This is great but should consider the seed oils that are almost exclusively gmo varieties.. In America corn & canola & cotton are almost exclusively gmo that include novel proteins plus residual herbicides.. these crops also get the bulk of USDA subsidy dollars.. it's rigged to feed us the worst ingredients from corp farms. https://web.archive.org/web/20220623213618/https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/adoption-of-genetically-engineered-crops-in-the-us/recent-trends-in-ge-adoption/

"However, the inclusion of Linoleic Acid (LA) as an essential fat is misleading because excessive amounts of LA can actually wreck cellular and mitochondrial function. The word "essential" is misused in this context for the following reasons:"

One more reason is that lobbyist influence prevails & essential relates to product sales w warped science to show why dying for profit is great!

" In 1997, APHIS deregulated the first modified high oleic

acid soybean.

• DuPont’s soybean sublines G94-1, G94-19 and G-168 (USDA-

APHIS, 1997).

• This event involved a soybean with an inserted sense

orientation soybean microsomal omega-6 fatty acid

desaturase gene (GmFad2-1 gene).

§ In 2010, APHIS deregulated Pioneer’s soybean with

high (oleic) fatty acid, low polyunsaturated fatty acids

(linoleic and linolenic) and lower palmitic acid.

• Pioneer event DP-3Ø5423-1

• Inserted the GmFad2-1 gene"

For a real mind blower look at the fact that NO gmo food is ever tested by FDA for safety or novel protein effects.. they are compared to traditional varieties and similar measures of fiber & nutrients based on producer studies gets GRAS status voila into the food supply.. This was Bush Sr program of Biotech Deregulation authored by evil genius Monsanto - FDA revolving door lawyer Michael Taylor.. who needs FDA safety testing?
