    Why Fish Oil Fails

    Not sure if this has been posted before, but a few emails from advocates of fish oil promoted my search. I found this study, which was promptly retracted upon publishing due to the author apparently not declaring conflict of interest and misstating his educational credentials. Note that the...

    Mead Acid Production / PUFA Intake

    When PUFA intake drops down to a minimum, how long does it take for mead acid production to begin? Is it fairly quick, or does the body have to run through it's "PUFA Stores" if such a thing exists? When consuming PUFA, what's the upper limit of consumption that might still allow for mead acid...

    High PUFA Diet Is Pro-aging, Diabetogenic, And Increases Cortisol

    I got some heated comment after my first show with Danny. The comments were about PUFA increasing cortisol synthesis. I was told that there is no study showing such connection. Well, here is one. As you can see high PUFA diet (70% PUFA) increases expression of 11b-HSD1, which is the enzyme...

    High PUFA Diet Effectively The Same As Diabetes, Aging And Cancer

    This must be one of the most comprehensive and convincing studies I have come across in the last year. Both a human and a rodent study combined into one.

    PUFA Are Carcinogenic, Dietary Glycine Blocks Their Effect

    I came upon this study by accident while I was researching glycine. While, it is always nice to see that even "mainstream" bastions of dietary PUFA are capable of publishing contrarian research the more important practical takeaway from the study is that while PUFA may be unavoidable...

    ELI5 [dangers Of Vegetable Oils]
