"...Perpetual Pre-Hibernation: In humans, the continuous consumption of seed oils could be driving a perpetual state of pre-hibernation, where the body, under the influence of these oils, prepares for a scarcity that never comes. This leads to energy conservation and fat storage, not because of an excess of calories, but due to the body's misinterpreted survival response. Marshall's insights suggest that this condition might explain why even children today face unprecedented levels of obesity.
'...Chris Knobbe MD, an ophthalmologist who identified seed oils' major role in AMD, has written and lectured all over the world about the overwhelming evidence that seed oils drive obesity across various populations. A chart he often references in his talks, clearly illustrates that while sugar consumption has remained relatively stable over the decades, the intake of seed oils has risen dramatically, paralleling the increase in obesity rates. This correlation is not just a coincidence but a telling sign that we've been focusing on the wrong dietary
component when addressing obesity.
>...Heating Seed Oils: When seed oils are heated, especially repeatedly as in commercial frying, they oxidize and form toxic compounds. These oxidized fats have been shown to promote inflammation, insulin resistance, and cellular damage, all of which contribute to obesity (Nature). This aspect is frequently overlooked in dietary discussions, leading to a misunderstanding of what makes fried foods harmful.
"...In summary, while sugar has its place in the conversation about health, the main dietary villain behind America's obesity has become the ubiquitous use of seed oils. These oils not only impair thyroid function but also trigger a survival mechanism meant for ancient times, leading to modern-day metabolic disorders.

Walk into any American airport today and pause. Look around at the travelers waiting at the gate, the families queuing for fast food, the crowds rushing past. You are looking at a country that our grandparents would not recognize. In less than three generations, the very shape of the American body has shifted so dramatically that what would once have been regarded as rare or concerning is now routine. Airplane seats have been widened, retail clothing racks have been extended, mannequins have been reshaped, and soda cups have been enlarged. Entire industries have recalibrated to accommodate a physiology that is neither healthy nor sustainable.
Yet our cultural ...
