Your Body Weight Determines How Much Pufa You Accumalate!

[GorillaHead]

If I am to understand this study. It seem overweight people are less likely to accumulate pufa. While underweight people are at highest risk of pufa accumulation. And unlucky for me i am underweight.

Body weight affects ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) accumulation in youth following supplementation in post-hoc analyses of a randomized controlled trial

Someone should produce "Obesity Rocks" shirts.

This is a pretty weird finding, since people who are very lean( too lean) have more fat oxidation, so they should burn more PUFA and have less in their tissues, right?

I mean people should probably analyze and interpret this, title only specifies omega-3 and it could just as well be that oxidative stress is causing less of it to stick around and dysregulating things. Or not, or anything else, but ya know

Maybe that is why mild obesity has been found to protective against heart disease, cancer and diabetes. It seems like there is a growing number of studies showing being heavier is healthier overall.

This is plasma omega 3, I would assume higher bodyweight would indicate a lower plasma omega 3 as it is shuttled into fatty tissue or in the case of higher muscle mass, oxidized.
