INSIGHT

Linoleic Acid's Long Half-Life

  • Linoleic acid from seed oils stays in cell membranes for about six years before most of it is eliminated.
  • This long half-life leads to prolonged inflammation and oxidative stress in the body.
INSIGHT

Seed Oils Damage Mitochondria

  • Linoleic acid in the mitochondrial membrane causes oxidative stress and damages energy production.
  • This forces the body into sugar burning mode, increasing fatigue, brain fog, and insulin issues.
ADVICE

Eliminate Seed Oils, Choose Grass-Fed

  • Stop consuming seed oils and ultra-processed foods.
  • Prioritize grass-fed organic animal products rich in omega-3s and saturated fats to repair cell membranes.
