I have cut my omega6 down to under 5% of total fats and likely under 2%. All seed oils are gone and nuts (except macadamia) are minimized
The most obvious result is that I no longer sunburn. I was in the sun for 5 hours on friday and barely got a pink nose. The secondary effect is that my skin doesn't get blisters. I was laying grass sod for many hours which requires cutting it with a knife. I was sure my hands would be torn up but there wasn't even a hot spot.
I'm now convinced that the Rockefellers and others knew very well the effect of high omega6 in our diets when they pushed an industrial waste product (cottonseed oil) into lard in the early 20th century, after they first were able to remove the poisonous gossypol from it.
If all our cell membranes (and organelles) are made from fatty acids available to us then they are far more fragile and prone to degeneration when made out of fragile, multi-double bond fatty acids. Mitochondria use a 4 fatty acid molecule called cardiolipin. When all 4 fatty acids are fragile linoleic there is mitochondrial disfunction. Saturated and monounsaturated are far more robust. We make saturated fats when we have excess calories. We have an enzyme (SCD1) that adds a double bond to make monounsaturated fats as needed. The only process we have to make polyunsaturated fats is an omega9 called Mead acid. Most people don't use that process because of our abundance of dietary PUFA.
I really believe that limiting PUFA is a strong key to health. Macular degeneration is due to the breakdown of fragile fats in the eye. The P53 tumor suppressor gene protein product seems to be nullified by a PUFA breakdown product (4HNE or malondialdehyde).
It seems one of [their] primary tools for health suppression is finally being exposed.
