I just listened to the first one today. I have listened to one of Knobbe's talks before and was thinking he was a bit of an easy target, because his conclusions are all drawn from epidemiological research, which has it's place as a starting point for theories, but is of course full of holes. Gil was actually very respectful of him, however, which I respect in these kinds of discussions. I like that he even said that if people want to avoid seed oils it's not going to harm them.

It's given me some better ideas of what to search for to try and find something on the studies mentioned. I'm just hoping that the saturated fat arm of the studies weren't them eating junk food, which can sometimes be the case. Most people want to prove their hypothesis right whichever side of the argument they're on. Egos are hard to override.

Anyway, I enjoyed listening to him, he's calm and reasonable.
