>People like to shit on “mechanistic speculation” but if you don’t have a mechanism, you don’t understand it.

I'd say that that is irrelevant, if you get the outcome you want.

Cutting out seed oils seems to cure modern diseases. Who cares why?

This "don't eat processed food" spiel is cute though. Seed oils are about the most processed food one can acquire and would be the first thing to cut. So this guy (I forgot his name already) is indirectly saying to cut out seed oils.

The problem is, now it works until it doesn't and then you're lost.

This happened to me: I thought I knew "keto" was the magic answer. And then I gained 100lbs back on keto.

If we cut out seed oils in some current understanding, and then something else makes it into the food supply or whatever that we somehow don't consider seed oils (let's say people begin frying fries in fish oil lol) we have to start over..
