Does Linoleic Acid Induce Obesity? Part 2—RYGB and HNE

Part 2: Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and 4-Hydroxynonenal

Part 1 here.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)

After Roux-en-Y bypass surgery, people show "a marked reduction of the hedonic drive to consume palatable food and beneficial changes in dietary habits." RYGB excludes from food contact the primary part of the small intestine that mediates food reward.https://t.co/VpB2lbOLDZ

Does Linoleic Acid Induce Obesity? Part 1

[P.S. Part 2: Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and 4-Hydroxynonenal]

Introduction

OK folks, into the wayback machine.

In 2010 I stopped eating seed oils, and saw a chronic inflammatory bowel disease resolve in days:

“So a few months ago, I stopped eating industrial seed oils (veggie oils). In two days the diarrhea stopped. Eat the oils, it started again. I no longer craved starch or sugar, so I didn't eat any wheat for a week, without meaning to….  So now I could turn the symptoms of the last 16 years on or off, based on eating veggie oils or wheat. Wow!” (Goodrich, 2010)
