    Maternal high-PUFA diet causes alcoholism, aggressiveness, early puberty, and hyper-estrogenism in offspring

    Finally, an intervention study that should help convince some of the die-hard PUFA fans that these fatty acids are far from benign/beneficial, but in fact can cause a variety of chronic diseases. A very important finding of the study, that distinguishes it from other PUFA studies, is that it...

    Air pollution impairs cognition, aspirin is protective

    A new study demonstrating that even short-term (less than a month) exposure to polluted air impaired cognition in humans, and that the mechanism of action was by triggering an inflammatory response. Ergo, anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) and especially aspirin, were found to be protective. Since...

    Inflammation (from PUFA), not telomeres, determines lifespan / healthspan

    The idea of lifespan being entirely determined by limits on cellular division has ruled biology for more than a century and is perhaps best exemplified by the (in)famous (and false) Hayflick limit. Reaching the said limit is postulated to be controlled by telomere length, and as such the...

    Sterculia oil, SCD1 and inflammation

    To my surprise I didnt find a post on this so I figured I'd make one, because I want to know your opinions. So many of us know Brad Marshall for his Croissant diet, a diet high in stearic acid. Recently he has been researching and writing a lot about the role of the enzyme SCD1 which regulates...

    PUFA metabolites may drive bacterial infections and their resistance to antibiotics

    The study below demonstrates yet again that there is hardly an aspect of human health that PUFA does not influence in a detrimental manner, even seemingly non-metabolic aspects such as bacterial infections. As it turns out, most bacteria express the enzyme family known as lipoxygenases (LOX) and...

    DHT / Progesterone / aspirin treat, cortisol ineffective, PUFA promotes prostate cancer

    A great study, albeit in-vitro, that once again throws into doubt the entire hypothesis behind prostate cancer. First, it proves the key role of PUFA in the genesis and progression of prostate cancer by demonstrating that inhibitors of the COX enzyme (responsible for synthesizing prostaglandins...

    Is Google pro-PUFA?

    I decided to type "polyunsaturated fat" into Google today, and literally every link on the first page of the search results (including PubMed studies) was decidedly pro-PUFA and anti-SFA. It's not until somewhere down on page two that we see something else: an article from Harpers Bazaar...

    PUFA promote torpor / hibernation, decrease lifespan

    Not many studies on this topic, but here is one that will hopefully satisfy my critics who keep complaining that there is no evidence for the anti-metabolic, pro-hibernation effects of PUFA. Apparently, PUFA is sought after by hibernating animals (but even they consume it within very tightly...

    PUFA are potent immunosuppresive agents

    Just a quick post for all those PUFA/fish-oil lovers who keep sending me hate-mail about the "incredibly beneficial" omega-3, and even omega-6 (e.g. some athletes/bodybuilders tout arachidonic acid as a natural "anabolic agent"). As the study below discusses, all PUFA, but especially omega-3...

    Wild Salmon Fixed Dry Skin and Improved Digestion

    Been on a very low PUFA and restricted diet (mostly carnivore, but experimented a lot with carbs, no fish) for almost 2 years. I've had dry skin, especially on my knuckles for about 1 and a half years. I had read to eat more fat and so I did. Lamb fat, beef fat, but the more fat I ate, the...
