They cause inflammation. Typical history I heard was about rapeseed oil (now referred to as Canola). Was literally poisonous to humans and caused serious maladies. Then they found a way to filter most of the toxin out and sold the public that it was good for their heart (with industry funded studies as I understand it). At least that’s the short version, and I’m sure someone can correct or expand on this and other seed oils.

Agree with this. If my wife was awake she’d be able to expound more deeply on this but it’s a good starting point.

Laughing to myself imagining how most of our responses would be flagged elsewhere. 😆

I take MTC oil in my protein shakes like 3 days a week for 7 years.

It's coconut.

I have an old bottle of Bulletproof MCT I’ll use from time to time. I don’t know how they derive theirs.

It has crazy low viscosity

I know a LOT of canola farmers and at least a few people in the science part of this. I wonder how they respond to this… maybe a good podcast

Why podcasts are great! You can actually explore the details, incentives, and find the nuance. I’d love to hear different views in a respectful discussion. Long format is the only way to go!

I suspect humans have evolved with seed oils, and at low levels we don’t have good clinical research. At the same time we’ve turned it into a common additive, along with gross amounts of sugar, sweeteners, dyes, mold inhibitors, and preservatives.

Erucic acid in tiny amounts may not be dangerous 🤷‍♂️. But most are not ingesting tiny amounts. These additives are in an incredible amount of products.

We all know how 2% yearly inflation is working out for us. We should be looking at our food through a similar lens.

That 2% idea is a great one- I had my eyes opened about things in our food when I spoke with Laszlo Barabasi (godfather of network science) about his work tracking food additives and preservatives

From this day on my wife and I really changed how we prepare food and eat: https://youtu.be/XELyAQ-68KA

I will definitely check this out. Also have your Ep 210 on my Fountain list today after RHR finishes.

It was a good RHR today they were talking a ton about encryption messages. I like how they are now incorporating notes about Nostr updates.

I guess file sharing is coming online.

BTW thanks for the zaps - I spot them over to Fountain and keep streaming and boosting over there- I want Fountain to succeed

I get it. I boost both places. Looking forward to all of it integrating. Wonder how something like that would work between RSS and nostr relays without cannibalizing the model. The Fountain devs have been doing great work.

In case you didnt know, fountain changed their fine print 😔 it is probably for the sustainability of their platform, but earning everyday has stopped. They added promotions and the ability for users to pay listeners for their attention on the home screen, but I havent gotten paid for my #[4] backlog listening for a week 😭. Guess my scheme is up 😂 but fountain is still cool amd making clips is easier even of mine are not heard in the larger community 🤔
