"If linoleic acid is a problem, then the following foods are bad for you: wheat, corn, walnuts, soy, sesame seeds, pumkin seeds, rice, pistachios, almonds, canoia oil, commercial chickens, peanuts, ... all of which the fat portion has >20% LA. Even egg yolks are 16%. It is hard for me to believe that the natural foods in that list are causing the metabolic problem."
let's take it one by one.
wheat - mechanically harvested, not "natural" food.
corn - GMO, mechanically harvested
walnuts - seasonal ( fatty acids remain in the body for months )
soy - mechanically harvested
sesame seeds - what percentage of fat do you think your ancestors got from sesame seeds ? i am going to go with zero.
pumpkin seeds - see sesame seeds.
rice - i don't know anybody who worries about fat content of rice.
pistachios - seasonal
almonds - seasonal
canola oil - GMO, mechanically harvested, mechanically processed
commercial chickens - fed a vegetarian grain diet instead of bugs and worms chickens are supposed to eat
peanuts - grow underground. i wonder how many people would dig into the ground to find them.
egg yolks - see chickens
all of your "natural foods" combined would represent maybe 10% of total fat intake in the diet of your ancestors. probably less.
most fat intake in human diet was from grass fed ( wild ) animals.
also THE DOSE MAKES THE POISON
it isn't that eating a walnut will kill you. it's that in a traditional human diet you would have 90% of fat from grass fed animals and maybe 1% from seeds. and in SAD ( standard american diet ) it's 90% from seeds and 1% from grass fed animals.
it's not really controversial.
