New diet villain just dropped. Believe or disbelieve this specific one, "fat" or even "polyunsaturated fat" increasingly looks like a failure as a natural category. Only finer-grained concepts like "linoleic acid" are useful for carving reality at the joints.
This systematic review and meta-analysis doesn’t seem to indicate that linoleic acid is unusually bad for all-cause mortality or cardiovascular disease events.
And is there another meta-analysis showing the opposite? I kinda just don’t trust those anymore, unless somebody I trust vouches for the meta-analysis
