 this will probably be a thread.  first thing i noticed is after he says " i don't get paid by seed oil industry " ( first video starting at 56 sec ) his voice shakes, because he's lying.  he is a doctor so his entire medical industry is financed by whatever food is predominant on supermarket shelves - which is seed oils.

at 9:15 first video this idiot admits that you can test if the person actually took the seed oil on the trial by measuring fatty acids in their blood, yet he still claims eating seed oil has no effect on your body.  

at 10:03 first video his voice again shakes when he says PUFA is "anti" inflammatory, because he is lying.

i'm going to stop watching here.  he's just showing results of trials.  any trial can be rigged to produce any result the industry pays to get.  it is irrelevant.

empirical ( studies ) is one way to look at a problem - mechanistic is another.

mechanistic is when you ask HOW DOES THE THING WORK ( as opposed to what effects can we measure )

and mechanistically plant based Omega-3 is not active form and only 5% of it converts to active animal for Omega 3 found in Fish and Grass Fed Beef.  so seed oil AT BEST is empty calories and at worst Toxic Omega 6 bomb.

there is no universe in which a sane person would want to consume that trash.
