Peskin: Pro two PUFAs, anti others

[Guest guest]

Peskin is an internet health guru who believes PUFAs are the key to cancer

and heart

disease. He suggests industrially processed oils and omega 3's can be very

harmful.

However, he thinks you need to consumer pure, unadulterated omega 6's, namely

linoleic

acid and, to a lesser degree, the omega 3 linolenic acid. His theory is that

cancer is caused

by a lack of oxygen in the cells, and omega 6's are allegedly the solution.

He is pro saturated fat and for low-carb diets, but he is mainly focused on

getting the

right PUFAs and not on fat-soluble vitamins, like WAPF is. He sells a blend of

oils as well as

several books.

Here is a report on EFAs:

He has other reports and talks available to download on his site. I just heard

about this

guy, but he seems interesting, although I haven't bitten the bullet and started

supplementing.
