Actually, twelve years before, Dr. L.M. Hurxthal at the Lahey Clinic in Boston had clearly shown that thyroid secretion controls cholesterol level in most patients. In patients with hyperthyroidism, or excessive thyroid activity, he had found, the cholesterol level in the blood was below the average normal level. After surgery on the excessively active thyroid [...]

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, [...]
Adv Shock Res. 1981;6:93-105. Essential fatty acid deficient rats: a new model for evaluating arachidonate metabolism in shock. Cook JA, Wise WC, Knapp DR, Halushka PV. Essential fatty acid deficient (EFAD) rats are significantly more resistant to the lethal effects of S. enteritidis endotoxin (20 mg/kg, IV) than normal control rats. Compared to endotoxin-treated normal [...]
