didn't get it, if you sent itThi
DM’d instead cos off topic :)
Probably they didn't do it with rapeseeds, but might have been done with bigger crops like soybeans.YouTube videos she shows how she makes rapeseed oil, and they use a modern machine to extract the oil. So, I highly doubt that they would have been doing that throughout History.
I used to overrate this "eat the thyroid gland" idea in my earlier days, but it doesn't make much sense if you think about it.Since unsaturated fats inhibit thyroid function, and since Eskimos usually have a high caloric intake but are not typically obese, it seems that` their metabolic rate is being promoted by something in their diet, which might also be responsible for protecting them from the effects experienced by the oil researcher.
Sure, Inuit eat thyroid glands, ok. But so did virtually every other people group, just with animals that were adapted to warmer climates. So the question again becomes "why do Inuit tolerate marine PUFA so well?" Short answer is that they're biologically adapted, and someone from a temperate or tropical climate would not be able to do the same.
