 A few other points I'd like the mention.....

1) it does not take 5 years to eliminate omega 6's! we actually need the right amount of them as it's an essential fat. It takes around 120 days and very easily to achieve without the need to cutting 100% and stressing yourself out that eating something containing it will kill you! fucking alarmists 😂

2) Someone said if you eat seed oils you'll shorten your life drastically and health will decline fast!......wrong! systemic inflammation takes decades compounding. Yes it may over a very long period of time be a contributitor to heart disease but you won't curl up in a ball from eating a slice of toast in the short term. 

Key things for people that should take from the seed oil cultists that can't even cite any papers from their claims is to yes for sure limit over consuption of foods heavy in omega 6's, actively intake adequate omega 3 depending on body weight and current medical conditions (consult medical doctor if on blood thinning medication)

Apply some common sense to this too that most of these foods are hyper palletable garbage so to just randomly pick out the one ingredient is foolish as we must take personal responsibility for what and how much we shove down our throats.
