Its not misinformation if its true. I specifically called out seed oils, since cutting that will basically cut most of the things that is bad in the modern diet. Its hard to find ultra processed foods without it here in my country. Even some soda has it now.. Its obvious that there are many factors, but starting with removing seed oils and sugar will make the biggest impact since so many other options has to be removed then.

Your list is true if you remove red meat from it. Obviously no people should be smoking, drinking, using plastics around food, do some gym or other fitness daily .. and so on.

So the real story here is that seed oils are a proxy, you haven’t necessarily seen any effect from removing them from your diet (consistent with the actual evidence here) but by cutting out processed junk you’ve lost a load of weight.

Congrats on the weight loss (genuinely), but it’s very unlikely seed oils are any sort of factor in themselves.
