Interesting. I have almost the same smoothie every morning minus the banana and oats. Instead I use psyllium husks for fibre.

My cholesterol has been in range for years despite eating almost exclusively saturated fat since I'm in the keto camp. Just watched an interesting episode by Peter Attia and Layne Norton on seed oils which might shift my view on PUFAs a bit.

Thoughts?

People are just different. I always wonder how we should think about eating and health on a personal level.

I can eat McDonalds and still get perfect blood results. (I dont do that anymore). I have a friend who does not like any vegetables and fruits, he is fine. But also friends who just look at a bag of sweets and grow fat. Allergies and stomach health can be very specific.

Of course you do control a lot. But at the same time, it seems very individual. Maybe a chance for personal AI nutrition practice?

Not related to your question, but the lead levels in psyllium husks are too high for me to consume them daily.
