This is all seed oil panic not based in real science. Olive oil has less omega 3s than canola oil. Omega 3 vs Omega 6 ratio is not a "key mechanism of action" supported by coherent science. It is instead crank stuff extrapolated wildly from research. Frying potato chips in butter won't make them healtheir.
People do studies on hexane residue in canola oil. We don't find it in our bodies. "This sounds weird to me" is indeed how a lot of this panic works. Vibes.
So do you think the whole understanding of oxidative stress, antioxidants, etc is all crank panic vibes? I thought that that was pretty widely accepted. I realize that the idea that some oils oxidize easier than others and have less antioxidants and thus might cause more oxidative stress is often ignored or dismissed outright without being looked at.
And, what is it then that makes potato chips junk food compared to a baked potato with butter? The potato? The oil? The salt? The frying? The fact that the oil was fried in many times over and not fresh? A combination of these - but which specifically?
Ok. I wouldn't necessarily call it poison, but would say it's qualitatively a new kind of food that was never eaten until the last ~150 years and is a likely contributor to chronic disease.
You called potato chips junk food but seem unwilling to say what about them makes them junk food, compared to, for example, a boiled potato.
I assume junk food means unhealthy and a likely contributor to chronic disease.
