These guys are big into pseudoscientific fad diets ala ray peat. Also they claim canola oil causes sunburn now. Just bizarre.

(i figure a lot of this is covert status display stuff - class signals etc)

The seed oil / sunburn thing is something I saw going around online just this week. Is there /anything/ behind it at all or is it just another chunk of LessWrong science by anecdata?

I’m not sure but am personally very skeptical because its associated with health grifters.
