If it’s got a claim on the label about polyunsaturates, it is not real food. It is an FLS (food-like substance).

My favoite part of this post:

"Stop cooking your food with seed oils, such as sunflower, corn, and soya. Aside from the omega-6 content, the refining process that these oils undergo is diabolical and creates vast amounts of oxidising free radicals."

Diabolical! I agree

Without a doubt the most over-used Omega-6 PUFA in the US is canola oil. It's the one most often found on the labels of processed food. The promotion of canola oil as healthy (looking at you American Heart Association) and government price controls has impacted farmers. Many would prefer to grow wheat from 100-year old seeds, but the prices are so low (again looking at you USDA) that they cannot afford to. Instead they grow canola, because it allows them to stay in business. We have hopes that RFK Jr. can at least expose this, so people know they are being slowly poisoned.

Meanwhile, over here farmers are hit with so much tax that they can't afford to pass on their farms to their children. Farming's in a bad way on every level.
