Guest guest Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Friends, I have been following the discussion for quite some time on PUFAs and the recommendation that they be less than 4% of calories. I am trying to understand this based on a few different things... 1. It appears almost impossible to keep them this low if one is on a traditional (higher fat) diet that consists of more than coconut oil. 2. Didn't Price find a number of cultures who would have consumed moderately higher PUFA rates (7-9%?) but were superbly healthy? (aka, doesn't seafood have a moderately high PUFA rate, nuts have a high PUFA rate and were regularly consumed by some groups?). So, just wanting to understand. www.wholelifeco-op.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
