    Difference Between Naturally-Occurring PUFA And Man-Made?

    Does Peat draw a difference between eating a polyunsaturated fat from a natural source, like a peanut, rather than pressed from a seed, bleached, etc.? For example, is it better to eat flax seeds in something than it is to have "mono and diglycerides"?

    Plant Diet Increases Risk Of Cancer And CVD Due To PUFA

    This article is a little odd but I decided to post it anyways. It basically claims that humans have a mutation that was caused by eating high plant diet and that mutation makes arachidonic acid so dangerous. I don't know if buy the genetics argument, but I do like the fact that the author openly...

    Plant-Based Diet Causes Lasting Genetic Mutations

    A new study claiming vegetarian diet, specifically PUFA, causes DNA mutations. Positive selection on a regulatory insertion-deletion polymorphism in FADS2 influences apparent endogenous synthesis of arachidonic acid Are we what we eat? Evidence of vegetarian diet permanently shaping...

    Male Fertility Requires Progesterone And Antagonism Of A PUFA Metabolite

    Ray has written many times on progesterone's role in both female and male health. This study discovered that sperm actually has a progesterone "receptor" on its tail, and it is the activation of this "receptor" by progesterone that allows sperm to make the final push into the egg and perform the...

    Depression Is A Systemic Disease Linked To Pufa Oxidation

    This study is very important, but unfortunately politics once again has limited the way it is being interpreted. The first major point of the study is that depression is not a local (neurological) but rather a systemic condition. The second major point is that depression symptoms were linked to...

    Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (dppc) Protects From Pufa Cytotoxicity

    This study shows just how "good" PUFA is for us. Human cells treat PUFA as a toxin and when faced with a PUFA overload, the cells ramp up production of the saturated DPPC as a defensive mechanism. Another strong point for the study was that it used EPA and DHA to achieve the PUFA overload, so...

    Childhood Obesity, Rapid Growth Linked To Pregnant Moms Eating Fish

    The official explanation is that there are organic pollutants in the consumed fish, but I think the overload of omega-3 that come from consuming fish at least 3 times is a much more likely explanation. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/02/160215113907.htm "...Women who ate fish more...

    Mike Eades Posted Blog About Negatives Of Pufa, Fadh2:nadh Ratio

    Well, well, Ray Peat wins again. Mike Eades, a low-carb/high-fat blogger, posted on his blog about the increase of PUFA in American diets and it's correlation to obesity. He talked a bit about how PUFA raises the FADH2:NADH ratio, and raises insulin resistance as a result...

    Pufa Stimulates Cortisol Production Even In The Absense Of Acth

    Many people opposing Peat have complained that there is no evidence for PUFA acting on the stress hormones or that oxidizing PUFA is bad for health. Well, this study not only shows otherwise but also demonstrates that a PUFA metabolite is capable of stimulating cortisol synthesis even in the...

    Plasticisers (bpa, Dehp) Boost Pufa, Estrogen, Cortisol & Block Glucose Oxidation

    While the FDA continues to claim that BPA and other plastic derivatives are harmless since no known mechanism exists to explain their effects, the mechanisms of action have been quite well known for decades. BPA specifically is an estrogen "receptor" agonist more potent than estradiol, AND also...

    Increased Pufa Oxidation May Be Biomarker For Alzheimers

    In line with the slow public admission that Alzheimer is a metabolic disease, this study found that the development of Alzheimer's can be predicted by a simple analysis of urine. The predictive biomarker in urine is called octenol (1-Octen-3-ol) and is it is formed in humans through the...

    Blocking inflammation from PUFA stops progression of cancer

    This study is quite timely given the other recent one showing that stopping brain inflammation reverses aging in the brain. viewtopic.php?f=155&t=8269 Both of the studies are also important because they highlight the primary role PUFA play in both processes. Both studies looked at the effects...

    This is a recent article, still not published but "Article in Press" status. This explains the earlier studies that found people can be overweight and obese with no major health issues.

    Blocking Inflammation From PUFA Reverses Brain Aging

    This study is important on several levels. First, it shows that it is possible to fully reverse brain aging. Second, it suggests that one of the main mechanisms for brain aging is inflammation induced by the primary metabolites of PUFA - the leukotrienes. I talked about them in my first show...
