Why not to just copy some of the numerous experiments designed by the "experts" to demonstrate the atherosclerogenic properties of SF (coconut oil) and bring it to the full term/lifespan? They usually kill the animals in a cup of weeks/months to look at some markers. There is a formula for the standard laboratory chow containing mostly unsaturated oils. In the case of coconut oil I wouldn't use the "hydrogenated" coconut oil but instead buy some organic version intended for human consumption like e.g. mercola.com. The flax seed oil is sold in supermarkets and may substitute for the more expensive fish oil. I observed some detrimental effects with it at about 10 g per day at 80kg bodyweight after 2-3 years (about 1/30 of lifespan) - and it was not rancid as far as I could smell and taste. The physical activity may also play a role, especially for omega-6 (AA is used for "tissue repair").
My boss was planning some experiments with mice so I tried to suggest doing a lifetime study with different oils in the diet but he strictly rejected it. Instead he is going to expose them to radiation and look for short time markers ... |
