Most of modern, mainstream economics based on neoclassical assumptions. Tends to ascribe inevitability, if not necessarily desirability, to market outcomes.
Omega-6 linoleic acid is the most abundant polyunsaturated fatty acid found in the Western diet. Itâs plentiful in safflower and commonly available partially hydrogenated sunflower oils, two common cooking and food oils in use today.
Marketers claim that any bad data on coconut oil are due to hydrogenation, and virgin coconut oil is not hydrogenated. But only a small percentage, 8%, of coconut oil is unsaturated fat, which means only 8% of coconut oil gets hydrogenated. And the yield is mostly stearic acid, the one common long-chain saturated fatty acid that has minimal impact on LDL cholesterol levels.
