Isr J Med Sci. 1996 Nov;32(11):1134-43. Diet and disease–the Israeli paradox: possible dangers of a high omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid diet. Yam D, Eliraz A, Berry EM. Israel has one of the highest dietary polyunsaturated/saturated fat ratios in the world; the consumption of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) is about 8% higher than in the [...]
Mol Cell Biochem. 1998 Nov;188(1-2):5-12. Timing of dietary fat exposure and mammary tumorigenesis: role of estrogen receptor and protein kinase C activity. Hilakivi-Clarke L, Clarke R. The possible association between a high fat diet and increased breast cancer risk has remained controversial. This largely reflects the conflicting data obtained from migrant, case control and animal [...]

Nutrition. 1999 May;15(5):392-401. The influence of maternal diet on breast cancer risk among female offspring. Hilakivi-Clarke L, Clarke R, Lippman M. The induction of breast cancer is a long process, containing a series of biological events that drive a normal mammary cell towards malignant growth. However, it is not known when the initiation of breast [...]

Also see - Arachidonic Acid’s Role in Stress and Shock Anti-Inflammatory Omega -9 Mead Acid (Eicosatrienoic acid) In adults, prostaglandins are known to be involved in many of the harmful effects of inflammation. They are formed from the polyunsaturated fats, linoleic acid and arachidonic acid, which we are unable to synthesize ourselves, so the adult’s [...]
Also see: Unsaturated Fats and Longevity “Curing” a High Metabolic Rate with Unsaturated Fats A living cell requires energy not only for all its functions, but also for the maintenance of its structure. -Albert Szent-Gyorgyi The brain has a high rate of oxidative metabolism, and so it forms a very large proportion of the carbon [...]
Adv Exp Med Biol. 1989;266:3-15. Lipofuscin and ceroid formation: the cellular recycling system. Harman D. Lipofuscin, age pigment, is a dark pigment with a strong autofluorescence seen with increasing frequency with advancing age in the cytoplasm of postmitotic cells. By bright-field light microscopy lipofuscin appears as irregular yellow to brown granules ranging in size from [...]
The half-life of fats in human adipose tissue is about 600 days, meaning that significant amounts of previously consumed oils will still be present up to four years after they have been removed from the diet. -Ray Peat, PhD Am J Clin Nutr. 1980 Jan;33(1):81-5. A mathematical relationship between the fatty acid composition of the [...]
Capitalizing on the FDA’s list of food ingredients that are Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS), here is a top 10 list of substances Generally Regarded as Harmful (GRAH). Carageenan and the gums, ironically, are considered GRAS, but the data (1,2) indicates that they’re GRAH. Some of the substances below do have a physiological function, however, [...]
