Something similar on the topic from Wikipedia which has better
references than the Ray Peat's site:
QUOTE: The role of dietary oxidized fats / lipid peroxidation (rancid
fats) in humans is not clear. Laboratory animals fed rancid fats
develop atherosclerosis. Rats fed DHA-containing oils experienced
marked disruptions to their antioxidant systems, as well as
accumulated significant amounts of peroxide in their blood, livers and
kidneys.[10] In another study, rabbits fed atherogenic diets
containing various oils were found to undergo the greatest amount of
oxidative susceptibility of LDL via polyunsaturated oils.[11] In a
study involving rabbits fed heated soybean oil, "grossly induced
atherosclerosis and marked liver damage were histologically and
clinically demonstrated". UNQUOTE.

Sounds entirely plausible. I'm still looking for the supporting research for
the claim that dogs fed a diet high in COD LIVER OIL experienced 100% cancer
mortality. It's this specific claim that interests me, because cod liver oil
is so often touted as a healthful oil (by researchers like Mary Enig for
instance). It was that particular finding from that particular study that I
found so alarming. I realize there are studies supporting the idea that
eating rancid fats is not a great idea. I don't find that surprising. |
