At birth, the baby’s mitochondria contain a phospholipid, cardiolipin, containing palmitic acid, but as the baby eats foods containing polyunsaturated fatty acids, the palmitic acid in cardiolipin is replaced by the unsaturated fats. As the cardiolipin becomes more unsaturated, it becomes less stable, and less able to support the activity of the crucial respiratory enzyme, [...]

A Reply to Ray Peat on Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency

Hard to believe this unscientifically “scientific” article was written by a PhD who is “of international renown in the field of lipid biochemistry.” Can I at least get one scientific reference to back up your claims, Dr. Enig? -FPS Ray Peat, PhD, is an influential health writer who claims that there is no such thing [...]
