Ep. 12: Study: What's Worse—Carbs or Seed Oils? Understanding a High-PUFA Diet—with Dr. Brian Kerley and Matt Quinn

Introduction We're trying something a bit different today. Dr. Brian Kerley and I have found a victim, Matt Quinn. Matt's a smart guy but he's not as immersed in these topics as we are, and so he's going to play our straight man, the every-day guy who can hopefully come to easily-digested conclusions about the papers we discuss. In our inaugural episode we discuss "Brief Episode of STZ-Induced Hyperglycemia Produces Cardiac Abnormalities in Rats Fed a Diet Rich in N-6 PUFA". Ghosh, S., Qi, D., An, D., Pulinilkunnil, T., Abrahani, A., Kuo, K.-H., Wambolt, R. B., Allard, M., Innis, S. M., & Rodrigues, B. (2004).

I won't be doing this for most of the studies we discuss, but I figured it was handy to start with one where I had already done some work! What's Worse—Carbs or Seed Oils? Understanding a High-PUFA Diet. tl;dr: The one study I'm aware of that shows conclusively that excess glucose acts as an accelerant for excess omega-6 fat, but it not nearly so harmful without the omega-6, in vivo. https://tuckergoodrich.substack.com/p/whats-worsecarbs-or-seed-oils-understanding If you have any questions about sources for things discussed please ask in the comments.
