Hopefully, if Dr. Bhattacharya gets confirmed, the NIH will fund a study of this sort. "The debate concluded with agreement by all that we need a randomized controlled trial to compare the effect of low and high intakes of LA. The trial should have typical US intakes of omega-3 PUFAs, with 7.5% energy from LA (the current US intake) in one group and 2.0% LA (historical intake) in the other. It would study cardiac endpoints and continue for about 5 years. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21430375/ No such study has ever been funded. That's why this is the current state of affiars. "Fatty acid composition in the Western diet has shifted from saturated to polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and specifically to linoleic acid (LA, 18:2), which has gradually increased in the diet over the past 50 y to become the most abundant dietary fatty acid in human adipose tissue." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9060469/
thank you for the heads up! i can’t wait to watch these hearings, get these candidates seated and clean up these agencies from top to bottom.
Thanks Rav, I was wondering. Bobby needs the support
