                                        My God, Dr. Mercola has another pertinent subject.😊

                                 

Linoleic Acid, Mitochondria, Gut Microbiome, and Metabolic Health — A Mechanistic Review

                                      He's speaking my language, "HEALTH",  above all else! 😉


Story at-a-glance

  • Linoleic acid (LA), a fat found in vegetable oils, accumulates in your tissues and disrupts mitochondrial function, which drains your energy and slows your metabolism
  • This fat becomes toxic when oxidized, producing harmful byproducts that damage DNA, enzymes, and the machinery your cells need to generate energy
  • Excess LA damages your gut by interfering with colon cell metabolism, harming beneficial microbes, and promoting inflammation linked to insulin resistance and obesity
  • LA’s half-life in body fat is about two years, meaning the damage builds up slowly and requires long-term dietary changes to reverse
  • Cutting out vegetable oils, eating gut-repairing whole foods, and switching to stable fats like grass fed butter and tallow are key steps to restoring your metabolic health.
