✓Well SupportedLinoleic acid content varies significantly across foods, with seed oils containing 20-55% and tallow/butter containing 1-2%.✓Well SupportedDietary dairy fat, particularly from butter, is a good source of C15 and can be used to assess a person's C15 levels and dairy fat intake.✓Well SupportedWalter Kempner's studies in the 1940s showed that a diet of white rice and sugar could cure and reverse diabetes, leading to significant weight loss.✓Well SupportedPolyunsaturated fatty acids have a half-life of approximately 680 days in the human body.Well Supported

Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

Odd-chain fatty acids (C15 and C17) may protect cell membranes against oxidative stress and ferroptosis.

◐Partially SupportedReducing linoleic acid intake can accelerate cellular membrane recomposition.

◐Partially SupportedOlive and avocado oils have moderate amounts of linoleic acid, and cutting them out is recommended for achieving cellular membrane recomposition.

◐Partially SupportedLow-fat diets may accelerate cell membrane turnover and detoxification from seed oils.

◐Partially SupportedButter may be protective due to its low linoleic acid content and its contribution of odd-chain fatty acids like C15.

◐Partially SupportedAn ideal level of C15 in cell membranes is 0.4 to 6.4% of the membrane composition.

◐Partially SupportedDairy fat, including butter, is healthy, while seed oils are detrimental due to their association with lipid peroxidation and cellular damage.

◐Partially SupportedIncreasing butter intake and reducing or eliminating seed oils may be protective.

◐Partially SupportedC-15 changes cell membrane composition and appears protective against ferroptosis and lipid peroxide-induced cell death.

◐Partially SupportedRemodeling all cells, fatty tissues, and mitochondria in the body takes approximately four years after stopping seed oil consumption.
