USA average diet: 80% of fat is polyunsaturated fatty acids…
It is as if we were all 5 pack-a-day smokers
-kids have lung cancer
-pregnant women dying of heart attacks & strokes
~because everyone smoking from birth
We ask: “What is the cause?”
-maybe too many apples…
-we need more vitamin D…
NO! It’s the cigarettes!
In this real scenario we have been participating in this
-decades-long uncontrolled experiment
-without knowing it:
What happens when people eat so much PUFA
(polyunsaturated fatty acids) :
-their body fat doesn’t work any more
-they are a tinderbox of inflammation
Groupings of how we respond to this wildly unhealthy diet
(just like different responses to smoking)
With PUFAs the groupings we have are:
-autoimmune disease
-cancer
-overweight, obesity, fatigue
-diabetes
Groupings of how we respond to this wildly unhealthy diet
(Most people: 80% of their fat is PUFAs)
That leads to a known set of problems
-what I dealt with (as MD):
-every single patient was affected
-no matter where I worked
People don’t know to avoid these things…
and it makes them sick
It’s the PUFAs!
