Podcast Ep. 2: Professor Ameer Taha on Lipid Oxidation, Linoleic Acid, OXLAMS—Debugging Life Podcast

 

I interview Prof. Ameer Taha of U.C. Davis on linoleic acid, lipid peroxidation, oxLAMs, and neurodegeneration.

A great discussion going over some of the seminal research he has done during his career. 

We also discuss his surprising dream research project, one I think would yield major benefits if he were able to pursue it...

Interview: "The Research on Vegetable Oils and Inflammation, Cholesterol, Chronic Diseases, and More (Part 2)"—The Natural State with Dr. Anthony Gustin

Dr. Anthony Gustin's Natural State Podcast

Here is part 2 of this interview:

"The Science Behind Vegetable Oils and Why They’re Terrible For You"—The Natural State with Dr. Anthony Gustin

In this continuation of the interview, we: 

...Dive deeper into the science to see what the research shows when it comes to vegetable oils and inflammation, cholesterol, chronic diseases, and more....

Here’s a look at some of the overarching topics we cover in this episode:

• Does consuming seed oils really lead to increased inflammation?
• What trials on linoleic acid consumption and migraines showed
• Aren’t seed oils better for your cholesterol?
• What the Lyon Diet Heart study discovered as the most successful heart disease prevention strategy
• How are seed oils connected to heart disease?
• What forced the US to ban trans fats and is there any chance it can happen with seed oils next?
• Is linoleic acid essential if it’s found naturally in foods?
• How Tucker thinks we should approach seed oils
• How seed oils sneak into the meat you’re eating
• What Dr. Cate Shanahan believes we could have done differently with the Covid-19 pandemic and Tucker’s thoughts on this
