Omega-6 and omega-3 PUFA promote inflammatory pathways at the genomic level; SFA do not
As my readers know, one of the main inflammatory effects of PUFA is due to their conversion…
PUFA almost fully blocks protein synthesis and the effect is correlated with unsaturation; SFA do not
Another study demonstrating direct negative effect of PUFA on human health. Namely, inhibition by PUFA of protein…
PUFA/MUFA trigger serotonin release, platelet aggregation independently of downstream metabolites; SFA do not
One of the sneaky arguments that mainstream makes in favor of PUFA is that while they have…
High-fat/low-carb diet causes systemic inflammation, impairs gut barrier, aggravates inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
Another “controversial” study, which adds even more evidence to the hypothesis that low-carb diets (and by extension,…
PUFA is incompatible with and directly toxic to mammalian mitochondria
This is one of the few studies that presents direct and largely indisputable biochemical evidence for the…
LipOdd – Liquid Product With Odd-Chain Saturated Fats (SFA)
More than a decade ago, when I was just beginning my exploration of bioenergetics, one of the…
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…
Lipolysis preferentially releases PUFA from adipose tissue
…compared to SFA and/or MUFA. This topic is considered highly controversial in Peat-land, mostly because of the…
Stearic acid (SA) is an estrogen receptor antagonist
Over the last year or so I stumbled upon a few studies claiming both SA (C18:0) and…
Protein and saturated fats beneficial, PUFA detrimental for thyroid
A good new study, which again confirms that saturated fat is anything but detrimental to our health….
