For some time a few years ago I was mislead in thinking Pufa would be good for me. I thought I would need Omega 3 rich oil for a better brain and healthy heart.
So I was eating regularly a salad with rapeseed oil in the evening. Also I tried to eat fatty fish a lot of times. At this time I often got little inflammed spots at my scalp. I also had a lot fatigue and yawning.
So I never felt any of the alleged benefits. Then I even tried fish oil capsules. From that I got really bad sensations. My heart felt like it was a hole in it. My whole body was feeling tense, I got strange heavy headaches.
I got to the point when I finally realised that this cannot be good.
My physical background is that I am very low weight. I seem unable to gain weight. I think I have some general issue concerning fatty acid metabolism and synthesis.
I am speculating that if I put Pufa in my system it might have a big negative impact on my cell membranes and myelin sheaths.
Nowadays I still get those shock like sensations if I accidentally ingest Pufa.
For example we were invited and they had a salad with walnut oil - shock like feeling. Or getting a roll with flaxseeds in it - the same. Now I also always have to ask people how they fry things and then I have to turn it down if they say sunflower oil. People do not get that I get real problems from it. I know I might be a special case because of general metabolic problems and those immediate reactions on Pufa but after all I think I harmed myself by consuming bigger amounts of Pufa for some time. Does anyone else get immediate reactions from Pufa or has a theory about it?
