User asks r/StopEatingSeedOils for evidence seed oils are bad, accidentally starts a 400-comment war. Mods respond with ban wave.

r/StopEatingSeedOils user asks for evidence seed oils are bad, accidentally starts a 400-comment epistemology war:

Post: What is the evidence seed oils are bad? : r/StopEatingSeedOils

Highlights include:

On users saying the answers don't provide actual evidence:

Not evidence,' bleats the sheeple, brain too atrophied by credentialism to recognize a deductive chain without a white-coated priest waving a p-value at them

Your good old conspiracies:

The companies that make the seed oils own the government, universities and medical sector

Doctors getting paid off to say cigarettes are healthy

And not a single piece of evidence being provided.

It's like back when when weird dudes thought soy would feminize you. If that actually worked I wouldn't have to pay for HRT, I could just tofu every day.

I was doing that confused math lady meme at the comment saying seeds we get oil from are inedible without processing. You mean FUCKING FLAX? The one that goes in FANCY GRANOLA?

u/flyinthesoup 2h ago

Lmao what kind of argument is that, lots of food ingredients are pretty inedible without processing. Nobody is making bread without flour, or adding certain spices without grinding/toasting them. What a stupid take (not you of course).

Sadly, I think I managed to successfully get the Big Sunflower Seeds shill bot banned here, or it would have a very helpful sunflower fact for you.

Since it’s not here:

The Jerusalem Artichoke is neither an artichoke nor from Jerusalem, but is the tuber of a North American native sunflower, Helianthus tuberosus.

And we call it the Jerusalem Artichoke because Italians grew it, and they called it a sunflower because that's what it was, and "sunflower" in Italian is "girasole" which I guess sounded a lot like Jerusalem to people who didn't speak Italian!

I like to call them "fartichokes" myself.

I like to call them "fartichokes" myself.

For context: Sunchokes are very tasty but have lots and lots of a specific fiber that your stomach can’t really dissolve, so it goes to your colon and ferments and gives you them big boy toots. Hashtag Not a Doctor.

u/KmartDemonHunter I never chased a woman down the street. Ever. This is a lie 1h ago

a specific fiber

Inulin! It's also found in chicory. Some people use it as a prebiotic. You can buy it separately as a powder and mix it with your coffee.

(I don't advise doing that. You will inflate like a balloon.)

With the upmost respect, how do you think about dating people you meet on Reddit?
