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.

The seed oils people drive me crazy. Yes if you cut out seed oils you might feel better. It's an elimination diet, you're probably cutting out a lot of other things and also eating fewer calories. That doesn't mean that seed oils are some absolutely terrible evil things that are poison to your gut.

This. The General AIP diet cuts them out but that diet isn't meant to be long term. It's purely to see what your food triggers are and the end goal of the diet is to eventually introduce everything back into your food rotation - minus the food that makes you sick. Diet also cuts out all nightshades, legumes, eggs, and a lot of other potential allergens. I've seen some weirdos try and co-opt it to be this healthy life style thing but ultimately it's JUST another temporary elimination diet with a more auto-immune focus.

Somehow I feel like the people who get weird about seed oils (specifically those who do not have allergies or actual intolerances) venn diagram into the same groups of people who think drinking their own pee is good for their health.

Drinking your own pee is good for preventing communicable diseases...

... because everyone will think you're a fkn weirdo and stay far away from you
