LOL, but why? Linoleic acid is like diesel mixed with water compared with high octane saturated fatty acids.

Vitamin E function and requirements in relation to PUFA:

The engine needs a lot of protection if you plan on feeding it that watery diesel.

I'm playing devils advocate here, I personally drink almond milk. Shock, horror.

The almond milk is made from germinated nuts though because in addition to high LA almonds contain over 2% phytic acid by weight.

That is a lot of phytic acid!

See omega 3 thread. Listen to Peskin. LA is actually great. My skin continues to improve after adding back walnuts and almonds.

Phytic acid can be good. Tired of peatards playing scientists. It's my pet peeve.

Yeah the VA mega thread got pretty heated over on RPF yesterday. 🙂

I don't understand why Smith allows butter, it is very high VA and has plenty of stearic acid. Yes it does have butyric acid but if one really saw a need for butyric acid then why not just supplement with it?

I think his stance has changed on butter somewhat, due to glyphosate(roundup), but he likes it for phytanic acid:

I think Peskin is a hack. All unsaturated fats make me react bad to carbohydrates.

Scientists are paid to find "wonderful" things about carotenes. They are also paid to find "wonderful" things about LA and phytic acid.

Historically people have put a lot more effort into reducing dietary phytate than they have carotenes.

A good example of bad food science:

A whole page dedicated to extolling the virtues of isothiocyanates.

I used the vegetable list to check that cauliflower didn't have too much of this nasty thyroid toxin. No wonder brussels sprouts taste so foul.

Poisoning for profits.

The black and white nonsense about fats should stop. I have seen increased satiation by using more polyunsaturated fats.

I do see a difference in metabolism depending on the source though. Packaged foods with lots of PUFA are king at messing my energy.
