>It's transfats that are bad for you
Trans fatty acids are also bad, but that has nothing to do with my statement that polyunsaturated fats are bad.
>common in chemically created oils like corn oil, and unfiltered coffee
Corn oil is not "chemically created", and trans fatty acids are only in it if it is hydrogenated. Coffee does not contain trans fatty acids.
>polyunsaturated fat (found in olive and sunflower oil, and fish)
Olive oil is primarily monounsaturated fat, which is why it is not toxic like sunflower oil and fish oil are as those are both high in polyunsaturated fats.
>is a health benefactor
That is a commonly made claim, but there is no evidence to support it. There is significant evidence contradicting it.
>Omega 3 is essential for child development and healing.
There is absolutely no evidence that any fats are essential, much less specific length polyunsaturated fats. This is a completely baseless health fad.
>And they lower risk of heart and vascular disease.
Again, no evidence. Polyunsaturated fats undergo lipid peroxidation, producing huge amounts of free radicals in our bodies. This is constant as those fats are incorporated into our tissues. As a result, we have a non-stop inflammatory process occuring, which our bodies attempt to cope with. This results in hormonal imbalance and thyroid dysfunction, then type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis.
I realize this is going to sound wrong to you, because you've been fed non-stop bullshit from an entire industry that exists purely to feed you bullshit. But the evidence is quite clear. Here's a good book that lays it all out in easy to understand terms, but still cites references for all the studies showing what he's talking about.
