This is only portion of the previous post attributable to Ray Peat. The

rest is from my friend.

In the l960s, Hartroft and Porta gave an elegant argument for decreasing

the ratio of unsaturated oil to saturated oil in the diet (and thus in

the tissues). They showed that the " age pigment " is produced in

proportion to the ratio of oxidants to antioxidants, multiplied by the

ratio of unsaturated oils to saturated oils. More recently, a variety of

studies have demonstrated that ultraviolet light induces peroxidation in

unsaturated fats, but not saturated fats, and that this occurs in the

skin as well as in vitro. Rabbit experiments, and studies of humans,

showed that the amount of unsaturated oil in the diet strongly affects

the rate at which aged, wrinkled skin develops. The unsaturated fat in

the skin is a major target for the aging and carcinogenic effects of

ultraviolet light, though not necessarily the only one.
