    The Big Misunderstanding About PUFA Depletion

    There's a big misunderstanding about PUFA depletion just like there is a big misunderstanding about endotoxin, and that is, they are always a problem and always will be a problem for life. You can't stop their effects completely, but you can do things to greatly reduce their effect. You...

    PUFA Depletion: Temporary or Permanent?

    30 Day PUFA Depletion Study 14 Day PUFA Depletion Study >15% Fat Depletes PUFA Study All of these studies show that PUFA depletion can be accomplished relatively quickly with fat restriction over a period ranging from 14-31 days. In one of the studies, PUFA repletion occurred from a single...

    I know this is unhealthy... BUT, would a long-term water fast help deplete PUFA?

    Title says all - I'm not planning on doing (another) water fast, but I finished a 20 day fast about a month ago and I'm wondering if that would have any effect on PUFA depletion? Based on the massive sunburn I got last weekend, it didn't, but wondering if there's any science on it. (I also don't...

    Fatty Acids In Anopheline Mosquito Larvae And Their Habitats

    I doubt mosquitoes will bite people whose blood will not feed their larvae. So pufa-deficiency might protect from mosquitoes.

    Losing Weight, mitigate PUFA release

    So I'm around 20% bodyfat male, not incredibly overweight and planning to lose some. I understand losing weight releases PUFAs and other toxins into your body, but that is unavoidable. What should I do to mitigate the damage of the PUFA release as I lose weight? I eat a few whole carrots...

    Is Pufa the Main Culprit?

    Is PUFA just one category in the thousands of endocrine disruptors, as they all do damage? Re environmental estrogen disruptors also accumulate and have estrogenic effects in our adipose tissue of both PUFA and saturated fats:. (and my unanswered question as to how long these substances remain...

    1 Fish oil = 1 glass of milk

    A normal daily capsule of fish oil, 1200mg, is about equal to one cup of whole milk. I know that Ray says you cannot avoid pufas but a normal fish oil doesn't seem to make any real difference. I would think the real danger would be eating things like flax seed and walnuts, yet, Ray hardly even...

    4 years of Pufa Detox

    This may seem like a generic question, are there many people that have gone through a 4 year pufa detox? If so any consistent symptoms that are prominent after the pufa detox? Just curious to see how many people out there are in this stage.

    Higher Omega-3/omega-6 Ratio May Damage The Brain Irreversibly

    Ray wrote about the man working on a boat, eating a pound of fatty fish a day, and developing degenerative brain condition. Many nutrition gurus nowadays advocate higher omega-3/omega-6 ratios and claim that while omega-6 may be bad for us, omega-3 is not. Well, this study says otherwise. The...

    PUFA Triggers Histamine Release

    It seems that PUFA is also behind abnormal histamine release. This was observed during the course of "normal" PUFA metabolism, the kind that Mary Enig claimed is different (and harmless) from the rancidity suggested by Peat. So, nothing "harmless" about it after all...

    PUFA Activates NF-kB, MUFA Does Not

    This was an in vitro study but still pretty telling. Elevated NFkappaB is implicated in many disease, especially diabetes and cancer. As you can see both omega-3 and omega-6 have this effect. Vitamin E was protective against these effects of PUFA. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10548500...

    Contradictory Information On PUFAs

    I have read TONS of Peat's work (mainly from his articles, and some from audio interviews). One thing I really like about his writings is how cohesive they are and how they all fit together so nicely. However, there are many important themes that I find debatable based on the studies I find on...

    MUFA & PUFA increase inflammation; SFA decreases it

    Ray has said that MUFA is more or less neutral when it comes to health effects but since it is unsaturated it should probably be avoided when possible, unless it comes from olive oil. This study seems to back his claims up. So much for the healthy Mediterranean diet, whose effects I believe are...
