April 12, 2018 TAKE-HOME MESSAGE The authors investigated the association of linoleic acid (LA), a major n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), and other minor n-6 PUFAs—γ-linolenic acid (GLA), dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA), and arachidonic acid (AA)—with the risk of mortality. This prospective study included men with cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, or diabetes (n = 1019) and […]
December 27, 2017 TUESDAY, Dec. 26, 2017 (HealthDay News) — Increased daily intake of ω-3 fatty acids is associated with lower odds of glaucoma, but higher levels of total polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) intake are associated with higher odds of developing glaucoma, according to a study published online Dec. 21 in JAMA Ophthalmology. Ye Elaine Wang, […]
06.27.2016 Saturated fats tied to faster symptom worsening by Wayne Kuznar Contributing Writer High intakes of total fat and particularly saturated fatty acids (SFA) increased the rate of structural progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA), whereas high intakes of unsaturated fatty acids appeared to slow the rate of radiographic progression in a prospective observational study. In […]
August 31, 2015 Circulation: Heart Failure TAKE-HOME MESSAGE This double-blind trial randomized 31 heart failure (HF) patients to receive either L-alanyl-L-glutamine (8 g/d) and ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA; 6.5 g/d) or placebo for 3 months to examine the effects of PUFA and glutamine supplementation on exercise performance and muscle protein balance. No significant differences […]
Intake of polyunsaturated fat in relation to mortality among statin users and non-users in the Southern Community Cohort Study Nutrition, Metabolism & Cardiovascular Diseases, 08/06/2015 Kiage JN, et al. The results suggest potential benefits of PUFA consumption on mortality which are only apparent in the absence of statin therapy. It seems prudent to consider the […]
Polyunsaturated Fat Intake Estimated by Circulating Biomarkers and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality in a Population-Based Cohort of 60-Year-Old Men and Women Matti Marklund CIRCULATIONAHA.115.015607 Published online before print June 17, 2015, doi: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.115.015607 Abstract Background—High intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. Large […]
5/5/15 by Diana Swift Contributing Writer Action Points Aromatase inhibitor-associated arthralgias were equally reduced by omega-3 fatty acids and soybean-corn oil placebo in breast cancer patients. Triglyceride levels were reduced by omega-3 fatty acids and not by placebo, but there were no differences in LDL or HDL cholesterol or CRP. The arthralgias that reduce quality […]
4/14/15 by Kamal Patel MPH, MBA Keith Ayoob recently wrote a piece for MedPage Today concerning the benefits of polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs). In it, he recounts his advice to patients to cook and fry with high-PUFA oils such as corn oil, rather than expensive olive oil. Aside from cost issues, is corn oil actually healthy? Let’s take a step […]
Reason.com Government nutrition nannies get it wrong Ronald Bailey|Feb. 24, 2015 9:47 am Progressives tend to believe that government knows best. The unfolding fiasco over government nutrition misinformation should give them pause. For years now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been recommending that “everyone age 2 and up should consume less than […]
Fish and fatty acid consumption and the risk of hearing loss in women Sharon G Curhan Am J Clin Nutr November 2014 ajcn.091819 Abstract Background: Acquired hearing loss is common and often disabling, yet limited prospective data exist on potentially modifiable risk factors. Evidence suggests that higher intake of fish and long-chain omega-3 (n−3) polyunsaturated […]
PracticeUpdate.com RESEARCH · August 26, 2014 TAKE-HOME MESSAGE In this meta-analysis of 13 cohort studies, the highest levels of dietary linoleic acid intake were associated with a 15% lower risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) and a 21% lower risk for CHD deaths compared with the lowest levels of intake. This analysis supports current recommendations […]
Omega-3 Fatty acids for postoperative atrial fibrillation: alone or in combination with antioxidant vitamins? Guo, XY Heart Lung Circ. 2014 Aug;23(8):743-50. doi: 10.1016/j.hlc.2014.02.018.

Moreover, the most appropriate composition […]
Paz Etcheverry Factors to take into account when choosing oils Oils consist mostly of triglycerides, which are molecules composed of three fatty acids esterified to one glycerol molecule. Additionally, oils contain unsaponifiable compounds (i.e., unable to form soaps) and acyl lipids. The fatty acids that make up the triglycerides can be MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids), […]
Mayo Clinic Proceedings April 2014 Volume 89, Issue 4, Pages 451–453 Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD For many years we have been told that to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD), we must lower our intake of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and instead eat more carbohydrates and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Backed up by the National Cholesterol Education […]
American Heart Journal, 03/28/2014 Clinical Article Kalantarian S, et al. – Previous studies observed the surprising finding that saturated fat was inversely associated with atherosclerosis progression in postmenopausal women, whereas polyunsaturated fat (PUFA) and carbohydrates were positively associated. Whether certain genes modify the association of diet with atherosclerotic progression is unknown. The authors observed an […]
