I really am out of the loop now. I had no idea that “influencers” 🙄 are pushing vibe based health advice regarding cooking oil. That just seems so oddly specific? Why is this a thing?
I think a part of the push is from the various oil producers. It happens with food all the time. “Beef it’s what’s for dinner”, “a glass of wine a day is healthy”, “egg cholesterol is good cholesterol”, “pork the other white meat”. All ways to get rid of oversupply and raise profits.
Those were obvious examples of advertising but ever since social media and influencers, I don’t trust these broad statements anymore.
You trusted advertisements before influencers? It was always the same lies, just a different avenue.
It is not exclusive to, but a part of, extreme right brain rot.
