No need to ramble on as I clearly stated:
I would be far more concerned with your
overall diet let alone lifestyle.
Absurd for anyone to even waste their time fretting over the carrier oils used/injected when on trt!
The minuscule amount (1 mL or less) of carrier oil being injected/week whether cottonseed, sesame, peanut, grape seed, or castor will make a shit lick of a difference.
Dietary sources of fatty acids whether saturated (long, medium, short-chain), polyunsaturated (Omega 3s/6s), or monounsaturated let alone lifestyle will have a bigger impact on overall health!
I am a firm believer in evidence based nutrition.
Most definitely.
Refined seed oils are particularly nasty because the industrial process of refining them such as using hexane, high temperatures, bleaching and deodorizing them, causes the fats to become highly oxidized and toxic to the body. The high sugar and refined carbohydrates are terrible for us, but adding seed oils to the diet 100 years ago was like throwing jet fuel onto the fire.
No need to tell me.
Well aware of who Dr. Mary Enig is let alone her research and in-depth knowledge when it comes to fats/health.

I changed my diet to a low carb/high fat diet, which only includes natural fats such as butter, beef tallow, lard, and full fat dairy. I have lost close to 100 lbs and removed the need for all of my diabetic medication.
I take my diet VERY serious and I now realize that industrial seed oils play a major pary of my disease.
Glad to hear that is a drastic transformation.
LC/HF diet works for you.
Genetics/insulin sensitivity will have a big impact on what type of diet works best.
You are going to have many on both extremes.....low carb/moderate-high fat vs high carb/low fat and even then when getting into types of fatty acid consumed things can get very interesting, to say the least.
