    PUFA And Carotene

    Ray Peat, when he says that PUFAs are bad for something, he often adds that carotene is bad for the same thing as well. So it makes me wonder about the differences between carotene and PUFA. Can carotene be potentially stored for years as well, as PUFA does?

    On Palm Oil And Cocoa Butter

      I read everywhere that palm oil and cocoa butter are a good source of saturated fat which, I think, is true when looking at the fatty acids composition of it, but not when ingested and digested. Even if palm oil is 50% saturated fat, like pork fat, there is a biological subtlety linked to the...

    Fish Oil/Omega-3

    As we all know, fish oil has become very popular since the 2000s. It's in the news constantly and people are encouraged if they don't take fish oil, to make sure they eat several servings of cold-water fish per week. I've read testimonials online of both people who have bad effects from taking...

    PUFA Detox

    This ^^ is a quote that I wrote on an index card last March 1. I think it is a quote from one of the interviews. I didn't note which one. Sorry about that. Then, I wrote this which cut off at the end: Well, I've been thinking about pufa storage and how we get rid of them. Glad to find this...

    Coconut Oil: Ice Cube or Liquid

    I am wondering whether taking coconut oil regularly in liquid or frozen form acts differently on the body. I have been taking it in the ice cube form for about 2 weeks. I'm ravenously hungry, so it probably increased metabolism. I had to go from drinking about 2 quarts to 3 quarts of milk per...

    Palm Oil

    what are your thoughts on unrefined palm oil. I don't cook with it but add it to food afterwards, about 1 or 2 tablespoons a day. It's high in vitamin E and also beta carotene, and I read (can't find a link) that when the beta carotene in in fat as with palm oil it's converted better into vit A.

    Question about PUFAs

    When PUFAs are ingested, do they immediately block glucose oxidation, or are they stored in tissue first, then liberated through adrenaline, and then affect mitochondrial respiration? I get in arguments with my friend a lot, who thinks PUFAs are the greatest thing in the world, so I need to get...

    High-oleic sunflower oil?

    I've noticed that here in France practically all brands of potato chips are fried in high-oleic sunflower oil. Does anyone know if Peat has commented on this oil? It would seem to be a rather healthy fat at first glance, its PUFA content is just slightly higher than butter (about 3,6g / 100g)...

    Why Are PUFA's Delicious?

    Chicken wings deep-fried in lard or peanut oil, perchance? Served with a side of avocado dressed with Vegenaise? How about a big snack of almonds and pecans? Or a pork medallion, breaded with Panko and sauteed in bacon grease? Oh, that reminds me of bacon: how about 2 to 20 slices? Does this...

    Coconut Oil: In A Unique And Exclusive Category?

    I've been wondering about this for a long time. I know that CO is a saturated fat, of course. But from what Dr. Peat says about it, I wonder if it falls into a separate category. Dr. Peat seems to say that adding CO to one's diet will likely lead to weight loss. He has said this is what happened...

    Context of coconut oil consumption

    Are there differences on the effects of coconut oil when it's eaten with a grated raw carrot and when it's eaten with the other foods (like adding it to OJ, or using it to fried an egg)?
