Is Paul Saladino right? A response to critics.

In this episode, I discuss the claims made by a defender of Paul Saladino in response to my debunking. I show, again, that seed oils were not originally engine lubricants, while acknowledging that rapeseed oil (a predecessor of canola oil) might have been. I continue pointing out that lard has a much longer history as a machine lubricant than do seed oils. I also point out that many fats and oils are used as machine lubricants. It's not something unique about vegetable oils. I comment that this story has emerged as a kind of rhetorical strategy to trick people into disliking seed oils.

Using the work of Michael Ristow, I again dismantle the oxidative stress concept. I acknowledge that oxidative stress exists but I point out that it is simply not a reliable biomarker of health and that sometimes oxidative stress improves health via hormesis.

I acknowledge that the research conducted on stearic acid is interesting while also pointing out that mechanistic plausibility does not constitute evidence. I again introduce the idea of mechanistic speculation to shoot down this idea. I point out that Paul constantly uses mechanistic speculation while dramatically overselling it to market himself and his products.
