DERRICK EVANS: woman says that over the next six years, the US Department of Defense is looking for 600,000 welders & electricians just to maintain our military equipment.

SAMA HOOLE: Cashews are never sold raw. Because raw cashews contain urushiol. The same toxin as poison ivy. They must be heated to destroy it. "Raw" cashews in stores are steamed

Incidentally, the Sydney Diet Heart Study was actually conducted in the 1960s. The findings were suppressed, then finally resurrected in 2013. An understandable reaction when your study delivers the complete opposite result to the one you’re spent millions seeking out.

This wasn’t the only long-lost seed oil study that reappeared with undesirable outcomes. The Minnesota Coronary Experiment, which ran between 1968 and 1973, was republished in 2016 with raw data that had been found festering in a box in the far corner of a basement.

The results confirmed that replacing animal fats with seed oils successfully lowered cholesterol by 14%. Unfortunately, the seed oil group also had an 86% greater incidence of heart attacks. A mixed bag.

The evidence doesn’t just show that there isn’t a line of causality between saturated fat and heart disease, it strongly suggests that the replacement of saturated fat with polyunsaturated fats from seed oils has bestowed humanity with a turn for the worse.

Take Israel as a broader example. They are the poster child for the wonderful Mediterranean diet that was piloted by the aforementioned cholesterol crusader Ancel Keys. Their diet is low in total fat, low in saturated fat, and high in seed oils. They also happen to be on par with the USA in obesity.

Yeah, bit what about the hazards of seed oils?  

And it isn’t just a case of high Omega 6. Plenty of other plant foods have high levels of linoleic acid, like nuts and seeds. Even pork and chicken fat is 20-25% Omega 6. While seed oils provide more concentrated amounts, part of the problem lies in the intense processing it takes to extract the oil from its normally unobtainable natural form. The heating by itself ensures that your bottle of organic rapeseed oil is rancid (oxidised) on arrival.
