[00:00] When You’re Scared of Fat, You’ll Be Hungry For Processed Foods We are kept on an island of unhealthy seed oils by traumas around saturated fat and cholesterol. Processed foods always have a lot of seed oils in them. Seed oils are truly toxic.
[06:50] The Differences Between Monounsaturated, Saturated, and Polyunsaturated Fats Monounsaturated is the main fatty acid in olive oil. The most common fats in seed oils are polyunsaturated. Saturated fats are the most common fat in coconut oil. It’s also the most prevalent fat in butter. Saturated fats are the most stable and have an antioxidant effect. Polyunsaturated fatty acids oxidize and create oxidative stress.
[12:40] The Metabolic Pathway For How Dietary Linoleic Acid Omega-6 Ends Up In The Membranes and Inner Fat Cells Then it shows up in your intestinal tract where enzymes from your pancreas break apart the fats in there. Most of the fats are in the form of triglycerides. We have to use lipases in our pancreas to break it up. [21:50] How Seed Oils Can Stay In Your Body For Extended Periods of Time Linoleic acid in our
fat cells has a long half-life. Body fat is stuck with us until we use it. If you aren’t metabolically healthy or fit, you shouldn’t do extended fasts because they’re releasing so many pro-inflammatory oils all at once.
[27:35] Should I Avoid Peanut Oil or Eat More Peanut Oil? In fact, peanut oil is actually good because it’s a traditional fat.
[33:15] Why Do Some People Think That Seed Oils Are Good For You? The American Heart Association is the biggest fake news organization out there.
[36:30] Effects of Fatty Acids on Mitochondria: Implications For Cell Death Read the article Effects of Fatty Acids on Mitochondria: Implications For Cell Death: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12206… This study explains why people who have PUFA in their body fat will feel tired when they go on a diet. PUFA is a terrible fuel for your body cells. The mitochondria will stop producing energy when their fuel is PUFA. When people go on a diet, they feel like they can’t do it anymore because they are so tired. Energy loss is a huge part of obesity.
[44:55] Why Ketones Are A Great Energy Source For The Mitochondria Ketones are designed out of your body fat. When you’re burning your body fat, and your liver is healthy, it makes ketones for you. Ketones are a better fuel, and our cells actually work better when they have access to that better fuel. Hearts that have access to ketones can actually pump 30% harder than hearts that don’t. [47:45] The Brain Needs Omega-3 and Omega-6: Here’s What You Need To Know Your brain needs omega-3 and omega-6. However, your brain needs longer omega-3 and omega-6. Only fish and animal products can have long versions of omega-3 and omega-6. Fatty liver is such a devastating disease because it cannot elongate these fatty acids. The ideal Dr. Cate Shanahan diet would be limiting omega 6 foods, especially processed oils. //
