Your hypothesis is exactly what RP recommends. It is the ratio of Saturated fat
to PUFA that matters most than just the absolute amount of PUFA.
RP recommends saturated fat ( Short chain and medium chain are the best)
with every meal to change the blood ratio of SAT to PUFA. Saturated fat
temporarily lowers the PUFA's access to cell.
Saturated fat also improves glucose metabolism by stimulating pyruvate
dehydrogenase enzyme and PUFA does the opposite.
RP has also mentioned that one can improve the SAT to PUFA ratio by
making extra saturated fat from carbohydrate. Gaining some saturated
fat by eating extra sugar/carb is protective for a person with bad ratio
of SAT to PUFA. RP has also mentioned that once PUFA is depleted then
there is no major thyroid stimulating benefit from eating coconut oil.
