In this episode, I discuss the claims made by a defender of Paul Saladino in response to my debunking. I show, again, that seed oils were not originally engine lubricants, while acknowledging that rapeseed oil (a predecessor of canola oil) might have been. I continue pointing out that lard has a much longer history as a machine lubricant than do seed oils. I also point out that many fats and oils are used as machine lubricants. It's not something unique about vegetable oils. I comment that this story has emerged as a kind of rhetorical strategy to trick people into disliking seed oils.Using the work of Michael Ristow, I again dismantle the oxidative stress concept. I acknowledge that oxidative stress exists but I point out that it is simply not a reliable biomarker of health and that sometimes oxidative stress improves health via hormesis.I acknowledge that the research conducted on stearic acid is interesting while also pointing out that mechanistic plausibility does not constitute evidence. I again introduce the idea of mechanistic speculation to shoot down this idea. I point out that Paul constantly uses mechanistic speculation while dramatically overselling it to market himself and his products.===Like, comment, subscribe.For more, find me at:PODCAST The Kevin Bass ShowYOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/user/kbassphiladelphiaWEBSITE http://thedietwars.comTWITTER https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/https://twitter.com/healthmisinfo/INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/kevinnbass/TIKTOK https://tiktok.com/@kevinnbassAnd above all, please donate to support what I do:PATREON https://patreon.com/kevinnbass/DONATE https://thedietwars.com/support-me/
