How PUFA damage the brain, and other cells

[haidut]

It is again sad to see that the conclusion of this study is that the observed effect is "good" for health, but nonetheless it is a confirmation of Ray's writings that PUFA make cells "leaky" and "bloated" - i.e. disturb the cell permeability and its affinity for water and other substances like proteins.

"...Consuming oils with high polyunsaturated fatty acid content, in particular those containing omega-3s, is beneficial for the health. But the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are poorly known. Researchers at the Institut de Pharmacologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire (CNRS/Université Nice Sophia Antipolis), the Unité Compartimentation et Dynamique Cellulaires (CNRS/Institut Curie/UPMC), the INSERM and the Université de Poitiers1 investigated the effect of lipids bearing polyunsaturated chains when they are integrated into cell membranes. Their work shows that the presence of these lipids makes the membranes more malleable and therefore more sensitive to deformation and fission by proteins. These results, published on August 8, 2014 in Science, could help explain the extraordinary efficacy of endocytosis2 in neuron cells."

Interesting how two sides with opposite starting assumptions can observe the same phenomena and make it fit their initial assumptions.

It is called the "argumentative theory of reasoning". Look it up on Google, it is an interesting read.

Leaving neo-darwinism out of it, it may also be thought of as confirmation bias, or in Peat's view, corrupt patrinomy.
