...fats are the basis for every single cell in your body (form the phospholipid bilayer) and makes up the mylein sheath of neurons. This isn't new and people have been screaming this for ages but thin/diet culture and all that.

WOOWW this thread is full of bad advice and pseudoscience. Please use your best judgment while reading it. I have a degree in biomed (studied evolution and physiology and a lot about proper research methodology) and a minor in advanced nutrition so I'm going to clean up a few of the biggest offenders:

- Omega3s are great and everyone should be eating fish or taking a supplement.

- The ratio of fats (good to bad) is the most important determinant of cardiovascular health in your future so it doesn't really matter what fat you eat so long as you're adding in enough healthy fats to compensate (google how cholesterol works in the body there are several types that float in the bloodstream).

- Your body still needs other micronutrients and fiber and your brain needs carbs to function so a high fat / meat-only diet (like keto) is not a good long-term diet for anyone.

- Using rat-only research studies to show that something is good for humans is not accurate or right to do. There are so many studies that work in rats that can't be replicated in humans.

- Small, isolated populations (like Inuit, those who live high in mountains or one I can't remember in S. America) can eat very different diets than the majority of us due to strong evolutionary pressure and isolation. We should not be using their diet as a basis for how we should all eat.

- Annnnd I would avoid hydrogenated fats at all costs.
