I think super saturated fats (like hydrogenated CO) and vitamin e are necessary to correct the fat imbalance present in basically every person as a result of PUFA poisoning. If a person grew up eating regular healthy foods, these things would not be needed as a long term counter measure.@BigYellowLemon Very thoughtful post, I agree with you though I've never made up my mind about DHA. I saw a Canadian study from the early 1900s that said a newborn human infant had a fat content of about 2% PUFAs, which is similar to cow's milk and CO and (I think) mother's milk. This was before PUFAs were in everything.
I think it is very unlikely that such a level of PUFAs is really unhealthy and RP's use of fully hydrogenated CO may be a little extreme. But maybe it matters more for older people who used high amounts of PUFAs earlier in life; yet another question with no answer.
