If you have a rice cooker (or not), we always make rice with half white: half brown. Adding quinoa is easy too, and doesn't change the flavor profile (much). But, lentils? Love em, but not for my wok dishes.... #GNM2325 https://t.co/iJaNCbTyW8

I can't overemphasize how bizarre and embarrassing this is for the head of our FDA to be repeating podcaster talking points about seed oils and flagrantly demonstrating that he doesn't know anything about evidence analysis or human nutrient requirements.
Seed oils are there to provide the essential fatty acid linoleic acid. Animal milks have inadequate amounts for humans (while also having multiple other nutritional imbalances). We modify their fats with seed oils to prevent essential fatty acid deficiency in infants. It is that same essential fatty acid, linoleic acid, that influencers claim is causing the supposed inflammation and chronic disease (no good evidence for this). You can't get rid of the seed oils in infant formula without causing a nutrient deficiency. We can talk about recommended mins/maxes but Makary good/bad approach to seed oils, using theoretical concerns about chronic disease in adults to inform infant nutritional recs and fearmongering around industry processing steps to get pure oils reveals a deeply concerning viewpoint from the top of the FDA.
@kevinfolta My favorite apple variety! We have an orchard in NJ that grows them... Several years ago they would mature in October; this past year, early September. We're not quite FL temperature (yet!)
@Evolutionistrue I saw a comment from Colossal saying that they would not try to have the pups breed. I was a bit disappointed, given the instability of transgene expression across generations in vertebrates (unlike plants). Seems like an opportunity missed...
@jonathanstea or... as Bertrand Russell said, “The man who has fed the chicken every day throughout its life at last wrings its neck instead, showing that more refined views as to the uniformity of nature would have been useful to the chicken.”
