Mitochondrial function in general is poisoned by the unsaturated fats, especially arachidonic acid and DHA 1 0 2The toxicity of estrogen and unsaturated fats has been recognized for most of the twentieth century 1 0 2Excessive supply of unsaturated fats in the diet can override some adaptive, protective regulatory processes 1 0 2Unsaturated fats, interacting with an excess of iron and a deficiency of oxygen or usable energy, redirect our developmental path 1 0 2Dietary changes can drastically reduce the toxicity of linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and arachidonic acid 1 0 2A deficiency of polyunsaturated fatty acids leads to altered rates of cellular regeneration and differentiation 1 0 2The body produces a small amount of unsaturated fatty acid (Mead acids) when dietary PUFAs are not available 1 0 2Mead acids do not activate cell systems in the same way that plant-derived PUFAs do 1 0 1An excess of unsaturated fatty acids constitutes a massive distortion of the regulatory systems 1 0 2The absence of cancer on a diet lacking unsaturated fats indicates that something very simple can be done to reduce the suffering from the major degenerative diseases 1 0 2
