In the latest ShortCircuit video, the sponsor's ("Masa")'s talking point include miss-information and unscientific criticisms about seed oils.

Edit: I am **also** talking about the company's talking point about them here too

You may prefer your chips and fries to be fried in beef tallow for the taste, but this is not "healthier" than doing it in seed oils. (In fact animal saturated fat is probably worse - but both are high fat salt and carbs snacks anyways, so nothing about this is very good for you)

We're all nerds here, which means we probably understand a little bit of science. I think LMG should **take more care and vet out pseudoscience and fake informations before allowing such segments to be aired**. This is **not** the Joe Roegan podcast, after all.
