Part III: EFAs, Cellular Oxygen, Cell Membranes and Cancer - The Powers of Low Oxidation Seed Oils
Free radicals damage the lining of the arteries; damage the brain and other cell membranes. Massive levels of inflammation in the body can be caused from cooked polyunsaturated seed oils. If you want to avoid the pain of inflammation or dementia, then avoid free radical generating high heat pressed seed oils and oxidized fish oils.You must only use unoxidized or super low oxidation seed or fish oils.
The Queen of Fats For the Brain: Approximately 60 percent of the human brain is composed of fat, 25 percent of that material is DHA. Since the synthesis of DHA from Alpha Lenolenic Acid in humans is much lower and more limited than previously assumed. The excessive consumption of oxidized omega-6 fatty acids in the modern Western diet further displaces DHA from membrane phospholipids. An emerging body of research is exploring a unique role for DHA in brain development and the prevention of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. DHA is increasingly being added back into the food supply as fish oil or algae derived oil supplementation.[1]
