Have no clue what this gibberish means but it makes me think this research is sponsored by the Sugar industry.

At a bare minimum it isn't a complete understanding, or else there wouldn't be so many reports of depressive symptoms lessening when people go on ketogenic diets (i.e., nearly all energy coming from dietary fat, and typically mostly animal fat).

Yeah, I can see how lots of saturated fat could cause inflammation related depressive symptoms, which is why the whole Mediterranean thing emphasizes fish and vegetable oils

They fed the rats soybean oil and pig lard which is a higher linoleic acid content animal fat. All in approximately 13-14% linoleic acid makeup. I’ll take their word for it but I would honestly like an independent source to validate that as I’ve seen sources testing modern lard at 20% linoleic acid alone (plus the soybean oil) so I’m not sure how this % is so low on their data sheet.

The soybean oil industry acknowledges that soybean oil causes obesity - and they made a genetically modified soybean oil that causes less obesity than regular soybean oil.

Conversely, full fat dairy products are more protective against obesity when compared to low fat or fat free dairy products
