Seed Oils (Linoleic Acid) and Susceptibility to Burning

This is one of my favorite twitter threads, but twitter is a strange, fluid place, so I thought I would memorialize it here for posterity.

I present the thread first as a narrative; the links to the tweets will appear below, along with the author's information.
Ok, time for a MIND. BLOWN. thread

I was cooking myself lunch just now. I wanted something quick and practical (and meat is always on the menu) so I went for steak and butter on steel pan. About a pound of it.

I'm not a frequent cook so sometimes I mess things up a little.

  1. It's worked for me all these years, and I found it as striking as Guilherme did.
    I went from having regular blisters to it being a very rare occurrence, and no longer as painful. What I get now instead is, if anything a [patch of dead skin that disappears overnight. Ditto with tears and scratches of my hands, and those becoming inflamed.
    I can pour just-boiled water into a hot water bottle, for example, without being overly anxious about the blow back on my hands, and resist oil splashes and accidental contacts with the fittings inside a 200C oven, unless I hold on to them. Even then, sometimes.
    This should not be impossible to test scientifically.
