Mitochondrial function in general is poisoned by the unsaturated fats, especially arachidonic acid and DHA 1 0 2When animals are made "deficient" in all the exogenous polyunsaturated fatty acids, they become remarkably resistant to all sorts of stress and toxins 1 0 2The saturated fats protect against the body's stored PUFA, and keeping the blood sugar up keeps the stored fats from being mobilized 1 0 1Excessive 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 2Mead acids do not activate cell systems in the same way that plant-derived PUFAs do 1 0 1Mead acids are the precursors for an entirely different group of prostaglandins 1 0 2An excess of unsaturated fatty acids constitutes a massive distortion of the regulatory systems 1 0 2
