Wasn't this more or less one of the conclusions Peat drew attention to with the Burr's low fat experiment? No PUFAs > higher metabolism > depleting B vitamins faster > skin condition etc of rats.
He has said higher metabolism requires more of several nutrients, and without them deficiencies can be deepened.
Hasn't Peat said that in situations of enforced famine PUFAs are protective against starvation (ie slow it down)? May apply to a lot of people (~a billion?) who have access to a severely inadequate food supply.
Don't PUFA usually kill slower than pellagra or beriberi? I guess the dose is relevant.
It seems as though just taking the PUFA out of a diet that is devoid of any nutrition other than calories could result in worsened deficiencies.
Fresh fruit/juice, good milk, eggs, liver give vitamins without them having to be artificially added. So replacing even 'fortified' grains with these should give net benefit.
Having done a long stint on low nutrient-high PUFA, I now want high metabolism and all nutrient needs met (low PUFA).
Apologies for de-railing the thread further, but is this why refined sugar is so bad? I get insane temperature rises when I eliminate fat, and ramp up refined sugar (I don't get this effect effect with fruit or starches). I can believe that sugar is a potent metabolism stimulator, but it has no nutrition at all. So it's like putting your foot down on the gas pedal, with no juice to back it up. Surely it's taxing your resources? It's probably going to give you health problems somewhere down the line? A few tablesoons of Sugar + a few tablesoons of extra strong, freshly ground coffee = weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
