Blocking prostaglandins restores (glucose) metabolism, reverses brain aging
It is rare to find a study like the one below that combines so many crucial topics…
PUFA (linoleic acid) is hepatotoxic and carcinogenic; MUFA/SFA are not
A neat little commentary in the Cell journal on a study in Nature. Not very surprising for…

PUFA metabolites (prostaglandins) drive “flu” pathology
A highly relevant study in light of the recent (and apparently, still ongoing) COVID-19 pandemic, which not…
Dietary PUFA (linoleic acid) causes inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
The rates of IBD have truly skyrocketed over the last 10-15 years, significantly surpassing the general increase…
Media: Endotoxin (LPS) drives obesity/diabetes
I did not think we will ever see such a headline in a major news outlet, but…
Regaining weight post diet/exercise due to lowered metabolism by increased PUFA in cardiolipin
This is by far the most significant study I have seen come out in the last 2-3…
PUFA, not sugar, causes eye damage associated with diabetes/aging
An amazing pair of new studies that coincidentally (synchronicity!) came out at the same time, but without…
