Stay away from nicotine. It is like playing too close to the fire. Whatever benefits aren't enough to counter the habit forming and addictive sides. I was on swedish snus, similar to zyn for 10 years and got of it 6 months ago. It was tough.
I remember looking up various studies about seed oils and sunburning because I likewise kept hearing tons of anecdotes _and_ experienced it myself, so was wondering if any research had been done.
It's honestly one of my more favorite reasons to not eat seed oils, as I love being in the sun and practically never ever getting any sunburn anymore is great, when coming from a place of burning really rapidly and _really_ severely.. Though my diet in my childhood was also very, very processed and filled with seed oils.
"The estimated per capita consumption of soybean oil increased >1000-fold from 1909 to 1999. The availability of linoleic acid (LA) increased from 2.79% to 7.21% of energy (P < 0.000001), whereas the availability of α-linolenic acid (ALA) increased from 0.39% to 0.72% of energy by using 1909-C modeling."
The Relationship Between Linoleic Acid Intake and Psychological Disorders in Adults (2022)
"Conclusion: We found that higher intake of LA, as percentage of energy, was positively associated with depression, especially in men, older adults, and normal-weight subjects. Higher intake of LA was also related to higher odds of psychological distress in older individuals. More studies, particularly prospective cohorts, are needed to confirm these findings."
Linoleic acid–good or bad for the brain? (2020) [the current state of knowledge on the role and metabolism of LA and OXLAMs in the brain]
"Thus, consistent with the increase in dietary LA in the food supply, breastmilk LA composition has increased from 7% to 12% of total fatty acids between 1970 and 2000 The 12% composition value corresponds to 8% energy, which exceeds the minimum 1–2% energy required for developing infants by 4–8-fold."
"Overall, studies have shown an adverse effect of maternal breast milk or dietary LA on neurodevelopment. One study reported that a high maternal breast milk LA percent composition (>9.7% of fatty acids) was associated with reduced motor and cognitive scores in 2- to 3-year-old infants. In the same cohort, maternal breastmilk LA percent composition was associated with reduced verbal IQ at 5 to 6 years of age. In fact, children breastfed with the highest levels of LA had cognitive scores comparable to children who were never breastfed."
"One study reported that a high maternal breast milk LA percent composition (>9.7% of fatty acids) was associated with reduced motor and cognitive scores in 2- to 3-year-old infants. In the same cohort, maternal breastmilk LA percent composition was associated with reduced verbal IQ at 5 to 6 years of age."
"Consistent with these findings, Lassek and Gaulin found an inverse correlation between breast milk LA percent composition and cognitive scores in 15-year-old children, suggesting a long-lasting impact of maternal LA on offspring cognitive skills."
"Pre-clinical and clinical studies dispel previous assumptions that LA is a benign fatty acid in the brain. On the contrary, when present in excess and chronically, it induces ataxia in chickens, promotes neuroinflammation in rats and is linked to abnormal neurodevelopment in humans."
Sunburns, obesity, and diabetes feel negligible by this point.
It would be interesting to know if you could implant positive false memories. Like memories of courage or helping people to make someone more confident

I must say; I'm mighty impressed.
The video is so packed with information and so many related branches. Yet it is still easily digestible. As fitting to the topic!
Hadn't heard of the seed oils affecting sunburns before. But thinking back it does align with my own experience.
On a related note. Just doing some light reading of the, way too light, research around the subject is honestly a bit scary.

You're the best researcher I know of. Thank you for all you do! God bless

How much should you workout on a fast? For example, if I do a 4-day fast, should I be doing resistance training on all 4 days?
