At min 30, the scientist discussed how very long lived worm has much higher metabolism and
carbon dioxide production, which goes against the belief that lower metabolism would increase longevity. Short chain fatty acid increasing longevity makes coconut oil more important.
Nice video. But they will reject this study because it is done on worms.

How long one can expect to live following Ray Peat ideas ?
Ray Peat: Most important thing is the accumulation of PUFA which block your ability to respond to thyroid. If there is a way to minimize intake of PUFA and activate the elimination of PUFA , it should be able to go on indefinitely. PUFA is the basic motor of aging.

Q: I have no control over oils when eating out. What can I do to offset the harmful effects of polyunsaturated oils?

“A small amount of these oils won't kill you. It is the proportion of them in your diet that matters. A little extra vitamin E (such as 100 units per day) will take care of an occasional American restaurant meal. Based on animal studies, it would take a teaspoonful per day of corn or soy oil added to a fat-free diet to significantly increase our risk of cancer. Unfortunately, it is impossible to devise a fat-free diet outside of a laboratory. Vegetables, grains, nuts, fish and meats all naturally contain large amounts of these oils, and the extra oil used in cooking becomes a more serious problem.” -Ray Peat
