcoin itself, the anti-seed oil stance reflects a skepticism of authority, one that is often not unfounded in the least but which can quickly snowball, echoed and amplified online."
It's rather routine at this time for journalists to spread misinformation while pretending to be preventing it, and this is a perfect example of that.
So I am presenting here the full discussion I had with VICE, so you can be the judge yourself of the value of what they elected to leave out while claiming that being concerned about seed oils is "misinformation".
Journalists have editors, and many publications have clear—often unadmitted—editorial biases. I have no particular reason to think that Audrey wrote the bias into this story, so I won't blame her for it. I appreciate the time that she took to speak to me.
I do blame VICE, however, which I think is fair. They printed a biased, misleading article, while ignoring that there are valid scientific reasons to think seed oils are problematic.
