LINOLEIC ACID AND THE BRAIN | STUDY

I have to thank the leaders I have listened to on this topic. Give them a google, Dr. Paul Saladino, Dr. Cate Shanahan, Tucker Goodrich, Tommy Wood. This paper was fascinating and scary all at once. #geteducated #concussion

Taha, A. Y. (2020). Linoleic acid–good or bad for the brain? NPJ science of food, 4(1), 1-6.

Great to see excess linoleic acid being scrutinized!

Nobody studies cold-pressed organic oils, so we really don't know if reported outcomes are due to the oil or processing. There's also dyslipidemia, likely involved in eczema subjects, who may benefit from supplementing Linoleic acid. It's essential for skin integrity among many other things.

Dr Joe Mercola has also done a lot of research on this and is in line with Dr Saladino and others in regards to the toxicity and inflammatory effects of seed oils. (too much linoleic acid?). The best fats to use are animal fats (from healthy free ranged animals, coconut oil which is 80% saturated fat, quality fish oils, and small amounts of high quality, preferably locally sourced ev olive oil.

4:05 it’s interesting how only some things (medical studies) are bound by ethics while other entities (government, food manufacturers) are not

I'm fairly confident this is a major root cause of our chronic disease in society.

Great to see researchers digging into this further.

Sadly it will take a decade or longer for this to reach standard of care.

Is linoleic acid bad as a whole? Or just the ratio of it to others?
You mentioned 2 years for it to leave the body, does it mean if one avoids LA that it takes 2 years for it to start to decrease? Or does it decrease immediately? Which means you'd see a progressive improvement over the course of the years?

Thanks for the video!

this is the hidden elephant at the room. I would add also Dr. Chris Knobbe to the list of seed oils warriors.

Am I in danger? I recently purchased some baby formula, here in Colombia, called Nestogeno (by Nestle)… I know it's for infants but it has a lot of vitamins and minerals so I thought it would be generally healthy for anyone.

My ENT specialist just prescribed me linoleic acid for smell hallucinations. I've had a brain MRI, which only showed a bit of a deviated septum, and did the sleep recorder device thingy to see if I have sleep apnoea, which I don't. Now I'm worried about taking this linoleum acid supplement, which I'm meant to take for four months. I'd rather not have septum surgery if I can avoid it.

There are only 2 essential fatty acids ala Omega3 and la Omega6 which is the linoleic acid you are talking about. Linoleic Acid is very important in the diet and is required for good health. The oils you are talking about are not bad for you because of linoleic acid they are bad because they have been processed by using high heat additives deodorizers extenders etc. making these oils oxidized. Getting linoleic acid omega 6 from whole foods is healthy and good for you and many people are getting confused because there are many especially in the Carnivore World that don’t tell the whole story.

Damn so no coconut oil. Might have to go in on the butter and ghee then

[UpNorthWay]

What do people have to say about health gurus promoting black seed oil as super healthy. It's rich in linoleic acid

[StarvingMyselfToLIFE]

So frustrating how so many get the ratio off 3:1 seems to be widely accepted as optimal. But this is always flipped with some quotingit as O6 :O3 while some others flip it and quote it as O3:O6. I think the proper quote is 3/1, O6:O3 pls correct me if I'm wrong😀

Hello! Would you happen to know if we are safe from linoleic acid when consuming the delicious mixed nut butter from Costco? It is a blend of almond and cashew butter and contains flax, chia, and pumpkin seed!!

*My D3 is with LINOLEIC ACID which I contine to take!*

*The Human Body has GOOD & BAD bacteria to balance, same with other sources that runs our metabolism, so I'm NOT stopping taking my D3 anytime soon!*

[Unsensitive]

I also found the study showing multiple generations of mice fed non Linoleic acid, were perfectly fine.

This makes one question if Linoleic acid is even essential.

It may not be essential at all, despite what we are told, and may in fact be 100% a toxin.

You eat what our hunter gatherer ancestors ate, which was very broad and balanced ( not what our agrarian farmers ate, this was a huge dietary shift and we still suffer the consequences, eg milk and other allegies, not enough time to kill off the "unsucessful new diet " genes. Also now we have the ability to keep these " unsuccessful' genes alive in this new environment. Also keep vit D up, dont eat alot of grains, no processed foods and as much and many naturally grown, naturally stressed plant foods. Food also was seasonal so dont be afraid to fast or have just two meals a day, cant see hunters and gatherers having three meals.. but ??? Thats my best bet. Ageing is another thing probably not meant to live way into 80's so studies on geriatric diet would be interesting. Note also, lots of people living as hunter gatherers were pretty damn slim and did a lot of steady exercise, with possible explosive or more active incidents. I note a huge drop in natural exercize in Australia even from the 50's, now no one walks or carries anymore. I live now in Ukraine and here peopel HAVE to walk a lot lot more and carry more and be far more active... not so much obesity here. Supermarket shelves are very different from Australia.. very. Food does not appear low cal at all, but people are slimmer

I'm in such a dilemma. "Real" Olive Oil should be used in it's natural state, not cooked with and it's
hard to find. These days, more stores are popping up that sell the Real thing without cheap carrier oils,
expensive tho. My dilemma is, what oil to use for cooking. I had a brain stroke and must avoid saturated
fats. I just tried KETO for the 3rd time and I suffer tremendously with brain stooper/fog. Very scary. So
what type of fat can we use for cooking if Real Olive Oil is to delicate for cooking and we can't eat saturated
fats in abundance?

What is your opinion on nuts? Walnuts and pecans especially have such a large amount of linoleum acid, should they be eliminated completely?
