Nutritional Biochemistry
Long-form mechanistic write-ups — evidence graded, conflicts of interest disclosed, contrary findings engaged rather than smoothed over. Not medical advice.
Oxidative mechanisms linking excess seed-oil linoleic acid to cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, obesity, and cancer risk. A plain-language primer on fat chemistry, evidence graded throughout, and a full answer to the strongest counterargument.
Read the paper →Every substantive claim carries an inline grade — Strong, Moderate, Animal/in-vitro, Inferred, Contested, or Speculative — attached to that specific claim rather than a whole section.
Where a synthesis originates from advocacy sources rather than a study demonstrating it end-to-end, that is stated at point of use, with mainstream reviews cited alongside.
Each paper states the strongest case against its own thesis at full strength before answering it — and says plainly where the reply is weak.
A plain-language primer comes first, and enzyme-level detail is quarantined into optional blocks with a takeaway that carries the essential point.
A follow-up on ferroptosis and iron-driven oxidative stress is currently being scoped.
