    The Big Misunderstanding About PUFA Depletion

    There's a big misunderstanding about PUFA depletion just like there is a big misunderstanding about endotoxin, and that is, they are always a problem and always will be a problem for life. You can't stop their effects completely, but you can do things to greatly reduce their effect. You...

    I know this is unhealthy... BUT, would a long-term water fast help deplete PUFA?

    Title says all - I'm not planning on doing (another) water fast, but I finished a 20 day fast about a month ago and I'm wondering if that would have any effect on PUFA depletion? Based on the massive sunburn I got last weekend, it didn't, but wondering if there's any science on it. (I also don't...

    LouAna coconut oil concerns

    Does anyone know if this is a good brand of coconut oil? I've searched around and people seem convinced that it is bleached. The oil itself is yellowish. I got a drop of it in my beard and didn't wipe it good enough. An hour or two later my face was itching in a line where the coconut oil ran...

    Losing Weight, mitigate PUFA release

    So I'm around 20% bodyfat male, not incredibly overweight and planning to lose some. I understand losing weight releases PUFAs and other toxins into your body, but that is unavoidable. What should I do to mitigate the damage of the PUFA release as I lose weight? I eat a few whole carrots...

    Coconut Oil Heavy Diet

    We all know the virtues of coconut oil, as outlined in Dr Peat's article. I would like to hypothesize; specifically on its established effects of raising body temps and its anti-fungal properties. For those of us who are hypothyroid, endure low temps that are difficult to raise, have poor...

    The Only Affordable Coconut Oil Is Part Hydrogenated-so Is It Safe?

    It just came to my mind that you cant hydrogenate saturated fat?? So you can only hydrogenate the rest 8% of the fat (92% is saturated). Is that right?? So those supermarket block of coconut oit that are sold like butter are at most 4% hydrogenated??? I they were fully hydrogenated it would be...

    Is Pufa the Main Culprit?

    Is PUFA just one category in the thousands of endocrine disruptors, as they all do damage? Re environmental estrogen disruptors also accumulate and have estrogenic effects in our adipose tissue of both PUFA and saturated fats:. (and my unanswered question as to how long these substances remain...

    1 Fish oil = 1 glass of milk

    A normal daily capsule of fish oil, 1200mg, is about equal to one cup of whole milk. I know that Ray says you cannot avoid pufas but a normal fish oil doesn't seem to make any real difference. I would think the real danger would be eating things like flax seed and walnuts, yet, Ray hardly even...

    4 years of Pufa Detox

    This may seem like a generic question, are there many people that have gone through a 4 year pufa detox? If so any consistent symptoms that are prominent after the pufa detox? Just curious to see how many people out there are in this stage.

    Chris Masterjohn on inflammation, omega-3, omega-6

    Transcript from video, 13:00-21:00, see below. Note: Ray Peat said on one of the "politics and science" radio shows with John Barkhausen that Chris Masterjohn is a very good researcher. He said his only disagreement with him is on the essentiality of the "essential fatty acids". Masterjohn...

    Contradictory Information On PUFAs

    I have read TONS of Peat's work (mainly from his articles, and some from audio interviews). One thing I really like about his writings is how cohesive they are and how they all fit together so nicely. However, there are many important themes that I find debatable based on the studies I find on...

    Fungus And Coconut Oil

    This jar of coconut oil had just a thin crust of coconut oil inside it, that has been in my bedroom for 6 months, or so. There is now something growing on it. It still smells of coconut. Ironically, it smells of actual coconut flesh. You know that sort of chemically 'coconutty' flavour? I...

    Eyes, n-3 and overall lubrication

    I briefly commented with haidut about this issue today. I'm sharing because if anyone is experiencing such a thing, you might consider it: I've stumbled upon studies on eye function, especially the retinal ganglion cell and intraocular pressure, suggesting that dietary n-3 are needed in order...

    coconut oil that tastes like...bacon?

    Maybe I'm getting closer to being ready for the rubber room, but... I bought some of the Spectrum brand organic refined coconut oil a week or so ago and it has a discernible taste that is reminiscent of bacon...almost like bacon grease. It even has a very faint smell to that similar effect...

    The essentiality of PUFA is under doubt

    The mainstream science and blogosphere is starting to catch up on the fact that the PUFA are not that "essential" after all. While there is no official statement on the issue as of now, there are several studies that call for rethinking the misnomer and replacing it with something milder...
