A new presentation by Dr Knobbe came out this week. I'm still working on processing the ramifications of his latest work.
Because of his earlier work, I'd come to believe that seed (aka vegetable) oil was worse than sugar for our health (including T2D - my A1C was 12.6 in 2017 and is now down to pre-diabetic levels), but that sugar was still a major problem.
I've had statistics and modeling classes for all three of my degrees. A big lesson from that is that correlation does not mean causation - there is a high correlation between flies and garbage, but that doesn't mean that flies cause garbage.
It's also true that there must be correlation for there to be causation.
It was stunning to see population statistics on sugar, carbs, and seed oil consumption plotted with obesity and diabetes stats. The only correlation was for seed oil consumption. Sugar still plays a role, but only a minor one.
I'd learned almost 20 years ago that the high Omega 6 to Omega 3 fat ratio in our diet caused inflammation. It was many years later when I learned that most of our modern diseases were caused by chronic inflammation.
I'm also seeing more science on mitochondrial dysfunction - the energy production inside the cell. In his earlier presentation, Dr Knobbe showed how seed oils do this.
The only way to reverse the damage is to greatly reduce the consumption of seed oils - which is difficult to do as most of our processed food contains it. It also takes a long time to get the seed oil out of your body - nearly 2 years to get half out and 5 years to get 90% out.
That's about the best I can sum up two 40-minute videos - there's much more and hopefully you can get your doctor to watch. They are taught very little about diet in med school - so unless they did some research on their own, this info will likely be a shock to them.

Sadly, doctors are not immune to the Flat Earther syndrome. No amount of evidence contrary to their beliefs will change their mind. This is not a 21st Century issue where the amount of knowledge comes at a rapid pace.
In the early 1800s, a doctor in Europe tried to get other doctors to wash their hands before delivering babies. He died (and was ridiculed) before doctors finally started washing their hands in the late 1800s.

A century ago, Rockefeller (of Standard Oil fame) was responsible for the funding of medical schools and changing the curriculum leading us to the treatment of symptoms with drugs (many coming from the petrochemical companies).
The terrain theory (healthy body) was displaced with the germ theory and early successes with antibiotics and vaccines appeared to support their claims.
We now have severe issues with antibiotic resistant bacteria and similar issues with vaccines. With our understanding of the gut microbiome, the terrain theory doctors were proven right.
It's more profitable to keep people on drugs than fix the underlying issue. Reducing my A1C from 12.6 to prediabetic was accomplished without pharmaceuticals.

I have several links to include here where insurance companies are showing excess deaths not due to COVID. These deaths did not start until the vax rollout. I know of no other possible candidate for the cause of these deaths. I do not have the medical vocabulary and education to comment on any particular study. That's why I include posts from those that do have the background to comment on them.

You may not be aware that the FDA wanted to keep the Pfizer docs secret for 75 years. A court ruling is now giving us monthly batches of these documents. Given what the FDA knows, you have to wonder why they haven't pulled the vax from the market.
