Linoleic acid is everywhere, even in animal fat…
so, there is no avoiding it
We are eating 56,000% more now than 100 years ago!
Linoleic acid:
When we get it from refined foods or cooking oil,
like canola or soybean oil:
-we are getting way too much &
-not getting it the way nature intended
Linoleic acid:
When you can keep it as linoleic acid
-your body knows what to do with it
Dr Stephen Cunnane discovered years ago:
-linoleic (omega6) & alpha linoleic (omega3)
-are the highest burned fats in brain
for energy
-brain makes its own ketones from these
Linoleic acid from animal sources:
-stays as linoleic acid,
-does not turn into a lipid peroxide
~because of its antioxidants keeping it clean
When from a refined source:
-robs away the antioxidant mechanisms
-they are changed into lipid peroxide
Linoleic acid:
-we eat way too much
-it is most readily oxidized (turns into lipid peroxide)
Lipid peroxide are remarkably pathogenic molecules
Linoleic acid, from refined and cooking oil sources:
-produce lipid peroxide metabolites that:
-force a fat cell to grow through hypertrophy
(growth in size of cells)
-limit fat cell potential for hyperplasia
(growth of new cells)
If you have fat cells that are told to grow,
due to sufficient energy & insulin (must have both)…
when sufficient linoleic acid with its lipid peroxide is:
-forcing growth through hypertrophy
“That is a sick way to get fat”
In my lab (at BYU) we are studying these linoleic metabolites:
-how they change mitochondria function in
-muscle cells & fat cells
“It is not good. It goes beyond the
saturation of the fat &
the pure amount of calories”
