AHS21 Presentation: "Why Did We All Get Sick? The Nutritional Transition & How Seed Oils Drove It"

"Why Did We All Get Sick? The Nutritional Transition & How Seed Oils Drove It", my presentation at the 10th Ancestral Health Symposium

I discuss the nutritional transitions that led to man being man, and the chronic diseases that were introduced along the way, along with mechanisms for causation, both known and proposed.



References for Ancestral Health Symposium 2021 talk, "Why Did We All Get Sick?"

This is slide-by-slide, some slides don't have any refs or no new refs, so they are skipped.

Health fallout from a visit to LA and a stay in a hotel: "How Much Seed Oil Is Too Much? Short-term Consequences of Going Off The Wagon"

Notes from the last one I attended, in 2012. (Pictures are mostly missing, as they were links.) 


Thanks to Tess Falor, Naomi Norwood, and of course Aaron Blaisdell and all the rest of the folks that put this fine event together. And to Chris Knobbe for getting me on the program!

  1. Hi, enjoyed your presentation. Listened gornoski and dietdoctor #78 as well.

    You may be interested in 1991 Reaven ^Feasibility of using an oleate-rich diet to reduce the susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein to oxidative modification in humans^.
    And
    ^Oxidized Lipids in the Diet Are a Source of Oxidized Lipid in Chylomicrons of Human Serum^ by Ilona Staprans 1994. Not so long after ^consensus meeting on cholesterol^, so there is obligarory kow-tows to cholesterol theory. The data is fascinating.

    A few gems from the latter; how to make highly oxidised seed oil? Let it stand in the air for 5 weeks. Like any housewife with sunflower oil in kitchen? So the oxidised oil goes to chylomicrons and continues with oxidation while in there (not for long). They only had tbars... they used unheated oil, but the deep fried oils has double that oxidised ratio!

    1. Yes, I've read them both. Interesting stuff, how LA gets oxidized prior to appearing in the blood is a key question. I'm a fan of what is called the postprandial hypothesis, and these are both good bits of evidence in that direction.

    1. I searched Google and got this.
      “What kind of fat is black seed oil?
      The major fatty acids of the oil were linoleic acid (42.76%), oleic acid (16.59%), palmitic acid (8.51%), eicosatrienoic acid (4.71%), eicosapentaenoic acid EPA (5.98%) and docosahexaenoic acid DHA (2.97%).”
