The toxicity of estrogen and unsaturated fats has been recognized for most of the twentieth century 1 0 2

and

Interactions between estrogen and unsaturated fats contribute to the aging process 1 0 2

and

Excessive supply of unsaturated fats in the diet can override some adaptive, protective regulatory processes 1 0 2

and

Unsaturated fats can overcome cholesterol, pregnenolone, and progesterone 1 0 2

and

Unsaturated fats, interacting with an excess of iron and a deficiency of oxygen or usable energy, redirect our developmental path 1 0 2

Then it must be true that...

Changes of aging are also the result of complex interactions between organisms and their environment rather than some genetic program 1 0 2 Estrogen affects our energetics and structure, and how those processes relate to aging, atrophy, cancerization, etc 1 0 2 Stress, a "respiratory defect", and free radical damage are common factors in disease and aging 1 0 2 Old organisms are easily injured by inappropriate excitation 1 0 2 Control systems are now clear enough to begin reversing degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's dementia, epileptic dementia, arthritis, osteoporosis, depression, hypertension, hardening of the heart and blood vessels, diabetes, some types of tumor, immunodeficiencies, reflex problems, and special atrophic problems 1 0 2 Regenerative age-regressing can occur when many circumstances are just right 1 0 2 The structure of the brain goes into an "entropic" deterioration during the process of aging 1 0 2 Endotoxin poisoning eventually tends to intervene during stress and aging, exacerbating the trend begun under the influence of other factors 1 0 2 The increased lipid peroxidation of old age represents a vicious circle, in which the loss of the antioxidants and vitamin A leads to their further destruction 1 0 1 The mitochondrial energy problem, cytochrome oxidase and its regulation; body temperature/pulse-rate cycle disturbance; lipid peroxidation; respiratory defect; altered amino acid uptake; memory impairment; dominance of the excitatory systems vs. the inhibitory adenosine/GABA/progesterone/pregnenolone system are functional and biochemical observations of Alzheimer's disease 1 0 1
