Utterly fascinating clip here. At about 1:30, Ray Peat mentioned that he read "Pure, White, and Deadly" by John Yudkin around the time it came out. Apparently, he was so impressed with Yudkin's arguments that sugar raised blood lipids and cholesterol, that the arguments in Yudkin's book were the basis of Peat's recommendation that people under stress increase their sugar intake!
The whole thing is worthy of a listen (a bit longer than many clips, but still only 12 minutes)
Very nice overview of the issues with PUFAs and also the Burr experiment here. Probably the best overall explanation for some of the main dietary recommendations of Peat.
Also, if you know any low carb/paleo types that think the lipid hypothesis is completely false, play them this clip and ask for what justification they have for eliminating sugar.
