Hi again, thought that this might help everyone who is undecided, as this article was published in the Lancet. It seems that the medical profession are wakingl up! About time.
TRacy > > Interesting paper published in the Lancet. Note the line: "No associations were found with saturated fatty acids." > > So again we see more solid data linking BOTH mono and poly fatty acids with plaque formation but NOT saturated fatty > acids. Note the association climbs as the number of double bonds increases. > > 3 double bonds, Omega 3 = 0.93, > 2 double bonds, Omega 6 = 0.75 > 1 double bond, Mono = 0.70 > 0 double bonds, Sat = 0.00 > > The reason? Sat fats can't be oxidized and mono and poly can be. Again I suggest you have a close look at the analysis > I have done, especially at the Plaque formation index verus the amount of double bond rich fatty acids in the various > common food oils and fats. > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crsociety/files/VCO/OilAnalysis291201.gif > > http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_ui ds=7934543&dopt=Abstract > Lancet 1994 Oct 29;344(8931):1195-6 Related Articles, Books, LinkOut > Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids and composition of human aortic plaques. > Felton CV, Crook D, Davies MJ, Oliver MF. > Wynn Institute for Metabolic Research, London, UK. > > How long-term dietary intake of essential fatty acids affects the fatty-acid content of aortic plaques is not clear. > > We compared the fatty-acid composition of aortic plaques with that of post-mortem serum and adipose tissue, in which > essential fatty-acid content reflects dietary intake. > > Positive associations were found between serum and plaque omega 6 (r = 0.75) and omega 3 (r = 0.93) polyunsaturated > fatty acids, and monounsaturates (r = 0.70), and also between adipose tissue and plaque omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty > acids (r = 0.89). > > No associations were found with saturated fatty acids. > > These findings imply a direct influence of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids on aortic plaque formation and suggest > that current trends favouring increased intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids should be reconsidered. > > PMID: 7934543 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] > > ======================== -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
