Story at-a-glance

  • Linoleic acid (LA), once a trace nutrient in the human diet, now makes up as much as 25% of daily calories for many Americans, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and long-term metabolic stress
  • LA transforms into harmful byproducts called OXLAMs that damage DNA, impair cellular energy production, and drive inflammation linked to heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and neurodegeneration
  • This polyunsaturated fat embeds in your body for years; it requires up to six years of low-LA eating to replace 95% of what’s already stored in your tissues
  •      Common sources of LA include vegetable oils, processed foods, poultry, pork and even many products marketed as healthy, like organic nut butters and salad dressings
  • Reducing your LA intake by eliminating vegetable oils and switching to stable animal fats gives your mitochondria a chance to recover and helps lower your chronic disease risk over time.

  •      I shall never mention how bad Linoleic Acid is for your body. I've mentioned it before. You either paid attention and chose to do something about it or you didn't C'est votre vie!
