    Coconut Oil, Skin Saturation, Unsaturated Fat to Saturated

    What's Your Opinion About MUFAs And MUFA-rich Foods?

    Hey, what is your opinion about monounsaturated fats (MUFAs) and foods that are high in them (i.e. olive oil, chocolate, butter)? I have the impression that MUFA-rich foods make my acne worse. For instance, while eating coconut oil has not much influence on my skin, eating butter (even...

    Cod Liver Oil- Extremely Toxic, Ray Peat Was Right

    While researching I found out that the linoleic acid is 4x mre prone to oxidation than oleic acid. Linolenic acid with its 3 double bound is 9 times more prone to oxidation than oleic. Where would a DHA with its 6 double bond land, like 36x or mybe even 100x more prone to oxidation. Damn that is...

    Speeding up the PUFA Detox

    When I switched to the Peat diet, I went from having lots of PUFAs to none overnight. I am absolutely laden with them, dripping with PUFAs. Of course I want to detox them faster, I expect a lot of Peatarians would like that too. I read that I'm supposed to let them stay in storage, keep them...
