At birth, the baby’s mitochondria contain a phospholipid, cardiolipin, containing palmitic acid, but as the baby eats foods containing polyunsaturated fatty acids, the palmitic acid in cardiolipin is replaced by the unsaturated fats. As the cardiolipin becomes more unsaturated, it becomes less stable, and less able to support the activity of the crucial respiratory enzyme, [...]
Animals that naturally have a relatively low level of highly unsaturated fats in their tissues have the greatest longevity. -Ray Peat, PhD Trends Neurosci. 2004 Oct;27(10):595-600. Free radicals and aging. Barja G. Aging is characterized by decrements in maximum function and accumulation of mitochondrial DNA mutations, which are best observed in organs such as the [...]
Hard to believe this unscientifically “scientific” article was written by a PhD who is “of international renown in the field of lipid biochemistry.” Can I at least get one scientific reference to back up your claims, Dr. Enig? -FPS Ray Peat, PhD, is an influential health writer who claims that there is no such thing [...]
Understanding the function of fats within different organisms is paramount. It’s a simple idea, yet many really smart people with lots of initials behind their name seem to never think about such things. Don’t let education get in the way of your learning. There is much marketing momentum behind some fats, like fish oils and [...]
