“An editorial by Pinckney in the June 1973 issue of the American Heart Journal reviews evidence that the unsaturated fats hasten aging of the skin, are toxic to the both animals and man, and furthermore, that use of such diets has not prevented heart attack.” Broda & Charlotte Barnes

“When I was studying the age pigment, lipofuscin, and its formation from polyunsaturated fatty acids, I saw the 1927 study in which a fat free diet practically eliminated the development of spontaneous cancers in rats (Bernstein and Elias). I have always wondered whether George and Mildred Burr were aware of that study in 1929, when they published their claim that polyunsaturated fats are nutritionally essential. The German study was abstracted in Biological Abstracts, and the Burrs later cited several studies from German journals, and dismissively mentioned two U.S. studies* that claimed animals could live on fat-free diets, so their neglect of such an important claim is hard to understand. (*Their bibliography cited, without further comment, Osborne and Mendel, 1920, and Drummond and Coward, 1921.)” Raymond Peat, PhD

“Age pigment, lipofuscin, is produced in oxygen deprivation, apparently from reduced iron which attacks unsaturated fats. It has its own “respiratory” activity, acting as an NADH-oxidase. Melanin is produced by polymerization of amino acids, with copper as the catalyst. With aging, iron tends to replace copper. Melanin is an antioxidant. Thus, there is a sort of reciprocal relationship between the two types of pigment. A vitamin E deficiency relative to consumption of polyunsaturated fats, and an estrogen excess, accelerate the formation of lipofuscin.
A 47 year-old woman who had only a few “liver spots” on the backs of her hands began taking large amounts of estrogen, and within a few months the brown spots had darkened and spread until most of her skin was covered with spots. When she stopped using estrogen, and applied progesterone topically, the spots disappeared.” Raymond Peat, PhD
"Everything that doctors know about cholesterol is wrong." Raymond Peat, PhD
.
"By 1930 a clear relationship between thyroid hormone and cholesterol had been established. High cholesterol was formerly used as a reliable marker for hypothyroidism. Much of what we have learned about human and animal physiology continues to be blurred by marketing, special interest, existing pharmaceutical patents, and the pursuit of mega profits.
When billions of dollars are at stake, it’s easy to have amnesia regarding cholesterol’s important role in human and animal physiology. The medical culture has done an exceptional job of firmly ingraining the idea that cholesterol is bad and the lower the serum cholesterol the better off you are. However, this anti-cholesterol sentiment isn’t warranted and such a stance is ignorant and harmful." Rob Tuner, Functional Performance Systems
.
“In the last 20 years, there have been many studies showing that lowering cholesterol increases mortality, especially from cancer and suicide, and that people with naturally low cholesterol are more likely to die from cancer, suicide, trauma, and infections than people with normal or higher than average cholesterol.” Raymond Peat, PhD
.
"A person may have normal levels of thyroxin but not be converting it adequately to the active form of the thyroid hormone (triiodothyronine or liothyronine). High cholesterol is practically diagnostic of hypothyroidism. Why? Because thyroid hormone controls the conversion of cholesterol to important anti-aging hormones and to bile salts. However, many hypothyroid people have low cholesterol from a suppressed immune system, liver problems, or from eating a low protein (vegan) diet.” Lita Lee, PhD
