After completing PhD he dig dipper into PUFA and it's history.
He got his PhD in 1972. In another place he mentioned that he started
strict avoidance of PUFA after sometime he realized how bad it is.
He also mentioned that he takes long time to ponder about things
before he implement it in his life. I do not remember if he gave the exact
year he started avoiding PUFA diligently.He started his newsletter in 1981.
My guess it's in between 1972 to 1981.
Wilfrid said:Why did he use to recommend sardines, a fatty fish loaded with PUFA, in his book " Nutrition for women" as a good protein source that should not interfere with thyroid function for people with inflammatory disease?
What would be the reason to avoid it now?

I believe that book was written in the 1970's.

Charlie said:Just so you know I am not holding out on the rest of the answers. I sent Ray the first two questions, and then when I saw that the questions were coming in so fast I waited till the rest were voted in and then I sent the final 18 questions. And as soon as I get them in my inbox I will post them up. :)
