Amazon Summary
One of the Best Health and Wellness Books of 2017 ― Sports Illustrated Deep Nutrition cuts through today’s culture of conflicting nutritional ideologies, showing how the habits of our ancestors can help us lead longer, healthier, more vital lives. Physician and biochemist Catherine Shanahan, M.D. examined diets around the world known to help people live longer, healthier lives―diets like the Mediterranean, Okinawa, and “Blue Zone”―and identified the four common nutritional habits, developed over millennia, that unfailingly produce strong, healthy, intelligent children, and active, vital elders, generation after generation. These four nutritional strategies―fresh food, fermented and sprouted foods, meat cooked on the bone, and organ meats―form the basis of what Dr. Cate calls “The Human Diet.”Rooted in her experience as an elite athlete who used traditional foods to cure her own debilitating injuries, and combining her research with the latest discoveries in the field of epigenetics, Dr. Cate shows how all calories are not created equal; food is information that directs our cellular growth. Our family history does not determine our destiny: what you eat and how you live can alter your DNA in ways that affect your health and the health of your future children.Deep Nutrition offers a prescriptive plan for how anyone can begin eating The Human Diet to:*Improve mood*Eliminate cravings and the need to snack*Boost fertility and have healthier children*Sharpen cognition and memory*Eliminate allergies and disease*Build stronger bones and joints*Get younger, smoother skin

Your gambit for downvotes appears to be successful.

Never fails on this topic.

That book is written by someone advocating "seed oils" being extremely unhealthy for you, a position that is not held by the relevant scientific community; actually exactly the opposite is true.
loudtieblahblah
seed oils are unhealthy. and there are plenty of studies proving so.
tpush
No, this is simply not true.
loudtieblahblah
Well you enjoy your Crisco, dude.
rgrieselhuber
Well, as convincing as all your citations here may be, just going from first principles, I will continue to avoid the highly-processed, very profitable industrial waste known as 'seed oils.'
