I’m very determined to avoid PUFA, and while I’m not at 0g, I think I’m usually at around 2 grams/day.
This study came as quite a shock to me:
“Group A was fed a semisynthetic diet containing 5% cholesterol and 16% hydrogenated coconut oil (HCO). Another eight dogs were fed diet B which differed from diet A only in that one-quarter of the HCO was replaced by safflower oil. Group C ate a controlled diet of meat and kibble. Diet A contained no essential fatty acids while diets B and C contained sufficient amounts of linoleic acid to satisfy established nutritional requirements. Severe aortic, coronary, and cerebral atherosclerosis was present at autopsy in group A dogs but no lesions were observed in any of the dogs fed diets B and C”
Any thoughts?
