    Hi Simon! You're one of my go-to podcasters for fact-based health information. I just finished listening to "Good Energy" by Casey Means. She seems very earnest and genuine. She however has a strong anti-seed oil bias. I'd love you to do a podcast with her. She also doesn't seem too concerned about high LDLs; it's almost impossible to argue with Mendelian randomization analysis that shows high LDL is causative for heart disease... Thanks!

      Yes. Eating seeds gives you a package containing thousands of nutrients and substances. The fat contained in a fresh seed is likely very undamaged. But there are downsides to eating too many seeds.

    Great info on the importance of adding EPA / DHA into our diet. I took a look at the Supplement Facts panel on the OVega-3 product and am not sure that I like the following ingredients - Corn Starch , Glycerin ( from palm oil ) , Sorbitol , Carrageenan, and Caramel coloring. I recall hearing negative comments regarding those substances. I will have to research them , but would be happy to read comments from Simon and others about them.

    Your guest spoke that high levels of omega 6 is associated with better heart health. Can you give some links to citations. In my research i found most research point to the contrary. Also can you clarify if according to you higher omega 6 is only linked to lower ldl marker or actual lower incidence of heart diseases.

Please check other papers also for example Google "Omega-6 vegetable oils as a driver of coronary heart disease: the oxidized linoleic acid hypothesis" James J DiNicolantonio. Anyways, my principal concern is more with the Industrial refining process that uses hexane and high temperature solvents and the transfats. I stick to butter, lard, extra virgin olive oils and lower temperature cooking and feel really good. Sometimes our own bodies can give us much better feedback than all these correlational studies which are often driven by funders agenda. And everytime i taste refined oil my taste buds simply reject it.

      @ViDeTool I've already heard more than my fair share of theories extrapolated from inflamed omnivore studies. I actually have entire videos on this topic as well, even a couple with some of the people in this video that I haven't released. By the way, Herbert Shelton was a boxer too. Life is far more complicated. Vegans living longer makes us vulnerable to getting diseases from other lifestyle behaviors, I'll grant you that. Control for B12 and eat a proper variety of whole Vegan Foods, test if you're worried and take an algae supplement if you think you need to increase your Omega index. Problem solved. And don't worry, taking a B12 supplement is far more natural than trying to get B12 through the blood, guts, and gore of an animal that was likely supplemented. An animal that was likely artificially inseminated into existence. And at the end of the day bacteria synthesized it not the animal. So take the supplement it's a lot more consistent and natural.

    Cutting out seed oils will do you good! Eat whole foods (food with one ingredient). Keep the starchy stuff to a minimum. No sugar, no ultra processed foods. If it can live on a shelf for more than a week, don't eat it. If you're going to eat processed food, make sure you process it yourself if possible.

    I have wondered about arachidonic acid and its inflammatory effects even as pufas are being touted by Simon and others but epidemiological evidence impresses me. Like Simon I would like to know how this makes sense. Perhaps some other yet to be discovered benefits of omega 6? Still would like to know is the method of manufacture ever taken onto account or indeed is there a healthier way to produce pufa/seed oils? Finally, years ago when I first heard of this, I heard epidemiological evidence that higher okega 6 was associated with higher cancers - Israel was used as a an example. Very finally, I heard more recently that the deleterious effects of omega 6 only occurred with inadequate omega 3 so I wonder how the epidemiological studies referred to by your first guest look at that if at all

    I’m yet to find an answer for if eating eggs (arachidonic acid) with fatty fish would affect the Omega 3 level of that menu? Some experts here mention Omega 6 to 3 ratio alright but is that per day or each meal? If anyone could answer, I’d much appreciate it.

    • @ItsJordaninnit
      @ItsJordaninnit 4 месяца назад +1

      Not sure if this fully answers your question…. But from what I’ve read - so long as you’re getting adequate levels of omega 3 - there’s not much point in paying attention to the ratio of omega 3-6…

    • @mico-skywalker
      @mico-skywalker 4 месяца назад

      Thank you for your reply. I guess I should have instead asked, if arachidonic acid has somewhat precedence over Omega-3 in terms of processing (metabolization whatever) by the liver, (like, one of the experts in this video spoke about it saying when dietary arachidonic acid is decreased, EPA levels increase; likewise another said opt for high ALA with lesser linoleic acid content since both usually exist together), would it be better to separate the fish and eggs into different meal timing? This may sound a meaningless search for detail but I can only eat fatty fish in form of a soup where one egg is one the ingredients and I really don't want to supplement; and since I feel like I'm sacrificing my taste buds for health by eating fish lol, I'd rather it worked for its intended purpose :)
      Edit: a better way to ask; would cooking fish with sunflower oil (omega-6) hurt that meal's Omega-3 contribution to the body?
