| Hans, I may be able to push through a long term experiment with different oil feeding in mice, seriously. But I need to writeup a clear scientific proposal first. One issue in these experiments is that to be accurate one needs to keep a daily record of how much food the mice actually ate and possibly even how much they excreted. How would you deal with a situation if the mice don't like eating food rich in either fish or coconut oil ? In the case of fish oil e.g. you may get calorically restricted mice which would live as long as the coconut oil mice because of their caloric restriction (which is known to significantly extend lifespan). I may base the diet on the standard 20% fat which is normaly 1:1 beef tallow : corn oil. Also is there any PUBLISHED paper showing the saturated fat only fed mice in longer term? Also any citation on high PUFA or no fat diet fed mice would be welcome. I think I cannot cite the old internal MIT report in this case also because they say that both VitB6 and linoleic acid were needed for COMPLETE restoration of the scaly skin etc. |
