Fat isn’t bad for you aside from heart disease and being a major risk factor in a myriad of other health conditions you mean?
The state of HN on nutrition discourse is completely screwed.

If canola and other scary industrial seed oils are so bad, how come it improves health outcomes especially when swapped to from butter? How come canola has even more impressive nutritional profile than olive oil? How come unsaturated fats improve health outcomes when swapped to from saturated fats?
Here’s a good roundup of the research: https://www.the-nutrivore.com/post/a-comprehensive-rebuttal-...
If you can honestly say that you feel good after eating anything fried in canola oil or soybean oil then I don't know what to tell you. Good luck with that. To me it is blatant garbage. It is disgusting rancid toxic waste. Inedible. I feel good after eating eggs or steak fried in clarified butter and have no cardio health issues whatsoever. Have been eating this way for decades. Blood checks are all good. No issues. None.
Canola is primarily monounsaturated.
> Saturated fat is essential for health.
Saturated fat is literally not essential.
> Cholesterol is nutritious
> All of that bullshit advice against saturated fat and dietary cholesterol has been completely debunked many years ago. It was fraudulent science.
You're spouting dangerous, pseudoscientific nonsense.
It is 35% polyunsaturated and whatever monounsaturated fat it contains is inferior quality for human needs. Rancid toxic trash.

You're a boomer living 50 years in the past with outdated fraudulent industry "research".

My relatives eat huge amounts of saturated fat and animal products many have lived to 100 years old (not a western diet). We don't have heart disease in my family. I've been mostly animal based for the past 20 years, eating multiple times the recommended daily allowance of saturated fat and cholesterol, and latest blood checks / blood pressure are perfect. Also cut excess sugar/carbs out of my diet 20 years ago. I am living proof for myself. Whenever I eat a meal high in canola oil I instantly feel like absolute shit, but I feel good after eating fatty red meat (burgers only with no fries or sugar drinks). The vegetable oil fries and soft drinks are what kills you. Not the burger.
What was the obesity rate in 1993 vs. 2023?
Looking in my stock cupboard, the raw fats I do get are probably the best bang for the buck nutritionally.
They were fine with trans fats being bad, but when saturated fats are also demonstrated to impact health outcomes by the exact same methodology, they resist it because it condemns their favorite foods.
It seems the health benefits are contingent on what you replace saturated fat calories with (i.e. replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats does seem to reduce heart disease, but replacing them with processed carbs does the opposite.)
