I like hearing these arguments For fresh pufa too, E.
And I like hearing pboy's pro fresh pufa views.
I still avoid them like the plague.
Here's the thing on the fresh-is-okay argument for me:
Peat talked about this principle in discussing fish oil...
It is a complicated area,
but I'm pretty sure that Peat thinks
the fresher the pufa the more evil it is.
At least that is what I'm pretty sure he thinks about fresh fish oil pufa.
He said...maybe it was an interview...
that fish oil usually was not as dangerous as the seed oils
because it--the fish oils--was most often broken down already when consumed.
And while the breakdown fish oil products were bad,
he seemed to be saying that the fresher fish oil, the less oxidized, would be more dangerous.
I am open to arguments saying fresh pufa is okay. :)
