I’m saying the idea that it’s healthiest to avoid virtually any refined oil is mainstream nutritional understanding. Do you dispute this? I’m not making a point about which refined oils/fats are better than others. I haven’t seen anything that has convinced me mainstream nutrition is wrong about that, but I don’t think its particularly important when they can all be avoided.
Typical doctors are not particularly reliable nutritional authorities. They have almost no nutrition training.
MacDonalds fries are clearly very unhealthy regardless of what they’re fried in. Do you have evidence that they’re healthier when fried in beef tallow?
Regardless, the point I was making was that the diets the original commenter mentioned all restrict things that mainstream nutrition already suggests cause health problems.
Refined sugar, refined grains, refined fats, and animal products are all things mainstream nutrition suggests cause health problems. All of the diets listed restrict at least one of those things, so it’s not surprising that people would report temporary improvements in health relative to a diet that doesn’t restrict any of them.
I’m unsure exactly what points you’re making.
