Using turmeric to slow the body's
production of eicosanoids brings their levels in the body back to normal levels and as a result, chronic systemic inflammation in the body decreases significantly.
The O - 6 / 3 ratio in macadamia nuts is upside down & does not provide enough organic CIS omega 6 for synthesis of the complete
suite of eicosanoids for optimum health.
Unsaturated fatty acids are also a
component of eicosanoids, which are chemical messengers that regulate immunological and inflammatory activity in the body.
Low unsaturated fat intake disrupts the balance of fatty acids in cell membranes, resulting in the
development of eicosanoids that trigger inflammatory responses and constrict blood vessels.
This is because Omega 6 fats are
part of the eicosanoid pathway that is responsible for producing inflammatory markers in the body.
Excess Omega 6s oxidation appears to cause arterial damage and my unanswered question; is that damaging oxidation the
result of eicosanoid omega 6 chemical oxidation cascades rather than mitochondrial oxidation?
