Here is an interesting lecture by Gary Taubes worth watching:

http://webcast.berkeley.edu/event_details.php?webcastid=21216

An interesting point he makes is that only sugar (both glucose and
fructose) can be converted into the "alpha glycerol phosphate" which
is essential for any fatty acid storage. Also he says that this fat
storage is so powerful that even expecting mothers consuming high
carbs are holding on their fat stores to such an extent that their
children are born skinny.

Now I can imagine what happens when we consume carbs together with
PUFAs - the PUFAs go right to the storage !!! Imagine that your
adipose tissue releases these unstable fatty acids when you are under
some stress or suffering from disease like cancer ... It would be
considerably less dangerous to consume only saturated fat with
carbohydrates and leave the "EFAs" for the low carb meals. Then you
would have only inert safe molecules in the "gasoline tank".

"Plant-derived PUFAs require desaturation to form EPA and DHA"

Now since PUFAs are found in plants .. and carbohydrates are ALSO
found in plants .. what you are in effect .. saying IS .. "I wonder
what happens when someone eats a piece of .. fruit."

I can tell you ..

He will become .. healthier for .. it ..
