assertion
Analysis v1
Our bodies aren't built to handle lots of the kind of oil made from seeds, because our ancestors didn't eat much of it.
Scientific Claim
Humans are not evolutionarily adapted to consume high quantities of polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from industrial seed oils.
Original Statement
“This oil is the lowest quality type of fat you can eat. It's largely polyunsaturated fat, a type of fat that humans have not historically eaten in large quantities. As a result, we aren't biologically adapted to consume this fat in large quantities.”
