The Most Dangerous Nutrition Trends / Fads?
First - just started listening last week, have listened to probably a dozen episodes, loving it so far. The most sensible and thorough "deep dive" nutrition podcast I've encountered, so thanks very much. So here's a big one for you - what do you think are the two or three most dangerous nutrition trends / fads in the world today? By "dangerous", I *think* I mean those most likely to cause significant negative health outcomes for the largest number of people. Or, alternately, you could interpret this as the fads that are the most unhealthful in absolute terms, the ones that are most likely to result in the most severe negative health outcomes for those who have adopted them. I'm good either way, whichever (or both!) you think is most relevant, interesting, and important in the grand scheme of things. Thanks again, and please keep up the good work! Mike p.s. And thanks for the prompt response to my previous question, I listened to that episode and found it helpful.
Seed Oils
Sorry if you've covered this before (I'm new to the podcast), but what are your thoughts on the "seed oils as the One True Cause of all human suffering" thing, à la Cate Shanahan, Chris Knobbe, etc.? Seems like a lot of mechanistic speculation with little to no evidence around human outcomes, with some abuse of apparent correlation thrown in for good measure, but I'd love to hear your take. Thanks!
