    Fatty acid oxidation - linking all illness (especially cancer) with stress and diet (fasting / low-carb)

    The study below is one perhaps the most comprehensive review published to date, challenging the medical dogma that cancer is a genetic/mutation disease.

    The Keto Diet Works Only For A Week, Then It Causes Obesity And Diabetes

    SFA / MUFA Are Preferentially Oxidized, While PUFA Are Stored/accumulated

    Just a quick post in response to some of the hate mail I keep getting on a daily basis in regards to the body's discriminatory treatment of various fat types. According to various proponents of keto diets, fasting, etc the organism has no preference for one type of fat or another in terms of...
