 What if no one is right? What if our beliefs about what we consume is what decides how it works within us? What if, you think seed oils are bad, then they are bad. If you think the are fine they are fine. That's stupid right? No "scientific basis". How many of those have we flipped throigh, over the years. Just something to consider.  
 I would emplore you not to test that theory with things like arsenic, ricin, and anthrax. No matter what you believe, those poisons will desolve your DNA and kill you. You might want to read some results surrounding certain oil types and mitochondrial function. It might things less ambiguous surrounding cellular effects.

 What is arsenic, ricin, and anthrax? I have never come across those things in my desert wanderings.  
 Row, row, row, your boat... 
 For those who have already died many times, it's not such a big deal. 🤫
